Riding the bus is good. It just reminds me of how much better it is to ride a bike.

Bus trip

Sitting on a bus on my way to uvu after work because my bike got a flat tire on my commute. This resulted in having to get dad to pick me up and take me to work. It really sucks when crap like this happens.  I feel like I should be more independent when I ride. If I am going to commute by bike I need to be able to handle situations like this better. 
Also I need to get a better understanding of how the bus system works so that I can take advantage of it when my bike is out of commission like this.
I am really starting to realize that I need a working bike no matter the costs. I am so much more stable and happy when I have a bike rolling. I miss having a bike that is a joy for me to ride. I want my fixed gear wheel to get here soon!

School feels like it is falling apart on me. I don't know what I am going to do...

I have realized that a problem of mine that I seem to have is that I get overwhelmed too easily. I seem to get the most work done in a space that exists between having enough work and too much. The problem is that when I get too much work I get overwhelmed, feel like I can't do it,  therefore I don't do it. I would like to learn more effective ways of dealing with this stress in positive ways.
Maybe I should read a book.

Bridge

I am really into this picture I took of a bridge I drove over while in San Francisco.
so glad to be home and have this whole nightmare over (well it wasnt THAT bad but still its nice to be home alive)
now I just need to figure out how to pay for this whole thing. I should have enough money, but for a trip I didnt even want to go on in the first place I dont want to spend alot of money.

now I have the rest of the week to worry about.
axial myology lab quiz on Tuesday that I havent even begun to study for....

a math test and anatomy lecture quiz on Wednesday....

and the anatomy lab midterm on Saturday....

I am so not excited for this.

I really wanted to have some downtime this weekend. instead I got to sit in a car for 12 hours to drive to a wedding and then 12 more hours to drive back.
I really dislike feeling this because I feel like I should be more supportive and excited for sam. but at the end of the day I am not going to see that guy again and I have a ton of school to get caught up on.

california wedding

Spent the past two days in Oakland California for Sam's wedding.  I have been kind of dragging my feet this whole trip due to the fact I have had a ton of school work to take care of.
Been stressed about school and ha king enough time to study then on top of that taking a break to drive 13hrs out to California for a wedding.
The drive out to California went with out a problem on Friday but Saturday things quickly went down hill. We drove Jakes car out to breakfast but on the way back to the hotel Jakes car broke down. The clutch became fried (cause Jake sucks at driving manual) and unable to shift leaving us in California with obligations to meet the coming Monday.
Scott pulled through and called his dad for AAA assistance to get us towed to the nearest Honda service center. We were lucky to have the majority of the parts to fix it up but the repairs were looking like it would take longer than a day meaning we would not leave until Tuesday morning.
This caused us to rent a car for our return trip.
