been a while... alright so i haven't touched this thing in ages and a LOT has happened... the house is finally done and have been living here for a couple months now...love having a home . still gotta clean up some stuff and get things like more furniture and curtains, but it's definitely feeling like home. 
mmmm...kitchen. i also finally broke down and got a car...a 2008 mazda3 hatchback: 
absolutely love it ...especially that i don't have to take my bike apart to fit it in the back. on the biking note...i did the MS150 ride. went mostly well, but on the second day, i decided to take the "challenge" route through the really hilly park. one of the last hills was really steep and i hit about 40 mph going down it...then suddenly my front end started shaking and before i knew it, i ATE IT...BAD. not sure how, but i managed to not break any bones and my bike also survived. the medics patched me up and i finished all bandaged up: 
i was out of commission as far as my bike goes for a couple weeks after that. then last week i finally got back and did a mountain biking race (actually i guess i did one in march too). the first race (my first EVER) i got 7th out of 12 in my age group (half marathon length, 19-29) and the second race i got 10th out of 15 (beginner 19-29)...overall not bad and NOT DEAD LAST! can't wait til the next race, but that's in august... 
and last but not least...I GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL! after being on the waiting list for 4 months...so i'm starting part time on june 2 at the university of houston...JD class of 2012 or something. also going to be working full time throughout...oh joy. i'm just glad i don't have to retake the LSAT... ok that's about it...i think. best friend from high school got married...feeling a tad old now. other best friend from high school may be moving to houston though. so all in all, life is good. |
