Hardcore on My Huffy
I looked pretty lame riding my bike about town today.Today was the first day I rode my bike from home to school on a day when I have classes--so, there was a risk of arriving late. Fortunately, I made it in time although there was a delay. My commute is a little slower with so many pedestrians just walking all over. Because the law school sits basically isolated from the rest of the university, I forget that the school is there--and its fairly large, with a large number of students.
I got an e-mail that my class in the middle of the day is cancelled, so I took advantage of the extra hour. After my first class, I rode back home (not crowded this time), had lunch and then went to the post office. Yes, all on my bicycle. This bike trip involved a trip through the dilapidated, rundown part of town (I'm trying really hard not to say "ghetto.") Oh yeah...and there was a bridge...a big one...over the highway. To get to the post office, I had to go over the bridge, through the ghetto, and across town.
Put THAT in your backpack, DORA!
At the post office, I sent out my thank-you notes for my birthday...also a belated thank-you note where I had an internship this summer. In my defense, I had prepared a note while I was in Spain (that one even had some chocolates to go with it), but I could never find a post office that was open in that country. Then I rode back to school...on real roads this time. There were cars all around...and they could have killed me if I had fallen off the ol' bicicleta. That was intense...but I eventually made it back to school so I did some more homework.
Anyway, I should have been preparing for my business planning class. I did this instead.

Cute post. Great adventure.
I blog when I procrastinate - I think it's healthy.
Thanks for the rec on my last post.
@ZSA_MD - It certainly was. Now, if I can just get the weather to cool down a little so I don't arrive all sweaty...fall can't get here soon enough
@ElusiveWords - Good. That's what I was hoping. And, no problem...the last one deserved it.
@TutelageOfTheMundane - I don't know where you live. But the weather here in west central Illinois is extremely gorgeous. The temps are in the mid sixties to low seventies. I love this weather.
@ZSA_MD - I love that weather too! But, I live in Central Texas (halfway between Dallas and Austin). That's where are morning lows are--the highs are still climbing up to the low 90s. It's enough to sweat a little.
