Surprise, surprise... my tuesday and thursday class was cancelled once again! Out of 6 total classes that we should have had by this coming thursday, 4 have now officially been cancelled. If only this happened at WashU where I actually want my classes to be cancelled... i know its a little nerdy of me to want class here but it is only an hour and 45 minutes of my day so I might as well have it. Apparently, the teacher has other priorities though so I am not going to argue!


Today I sat in my bed till about 1, made myself brunch as I can't actually call it breakfast at that point, got back into bed to write my earlier post, and then decided if I did not get off my bed I was never going to, hence my decision to go into the city to buy nothing other than a much needed extension cord. Now, I can sit in my bed and have my computer properly charge without the cord nearly suffocating me. Definitely worth the bike ride in. 


Speaking of which, I got laughed at today while I was riding in by a Dutch woman who was crossing the street as I was trying to start riding again. As the light turned green, I began to have some footing issues which caused her to go into hysterics right in front of my face. No offense to her, but its not THAT funny... it is harder than it looks. Obviously I gave a little chuckle back but if I were in New York and it was in the car, it totally would have been a "give her the finger" situation. Like I said, it is harder than it looks. You have no idea how genuinely happy I am when I see the little green biker symbol (see below) telling me I can go since I then know once I get to the light that I don't have to do the whole lets slow down, stop, and start up again thing. The whole stopping and going thing is just so overrated. 

:) on my face when I see this in the distance. (and yes, this is actually a picture of a traffic light from a place in the Netherlands. When I first googled it I chose one that was located in Minnesota but I felt that would be a bit unauthentic to say the least.)
