It's a really long day. I woke up at 6am because I had to administer a make-up exam for two students at 7:20am. And GatorLift couldn't take me because their schedule was full of needy people, so I rode my bike to my office and walked 15 minutes to the lecture hall.

Well, I could ride my bike to the lecture hall down the hill and save the 15-minute walk but I would have a huge problem to push it back to the top of the hill. So, the exam's done anyways.

I was so worried about waking up late that I woke up several times last night having nightmares about being late for them. One time I woke up at 3:15am... They are my kids and I need to be there for them.

So when things were done, I went to the post office to pick up the parcel too big to be stuffed in my mailbox. Leanne, thank you so much for the herbal teabags. I was having so much "hot air" after the bbq with friends in the Chinese church last Saturday. So many pimples... they're extra large!

And you know, I only ride my bike like twice a week. Most of the time I had the GatorLift to take me or I just walked. But everytime when I'm on my bike, I think of you. (Sounds sweet? But this is definitely not a love letter. :D)

It's only last year you taught me to ride the bike and it was so hard. I still remember you asked me not to look at the steer. Should look in front of me on the road instead. And later you said when I can ride, I should be able to see the scenary and enjoy the ride itself...

Now, I need to add one more thing. I need to look and pay attention to the traffic! Cars, bikes and people are going from all directions around and within the campus. It's really scary especially when I don't even have much confidence to walk the stairs yet I have to be on the bike and ride.

Last Saturday I actually fell from my bike on my way back home after working in the computer laboratory for my statistics assignment. It's my right elbow and it's OK. Not yet completely healed but should be soon. So, you take care in the other end. OK?
