Slightly Longer Absence

Today was XC Nats and I'm dead tired but can't sleep because of the coffee I drank on the way home.  Didn't stay late but... never mind.  Not important right now.

So I haven't written in a very long time.  I'll try to sum up my crazy semester with a few short sentences about each part of my life.

School
Sucks.  Why the hell did I ever want to be a biology major?  Oh yea, because I want to be a doctor and help kids.  Not sure how many times I've actually said that this semester with organic chem, microbiology, and trying to run too.  I did get the LOTR books done though.  Whatever on to running.

Running
Craziness.  I had a pretty good season this year in cross.  Should have done better in my summer training.  That will probably improve things more than anything, but I can't change the past.  All I can do is look forward, train like a devil this winter, and keep getting faster.  Oh yea, the guys got 10th today by the way.

Biking
Not much has happened here.  My computer stopped working for some reason and I haven't gotten that fixed yet.  I did get a new saddle.  It's really nice.  Haven't had much time to ride since school's been in session though.  Hopefully Summer comes soon so I can get some quality time in with my baby.

People
Undecided.  Not sure if I like living with people in my life right now or not.  Some of them are awesome and I love them to death (not even trying to be sappy).  And then there are the others... Too much to go into for just the few sentences right now.  Maybe later.

• Sub-category: Girls  This one needs some special attention.  Although I'm sure none of them who pertain to this will read it, the girls in my life are confusing.  And crazy.  And great friends.  And gorgeous.  And stunning.  And some have no clue how much they mean.  And others think they mean too much.

Family
Although I love my family (more than immediate here), they have SO many problems it's not even funny.  Can't even imagine the series of books I could write about them.  Maybe I will.  But seriously now.  My family's been through a lot since I wrote last.  Gran's in a nursing home now, problems with estates, fighting about estates, and the ever popular drunken get togethers.  I've got them till they die though so what am I to do.

I guess that pretty much wraps it up.  I've got finals coming up and a couple projects that have to be done on Monday that I really haven't started on (it's 1:30 on Sunday morning), so I should probably get to bed.  I think I'm going to be really dumb tomorrow and just start running and just keep going till I get tired.  In between working on those projects of course.




Christmas Break,

Please come soon.  You have no clue how much it would mean to me if you came sooner than I would have expected (the 17th of December).  I really want some time to just read and work on my novel.  It needs some work and it's been over a year since it's gotten any attention.

Thanks, your friend,
Matt
