After buying and completing a new bike for racing, I've actually taken the time to sit down and figure out my schedule for racing this summer. I've been working out at the gym pretty regularly lately, and now I'll be getting some more miles in for skills and cardio. After looking at the schedule and given the fact that I'll be working five days a week, I think it's safe to say that I'm going to have a busy summer.

Let's see how many of these I make it to. Then, by the time it's all said and done, I will hopefully have transferred successfully to either Drexel or Penn, and I can race downhill!

I want to do this. Downhill racing, not necessarily the jackassery at the end. I really think I have it in me, and I need to do something more exciting with my life right now. I can't lose sight of this goal - I need to follow through on it.

I know that I can do anything I set my mind to. After I truly realize this, there's no stopping me.

Oh, right.

Sometimes, I look at the signature in my emails. And then sometimes, I look at it and realize that I made a blog however long ago. I'm bad at keeping up with it.

My apartment smells a little like a diner in the morning right now. My roommate's cousin and his friend are over, and they're cooking some sort of breakfast food. It actually doesn't smell all that appetizing, but I am feeling hungry. I think I'll just get donuts and coffee. No bagels though, I chipped a tooth on Monday while eating a bagel. Worst day ever man.

Moving on is the best thing for me to do right now, but that doesn't make it any easier. I just have to start by going to work and pushing forward. Listening to angry music while working out at the gym seems to work well too.
