Failed my paper

Shocked beyond words.

I failed my paper.

My math is good, but calculating probabilities with lecturer that blabber on and on without explanation just doesn't get it to my head.

40%.

Now I have to appeal and hope for the best.

Funny, I somehow remember a friend of mine who wanted to jump off from a building because I couldn't do his assignment. Now this friend is on the way to graduation.

Vestige of the Birthday Bike.

It just had to happen.

I have been replacing parts on my bicycle until almost all of it got changed, save for the frame, suspension, lights, and the dérailleur.

Yeah. I changed a lot of stuff on the birthday bike. Changed the wheels for slicks for speed, pedals to SPDs for more power, rear rim 'cos it broke, seat post and seat for it got broken, and after that, stolen, brakepads as it wore out, front gear as it got bent, crankshaft as it got loose. And it got to the point so frustrating that I just had to do it.

I transfered my wheels, rear cassette, lights to Cheryl's bike, and threw the rest away.


There were some parts that were salvageable (seat post, seat, handlebar, stand, crankshaft), but I had to throw the rest away.

It's very sad.

Now I'm really thinking of getting a hybrid bike to get around, as Cheryl's bike frame is too small for me. Bike experts have warned that my seat post is really vulnerable to breaking into two without me knowing it.

600-1000 bucks.... saving it up...
