Bah...feeling super lazy...I went for a nap around 9:30pm last night and I woke up at 2:30am. Still tired, I went back to sleep and woke up at 11:40am. How the hell did I possibly sleep for a near consecutive 14 hours?!?
I think I'm coming down with a bad cold, I can feel it in my chest...Must...resist...sickness...
Went to my orientation yesterday just to figure out how stuff works and it's super easy. Basically I just learned how to use the computer which took about 3 minutes and runs as follows: member comes in, signs name, I look up last name and click on the check mark. Yep, pretty easy...I start tomorrow.
So I went out for a bikeride yesterday and headed for the path along the river. As I approached the path I see a couple walking away from it towards the parking lot, flailing their arms around their faces and waving around as if they'd just walked into a wasp's nest. Strange...So I head for the path and as soon as I get on it BAM, a huuuge swarm of bugs hits me in the face, I can FEEL them coming in through the holes of my helmet. So at this point my head is down, my eyes are closed, and I'm probably steering like a maniac trying to combat the distraction. Good, great, so I peddle a litlte faster and I'm outta there. Wrong. For the next 100m or so it's continuously like this, my sweater is speckled with little tiny bugs. It was insane, --no no-- ridiculous, I couldn't believe it. So I threw away the river path idea and headed for the street. Got to explore a litlte bit of the area, but I'm still nervous about the city biking...It's not so much about the cars driving beside you, but it's the parked cars. They're everywhere on both sides of the street, people getting in and out; getting "doored", as it's called, is not too uncommon...
Well back to this lazy rainy day of mine...Going to write and mail some letters today, as it's the occasional thing I do...
