Bittersweet

April 30, 2010. I have exactly one more year and I will be done with my undergraduate collegiate career. So when did this happen? To be honest I barely feel like a college student. Memories of college shopping with my parents and agonizing over where to apply and attend still are vivid in my mind. I blink and open my eyes and I find myself 22 years old and almost done with my junior year. I guess its a good thing that these years have gone so fast, they always say "time flies when your having fun right?" It seems, for me, as you get older you age faster. Im pretty sure you could draw an exponential curve of speed of aging with speed on the x and years of your life on the y.

This school year has been perfectly evidence of this. Iv got to say, I have been privileged to meet some truly awesome people this school year that I have very much enjoyed growing close to. Some of the highlights from this school are the following:
1. Turning 21 and rolling around on the soccer field trying to get my mug back from the gypsy
2. Learning to swim
3. 2am runs followed by beer drinking while kyle plays RCHP songs and I sing them and we record our fantastic music.
4. Trips to Wawa (maybe a little to many)
5. The invention of the Bromance
6. When Darster came to visit Kyle and I and we made her swear infront of Kyle's Webcam that she would drink with us the next day
7. Fall blowout
8. Bumpass Triathlon
9. Finding the wonders of Duathlons
10. Getting an awesome new bike built by the incredible Wilson Hale
11. Becoming closer with the cycling team and actually becoming friends with JOA, who would have thought since last year we pretty much would have been pleased if the other had gotten stepped on by a rhinoceros
12. Making chocolate covered espresso beans and figuring out the types of cappuccinos housed at every gas station on the eastern coast of the united states with Cory


Ahhh this most certainly has been a successful year. Iv probably left alot of stuff out but thats ok cause who knows if anyone will actually read this anyway. Alright, i guess its time for me to stop wasting this precious last day of classes for my junior year on blogging and to get out and STRIIIIIKE!

Still alive but....

not really in the mood for blogging. Life is great, its keeping me on my toes. Did my first olympic triathlon last weekend and I was definitely pleased with the finish for sure, finished in 2:05 plus a little. Also did my VO2 max a week ago at Endorphin Fitness which was pretty legit. I got 73.6. Again, I must say I was pleased. They say VO2 is alot genetic which doesnt really make sense since neither of my parents are exactly workout beasts, but oh well Ill definitely take it.

Im sad that the collegiate cycling season is over and a little shocked that I only have one more season left. It seems like almost no time ago I was a young sophomore on the team, sitting in the back of Owen's van constantly getting harassed by Owen and Joa as we drove to races. Now I only have one season left. This season was definitely a strong one for me in B's. Hopefully next season I can race A's assuming i manage to get my Cat 3 upgrade this summer.

Oh yah, summer, its only like a month away and I still have NO FUCKING CLUE what I am going to be doing yet. Im kind of pissed about it but it could be worse, i could be one of the many seniors graduating in May with no clue what they are going to do with the rest of their lives. Anyway, the marine board meets tomorrow so hopefully Ill hear a yay or nay about PLC this summer in the near future. If not that it looks like its off to Wegmans for me. The bright side is that I would be able to race alot of bikes... I guess things will work out in the end, no sense in dwelling on what we cannot change right?

p.s. heres a really cute picture of my sister and my dog tori. I enjoy showing them off.
