Assignment #44: Part VII

Write Yourself A Letter

Dear Carly,

Something really strange has been happening. A week ago Izaak was here and he wanted it to snow so i told him i would manifest that for him. We woke up to snow and Miguel, Alan, and Julia were here too and we all went sledding and built a snowman and everything was real nice but the problem is is that now there's 1/2 a foot of snow on the ground. I'm not sure if it's my fault and i'm definitely not sure how to stop it. I wouldn't be too upset, except i'm trying to fly home for Christmas in a day and all of the flights out of town are being canceled. It's okay, i heard something about Christmas miracles earlier and i'm sure that if Southwest doesn't get me home, the magic of Christmas will.

You'd be happy to hear that i'm getting tougher. No, no, really. REALLY. Today was 20 degrees (with wind chill!) and i went out in a pair of tights, a mini-skirt and a coat. Also, i was about ready to bum out for the next week or so, because everybody left real suddenly, but instead i've been keeping productive. Mostly. Kelly and i started writing an album composed of songs that you would expect to hear at a Bar Mitzvah. We call ourselves The Shixa Bar Mitzvahs, and so far we've got our R&B jam and we're working on our dance jam. We started tagging and today we bought all of our Christmas presents. Keeping busy has been okay, pretty okay, but maybe i'm still bummed a little. All of my friends are really good at leaving and i'm really good at missing people. That's fine, according to my tag, posi-lock non-stop 4 ever. Or at least something similar.

I can't get Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" out of my head.

Hey, i hear that San Diego is 70 degrees right now. That doesn't sound too bad, even though San Diego as a whole might. Chin up though, right? Plus, i've got some really good plans in the making. Maybe i won't say them, in case they don't work out. But maybe in case i forget, i'll say that they have to do with the 101 and summertime. Man, summertime. Gimme some of that.

Keep warm, keep happy, keep going,
Love,
143,
Carly

P.s. NOW IS ALL YOU HAVE.

Assignment #64

Teach Us An Exercise

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, i ride my bike to and from school. On Wednesday i ride to school, home, back to school, and back home again

Here is the route i take:

*Click picture to see whole map

Take this exercise slowly. The first three times you ride to and back are going to be the toughest. Make sure to set a pace and stick with it. It helps to look at the houses going by instead of the street signs. The way home is a steady incline spread out over 30 blocks. You're in luck though, there's a 7-11 on 20th and Hawthorne. If you can't make it all the way yet, take a Slurpee break. Also, you're probably going to run into some sickie bike jocks. They might pass you going east on the bridge, but that's fine. You'll just meet up with them when you get the the other side.

After your first week, the exercise will just become routine. Now you can work on your speed and dodging cars. You can work on yelling at drivers when they almost run you over. You can work on your conversation skills when the Hawthorne Bridge is raised and you get to sit with fellow bikers for a good ten minutes.

This exercise is sure to sculpt your calves, thighs, and arm muscles. If you're lucky, it might even work your butt. It will build up your endurance and wake you up in the morning. It will make you feel good and accomplished, it'll give you rosy cheeks.
