Single White Female, Age 25, seeks single male bike mechanic, age 23-29 for romantic relationship involving bicycle rides, free bicycle repairs/ routine maintenance, and occasional hand holding. Free bicycle repairs/ routine maintenance will be rewarded with hugs and a possible high five (for major repairs). Beards not required but appreciated. Interested males feel free to send a message.
I'm pondering putting out a personal ad with the above, mainly to find cheap bike maintenance, because I'm terrible at it. Tonight I decided to finally clean my bike, and I thought I would attempt to fix my gear problem, since I was working on it, but that ended up taking a whole lot longer than I was anticipating. I also ended up making it worse than it was in the process, so I'm going to take it to the shop tomorrow to hopefully get it fixed (for cheap). I did learn how to take off a front derailer in the process though, and that was pretty cool to actually figure out how to put it back on properly afterwards. The whole thing reminded me of a story from the trip. I was cleaning my bike one night, and I took apart my cassette to clean it thoroughly (the gunk that was built up in it was impressive). I had my friend Adam from the trip show me how to do it, but I apparently misheard him on how to put it back on properly. Needless to say, the next morning, we are heading out of the town we were staying in, and my bike starting making a really weird noise. Luckily I started towards the front of the pack, and Steve stopped to help out, because my cassette was literally falling apart on my bike. We had the van stop to get the tools, and Steve fixed it right up for me. I was lucky to have good bike mechanics around, because I would have spent a lot keeping my bike maintained without them. This is why I've decided to seek out a bike mechanic boyfriend, because not only would I be able to learn about/ receive free bike maintenance, I would also be able to hopefully end up in a good relationship as well. We'll see how it goes.
Besides bike stuff, I decided to kick my butt at the gym after my tests today. I did 3.5ish miles on the treadmill in about 43ish minutes. Not too shabby in my book, since I haven't run since the Dayton Peace Accords 5k a week and a half ago. I also did a full body workout with the weights as well, so hopefully I'm not regretting this decision tomorrow.
The Bio tests today were interesting. I'm not sure how well I did on my lecture test, though apparently everyone thought it was really hard. I didn't think it was so much "hard", as it was confusing. Since this class isn't really going to help me once I transfer to MUM, I've kind of lost motivation to do well in the class, though I'm still going to go, because I find it interesting. The lab practical in the afternoon was awful though. I apparently didn't understand what they were asking us to study, and thus I wasn't sure about a lot of answers. I got my lab report done though, so hopefully that will help keep my lab grade up. I guess I secretly want to still do well, but I don't want to have to work hard to do so. I guess taking a less stressful approach to it isn't a bad idea... I'll have enough to worry about in the Fall when I'm trying to finish up my last year of credits for the Bachelors. It will be so nice to be done!
