So I'm a lazy bum...

I haven't been riding my bike in the past few days. Gas has just been too expensive to ride out to White Rock in the morning, and while the Katy Trail is nice, I'm just not used to it. Guess I'm going to have to get used to it fast, because its the only long(ish) trail within distance of biking. I think I'm going to save the trip to White Rock for Saturday's when I do the long rides. Along with that, the homework load, the recent tragedy in the news, and a few friends' crises from back in KS and OK have left me a bit drained.

I'm going back home to see my parents this weekend, so I'll do my long ride at Riverside Park instead. Don't know how that will go seeing as I haven't ridden much this week. Hopefully I will make it all the way, but I will try to keep the pace down so I don't overdo it.

I am starting to feel more camaraderie with my fellow Econ students down here, which is good. A couple especially seem to be very nice, very intelligent people and I enjoy talking to them. It's nice to also know a couple of people outside the department that I can hang out with. I ran into one particularly nice person I met last week, who swiped me in for lunch at the cafeteria using her card. Kudos to you, amiga, and thanks for the lunch.

Other than that I bring my bass back up here after this weekend! Yeah! My bass is back! That's about all for now, and I have to get up in 5 hours to drive back. Hasta luego.
