Best Time of the Year...Kinda

Starting tomorrow, midterm season officially begins for me. YAY!

I'm not especially looking forward to it, but I'm not real worried about it. Mostly I'm just tired of sitting in the library actually studying, and looking like I'm studying, so I decided to let the world know about it.

On an unrelated note, this weekend was pretty sweet. My brother came up to spend the weekend, which was fun. He's a pretty cool kid, and hopefully will be up here in school next year. Still waiting to hear on that though, should find out in like a week or so. We didn't do anything particularly awesome. By that, I mean I didn't make any big plans, but instead just went with whatever happened and hoped for the best. Ended up very well, we spent literally the entire day on a hunt for bamboo.

We drove to North Wilkesboro(about 40 minutes away) on a tip we got from our friendly Boone Bike employee. Brooks, my friend Sam, and I had driven around back roads for 3 hours already with no luck when he gave us directions to the mother lode. A short drive yielded enough mature bamboo to fill the back half of my Jetta, probably over 60 feet all told.

We did have a reason for all this. Sam's mountain bike has an epically large dent in the frame, so it is unrideable. Rather than buy a new frame, Sam decided to make one. With almost the strength of carbon fiber and the weight of aluminum, bamboo is the natural choice. I'll try and remember to put up a picture of it when/if he gets it done.

Well, back to it. Me no likey school!!! And by that, I mean the school work aspect of it.
