A couple of square meters in the end

I am officially the worst CA student ever. Instead of doing any CASB (and catching up on the outstanding weeks) this weekend, I went up to Canmore with Brehon, Wong and Stern (first names are for dorks) to bike a trail well beyond my ability and lung capacity. I bought a trail book about a month ago which was to be used to point us towards some beginner trails. Of course I forgot the book so we just went out and found a trail. The trail was awesome until we realized it went straight uphill and my lungs felt like they were bleeding. Being the giant pussy/fatass I am, I bailed on the trail and sat on Brehon’s couch until those dudes finished it. That is why you don’t see me in any of the pictures up at the top. We then went to find other trails around the town, and found the world’s coldest river. It was awesome. I looked at the book later on and found the trail we rode. It was for advanced riders and the start of it was described as a 2.67 km climb with steep sections (I wish I could remember the elevation change because it was ridiculous). That trail was an obvious choice for the first one of the year.

The rest of the weekend was spent wandering around enjoying the nice weather, and once again not doing CASB. I am not sure if it is standard for people to fall weeks behind in the program, but this module is sort of turning out like Math 110 for me. I just don’t like doing it so I drop out. I don’t really want to do that again, so to catch up I booked off a couple days next week. Hopefully the weather will be shitty so I don’t feel bad sitting inside, and can actually accomplish something.

So today being Tuesday (new album day), I feel the need for some new music. Mark hooked my up with a Strokes album, the first Coldplay cd and Keane’s cd yesterday. I don’t really know about the Keane stuff right now, but the other two are solid gold. I kinda like getting older cds that I either used to have, or had always planned on getting but never got to. I think today might be the day to get some older Elliot Smith stuff. Either that or The Decemberists’ first album. Or Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. We’ll have to see what the music store has in stock.

Keep on keeping on kids.
