lessons learned
No buyer's remorse in sight, i'm still happy I dropped my loot on an MD. Doing so actually helped me to understand that although some purchases are not practical, they are still somehow necessary.

I was able to put it to good use in the darkroom today. It was definitely nice to have music around for a couple hours in the dark while waiting for photo paper to finish sitting in chemicals. I had to keep myself from busting out some moves when it got to the Justin Timberlake group on my disk. go figure.

Yes Devan
This morning i was up at 6:02am to go to the RSF to lift before my cycling class at 8:00am taught by (tall gay) Devan. Why so early? I have to reserve a bike by 7:00am or else there aren't any left. Anyway, so class was super hard today. It was difficult to answer our cycling instructor's questions like "Are ya'll working hard?" to which we replied in heaving chorus "Yes Devan".

We did endurance work and I was pretty close to feeling like passing out. It took a lot longer than usual for me to recover. On top of that, the girl on the bike next to me had been road biking for a year (i talked to her last class), so in my head I was competing with her throughout the class, trying to match or exceed her cadence. I think she beat me, but i got a great workout from it.
