It's a little stressful actually because, for some reason, I don't know why it got to this, but I feel extremely unprepared to begin this semester. My schedule is all wonky. I'm attempting to commute to campus via bike. Motorbike? I wish. More like bicycle. Yeah. Why? Because apparently, even though I swear I saved/registered for parking back in May for 2011-2012 campus parking permits, I didn't fucking get one so I got back on the wait list sometime in mid-July and I've been pushed farther and FARTHER back on the damn thing even though I'm technically a senior by year-time/hour count(?) so I said "FUCK IT I'M BIKING TO SCHOOL, BITCHES." However I'm trying to figure out how to combat 1) Stupid Georgia humidity 2) when it rains 3) when it gets freezing cold later 4) that stupid fucking hill right before my apartment complex. Biking to campus isn't that bad. It's coming home that'll be a pain in the ass. I'll have buns, quads, and calves of goddamn steel in a month or two if I can keep this up.
Anyways I figured at least for the heat and humidity I can pack and extra shirt and towel, no big deal. Plus once I re-establish what pathetic cardio I used to have I won't sweat so much and it'll make the commute a little better. Also: how much I carry. Weight's gonna be a factor when I bike to and from campus. I'll probably have to stop packing Leeroy. But that's ok, because I have Sebastian now! And if I need a computer, I'll just go to the student center or library etc. Lookit me, trying to be resourceful.
Then biking in the cold can also be tricky particularly because of the extra layers I'd be wearing. It constricts movement a lot. And it can also be a little sweaty, and sweating under a sweater+peacoat etc isn't pleasant.
...basically, I GUESS this means I'll have to buy one of the remaining, available parking permits that's on a rather inconvenient location (try the very edge of the campus) but hey, at least I'll have a method when the sky pisses rain or when it's freezing over.
Maybe I'll just print this out and tape it to my bike to remind myself the benefits of a bicycle commute. Hah!
Meanwhile, it's good to be back, if at least for dancing! Stoked to start going to practices and learning new shit. Hellz yeah. I'm also beginning to discover 3 hours of straight dancing is my limit (as of now). My energy really starts to flag by the last half hour or so. Fun stuff.
Last night, I went with the Athens Swing group to the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert. The publicist for the concert contacted a bunch of dance groups in Atlanta and Athens and offered free tickets to people who wanted to come out and dance at the event. What a deal! Funny thing is I first heard about this concert back in May or so and I was excited because 1)BBVD is a kick-ass swing band 2) I thought, "Man! How awesome would it be if at this concert people started getting up and dancing in the aisles! But too bad I don't really know anyone around well enough to go to this kind of concert and dance..." But lo and behold, people were assembling! And tickets were free! It was like 6 kinds of awesome. I don't even know what those 6 kinds are, but that's ok. The concert was great. BBVD was kind of hosted by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra which was cool too. Somewhere on that stage, my former violin teacher was playing. Nice.
With this being my last year and all, I'm also starting to get this fear that I haven't accomplished everything I wanted to do in college. Gonna put together a bucket list and hope everything gets done by the time I graduate. To be continued...
And lastly, this made me 'lol.
