Today I:
#326
Today I began my detox, while not quite as thorough as I hoped, I still haven't smoked dope or drank.
I fell on my first commute riding the Trek T1. A third car decided to make the left as the light changed. I didn't see, or guess the ***** would have the nerve to start her turn that late. I stopped, then fell over shortly after. I'm really tired of straps, I want to go back to clipless, where I can remove my foot when I need to.
I also left work a half hour before a ride started 11 miles away because I thought some sqrl was going to go. needless to say i made the ride start. She didn't show up though but it was all good, saw a lot of friends and managed to resist temptations of breaking my detox.

Today I rubbed my eye immediately after chopping fresh habanero peppers. Not one of my smoothest moves.

I left for work, stopped by the grocery for some fruit and a Arnold Palmer. As soon as I leave the grocery I get a flat, I run home, jump in the car and drive to work.
I'm cursed with flats lately. I've been getting at least 2 a week. This time it was because the GP4000 had a puncture in the side. When I get home i'll patch it with a dolla, holla and ride over to the co-op to try and put a new cog on the wheel, get some lights(finally) and then go to school.

Well done!
Today I drove my car ~20 miles towards work, then parked, got my bike out, and rode the remaining ~5 miles, for Bike To Work Day.

Did you stop at a station? I was hanging around the Campus Bike Project location around 8:30-9:20am. Unfortunately, my "commute" was only about a mile, if that.

I took my differential equations final this morning. That class shouldn't be as hard as my teacher is making/made it.

yeah, I love lab chemistry, but I knew that there was no way I'd graduate with a decent GPA in biochem, considering I despise math.

Good for you! I despise Chemistry with a vengeance... it shattered my dreams of wearing a white coat and stethoscope for a career.

My biochem program has like no math, I only had to take up until calc 2 and general physics, and for chemistry i had to do 8 credits of general chem and organic chem, the next two years are just BMB courses
