I am sitting in the library right now studying for my last final tomorrow.  My mom is picking me up at 5 and I'm coming home for the summer!  But seeing how close I am to leaving makes me feel strange.  I realize that I almost don't want to leave.   Things have changed a lot since that first day in September.   I really think I'm starting to like ( Read more... )

Bezak has a chemistry exam in less than an hour and he is currently watching "Wild N Out" while singing 'ain't no sunshine when she's gone' out loud and is pretending to look at his chemistry notes.  Maybe he's just that good, but somehow, I doubt it.

Wait, now he's singing beetles.  He recently watched 'across the universe' and has been obsessed ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like I can't be alone on this campus.  With 40,000 people on this compact of a campus, it's hard to find a place without people around.  Even the the quiet section of the library, stupid bitchy girls won't shut up and let me have peace and quiet.  That's all I ask for, a place to reclaim my sanity where I can have the illusion of ( Read more... )

I am in the library and I am supposed to be studying for my exams.  But all I can think about is biking outside, racing and our summer road trip.  I have spent way too much time on googlemaps figuring out distances, times and places.   I've found tons of bike routes using a website around germantown, mequon and port washington that I'm ecstatic to ( Read more... )

Do you ever have the experience when a word completely loses all of its meaning? You see the word, know you've used it thousands of times, but still it feels unnatural, as if you're learning it all over again.  Eventually you retain your perception of it and it returns to normal.  It's still strange, though. How do things simply slip away like ( Read more... )

Usually when I walk down the sidewalks during passing time, I look straight ahead without noticing the people coming towards me.  However sometimes I try to make eye contact with them ( Read more... )

This weekend was the collegiate nationals triathlon race.  It was a blast.  It took us 13.5 hours to drive down, and we drive all through the night. I didn't go quite as fast as I wanted to, but it will definitely serve as great motivation to train and race hard this summer.   Just being there with over one thousand other college students, ready to ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I leave for Alabama.  I am unbelievably excited.  I guess it's because the weather finally decided to turn into spring, there are only 3 weeks left of school and I need a break.  And mostly because I love racing.   I have a midterm tomorrow, but it's so hard to care knowing I'll soon be hundreds of miles away. 

I love cranking my ipod to a really happy song in the midst of walking through cold, rainy, miserable weather.

I enjoy the feeling of defiance.

I am sitting on the second floor in steenbock library.  I am looking out the window watching two girls play catch a field across the street.  The sun's going down and it's kind of chilly, but just enough so that all you need is a sweatshirt.  One girl throws the ball, the other catches it.  That girl throws the ball, and the other catches it.  This ( Read more... )
