Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

When I was 21 I wished I was still in high school.

Now I don't really wish for either.

workplace has devolved into a bunch of adolescents scrabbling to be the cool kids and trying to cut down everyone else because no one understands them. resisting the urge to knock heads together like coconuts and snap necks like chickens (which i haven't done since leaving the farm, but i remember how).

A physics class.

I don't do homework, because it's only worth 10%, tests are 60%, the final is 30%. I have a >100% grade on tests due to being above the curve, but apparently the prof has a policy where you get an F if you don't complete 50% of the homework, which I just read in the syllabus when looking for exam dates. The homework is online, so I checked the points scale, and 186 points I have missed out on, with only 164 points left available.

Talked to him today and he said to start doing it even though its apparent I don't have to in order to understand the material, and he'll override the policy.

so... meh. I have to do hw now.
