I spent most of the day cycling up the coast on a 55.0 Mile bike ride. There were a little over 15 riders and we finished just a little before 12 pm, making it a very fast 4-hour ride. I kept up front and felt confident about my strength, which was mostly due to last quarter’s spin classes. I am readjusting quite well. Better, in fact, than last quarter, where I was a part of 4 bible studies, 6 clubs, (Toastmaster, robotics, SME, Super Miler, Wheelman, and intramural sports ) and taking night classes! To say the least, I was under a lot of pressure.
After taking three weeks off for an exciting Christmas break, I came back ready for more action. But now, fully aware of my own personal limits (sarcasm is one of the many free services I offer) I decided to stick with two simple ideals.
1) 1) Only spend time meeting new people, if I have already spent quality time with my present “friends”.
2) 2) Stick with no more then 3 club/activities. EG: Sailing, Road Biking, and 1 Bible study.
These simple yet life-altering methods to staying alive are what I have found to be important. I hope to spend more time getting good grades, building relationships with good friends, and developing a good character.

I guess I beat Dad to this one! Well, since I am first, maybe Dad should wait a couple more weeks and come later in February...
