Thats one class.

+2 jobs

+4 more classes

+trying to maintain some semblence of a social/recreational life.

I hate college.

The only upside(maybe?) is that I have seen at least a dozen kind of neat bikes on campus I have never seen before. Most of which are brakeless fixed gear conversions with one piece cranks and no toe clips BUT they do have pretty, bright colored rims.

I am tired, bitter, and I have to go to work. See you tomorrow.
