Time Management

In the past, I have often claimed to be very busy at times. Those times were lies compared to now. Hence the complete disregard of this blog.

I now have a twitter. www.twitter.com/syncbot. Sinkbot was taken.

Unwarranted Self Importance

I just got caught in the rain walking home from MadHatters practice, and I found myself on a dark part of the street except for one street light, and I was totally drenched looking up sideways at the light with water running down my face, and I thought to myself, "I bet I look at least a little badass right now."

NO, FAST!!

Well, the day has come to an end, and with it ends the snowboarding season for me. Loveland last Sunday, then Copper on Monday, break day on Tuesday (thank God!), Copper again on Wednesday, and Steamboat today. Steamboat is a great mountain, but the conditions were far less than ideal. I suppose I really can't complain about the weather, since it has been almost 50 degrees with no wind every single day, but it was so warm and sunny at Steamboat that the runs were turning into waterfalls. It was like riding through mashed potatoes at times. Still, that mountain would be so sick on a powder day.

Absolutely nothing beats staying in a condo right on a mountain. The ease and accessability is so awesome. The hardest part of Colorado ski trips has always been the drive to and from the mountain. There is no need to even get in a car when you're staying on the mountain. It's totally worth the price.

I tried some park riding for the first time on Wednesday, which was actually really fun. I just did a pair of small kickers, and I was so exhilarated (surprised) that I landed it smoothly that I didn't really do much off the second one. Its incredible how much of a difference there is between a clean, well-made jump in a terrain park and a little improvised kicker on the edge of another run. The approach is flat and wide, the ramp is flat, the landing is clear and at the correct angle. It makes all the difference.

Anyway, great week of spring skiing, much better than last year. Can't wait for next spring break to come back out and do the whole thing again.

Finish Him!

3 exams in 24 hours. Way behind in publicity for the MadHatters show. A realization that I have agreed to help with more things than I can effectively make time for. A horrible sore throat, exhaustion, systemic soreness, fever, and headache. Poor results in chemistry lab. Poor score on chemisty lab report. Confirmation that I will be spending my entire summer working and sleeping for the third consecutive year. I'd say my spirit is officially broken, and it's only Tuesday.

Colorado....Colorado....Colorado....

Enviromental Law, I think...

Just finished my nvironmental Law exam. I have never felt the same way about another exam as I did about this one. The typical thing to be concerned about going into an exam is that you don't know the material as well as you should. You may have studied everything but just feel like you don't know it all by heart. This was not the case for my Environmental Law exam. I flat out did not know what this exam was going to be asking me. I didn't know the format, I didn't know what would be emphasized in class, I didn't know what we were expected to know from the readings, nothing! I didn't really feel nervous, because the material is actually very easy. It's almost laughable how little I have done for that class. And all in all, it was a pretty easy exam. Weirdest feeling ever. I guess it beats knowing the topics but being way behind in knowing the material, as is the case for my biochemistry exam. Damn, best get back to work.

Bathroom Ceiling

So Kevin, Andy, Jeff, and I were playing Starcraft last night (don't judge me, that game is sweet), and we weren't paying attention to our surroundings very closely. Tyler came home and walked to the bathroom, and noticed that there was water POURING FROM THE CEILING IN OUR BATHROOM. Literally, there was a steady stream of water pouring out of the sprinkler head, and a line of leaking plaster above the countertop. Eventually it even started leaking from the doorframe too. So we called the emergency maintenance line and they sent a guy over to check it out and try to at least stop the leaking. While we were waiting, we went to the apartment upstairs to see if there were people there whose bathroom was leaking too, or if theirs was flooded and leaking through to our ceiling. No answer at their place, but we could hear what sounded like running water. So the maintenance guy got there, and he freaked out because it was leaking harder than he expected, and he ran around and fucked with some shit, and eventually he had to go into the apartment above ours. And what does he find but a passed-out, piss-drunk d-bag laying sideways in the bathtub, which is completely full and overflowing, covering their entire bathroom floor in water, soaking most of the carpet around their bathroom, and just generally fucking shit up. Maintenance man woke him up and found out that he had passed out while trying to take a bath, and what's more, he didn't even live there.

So the end result is that the people in the apartment above us are going to have to pay for thousands of dollars worth of repairs, and they're probably going to go after this drunken bum who totally ruined half their apartment. I hope that guy's night was awesome, because he's going to be paying for it for a couple of months now. Ah, college.
