Religion and Birds on Hiatus

So that last post bored me nearly to death. The rest of the birds are going to take a break for a while. I just have to talk about what a rotten day this started out to be.

First, I was going to get up and use the new gym in our apartment complex, but instead I slept in. Actually, that was awesome. So today started out great.

Then, I took a really long shower and got ready really slow and leisurely-like. That was awesome too. Sounds like the beginnings of a great day, huh?

























BUT I spent too long getting ready and I had 9 minutes before class started when I got out of the bathroom. It usually takes me 13 minutes to get from my front door into class if I run the whole time. If I was responsible and didn't have to rush anything, it would probably take me about 16 or 17 minutes from the front door to my seat in class. I had 9 minutes. Here is where my day started going sour.

I got out the door to take my bike and my tire was flat so I took the DweebCruiser6300 to school. Also, I left my brand new, never-been-used fender on my nice bike because it didn't seem worth it today. (Remember that. It just might come up again later.)

I forgot that I wasn't on my fixed-gear, and that I couldn't slow down by pedaling slower, so every time I approached an intersection and when I got up to the bike lock poles I had to hit the brakes and they squealed so loud. I was humiliated. And I wasn't even on a slick looking bike to make up for it.
At least when I am on my nice bike I can comfort myself with the knowledge that I have the finest parts in the whole bike rack- TIG welded 4130 ChroMoly steel track frame, Sugino cranks and bottom bracket, tektro brakes on my sweet Alex DA-22 rims, MKS track pedals and Surly hubs and track cog. Also, I have some rockin quads and hams.


Aaaaaaaaaaahh yeah...
But anyways, today was bad. I haven't changed or fiddled with the brakes on the DweebCruiser6300 since I bought it over a year ago. So I parked it and ran into my Torts class which I am ALWAYS late to (it's just that usually my professor is late too, so he never knows. Ha!) But he beat me today and I walked in sheepishly and turned on my computer...
...
...and I had 26 minutes of battery. So I waited 22 minutes and then stood up and moved to the very back of the room and plugged it in. That wasn't so bad though... I checked my email because he went overtime.

And I got free pizza at a presentation put on by the Nebraska Attorney General, the Nebraska District Court and the Lancaster County Court to try and win over new summer law clerks. That was pretty good. And Anna and I used a gift card at Target tonight and I got some Craisins (I should have put Craisins on my favorite candy list because I really like them, but I can rarely justify buying them because they are a splurge that is good for you. That is hard to justify sometimes...)

Also, I got some real headway done on my next project.

Oh right...sadnesss. It did rain on my ride home and I had a hard time steering because my fingers were frozen.
But that was ok.
I didn't even get so very wet. It was mostly just really cold. So I guess it was a pretty good day overall.

OH YEAH! I remember the reason why today was so bad. I didn't get the call from the FBI. But it's ok, don't panic like i did until 2:45 today. They are just behind on their notifications and probably won't call until Wednesday (seeing as tomorrow is a federal holiday) so we'll just have to wait to hear about the internship.
Which means I will just procrastinate filling out my forms for a few more days.
