You guessed it ! Nothing exciting happening in this neck of the woods. Chris and I graduated with our Bachelors (me in Music and Chris in Economics) this last weekend. It was fun and exciting, and thoroughly a let down. Graduating is so anti-climactic. Seriously…it’s like…you’ve worked how ever many years for this degree, and then you walk across the stage in a cheap (quality – not $$$) black gown and get a holder for your degree. You don’t actually get the degree because they don’t send those out till they verify that you’re legit. hmmm…. I don’t now how I would make it more climactic…but something needs to happen. Fireworks maybe? Or…something. Dunno…
Anyway, so I’m officially done with college. Hoorah! Now, more time for bike racing…I mean…finding a job???? I’m so excited that this is such an excellent time for job searching. I mean, jobs are in abundance right? I should have no problem! Actually, I have been searching for a job for the past 6 months…so if anyone is reading this and would like to inform me of an absolutely wonderful job where I could actually use my talents and/or skills, that would be superb! I think Chris is better off on the job search, considering he recently obtained his USA cycling coaching license as well as his Bachelors in Econ. I think a lot more people are paying attention to economists than to musicians at this point. Maybe if it were the other way around this economy wouldn’t be in the state it’s in!!!! (no offense Chris – or any other really good economists out there)…but seriously, maybe if we had a group of musicians running the nation, we wouldn’t be in this mess! (please no political comments or any of the like…I’m just flapping my lips in the wind).
Anyway, that’s about it. Due to family visitation and other graduation hoolabaloo I haven’t been riding much. Thank goodness last week was a rest week anyway…but still, I should be riding more or harder or something. I feel my lazy body is losing fitness as we speak. Big race this weekend – Elkhorn Stage Race in Baker City, OR. Should be a good one with lots of women! That’s exciting! I’m just looking forward to the TT and the crit. Fun times! Hopefully my little legs will wake up enough to get me up and over the hills in the rest of the race.
Well, time to sleep and try to work out some knots in my back. It’s been a beast lately.
