Georgia on my mind

For the past 5 days I have been riding up and down the Appalachian mountains of Georgia with a couple of cool guys from the U of G Cycling team. Its has been awesome, and really tough at some points.

The 16 hour car ride down here also had some interesting moments, but hey, what can you expect when driving through Kentucky? We had to stop a Waffle House because we saw a sign every 2 minutes, I just sucked it up and and ate a gluten filled pecan and chocolate chip waffle for $3.75. We also could not resist stopping at an outlet mall...why is everything so cheap in  America? We also saw caught up to an other car filled with Ontario university students, and of course we exchanged phone numbers through car windows while having a duel between which car could pull the best window stunt. They won...and there was some bare bottoms involved.

The hostel we are staying at is too nice to be called a hostel. It is honestly better than almost any hotel, and probably better than my dorm room. They also feed you the best breakfast on earth. Its awesome, and all for $17 a night!!

On top of Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. 

I have also come to the conclusion of why so many people in America are overweight....chocolate bars are 50 cents, and junk food is so cheep that it makes perfect, logical sense to buy it. We can't resist buying chocolate bars every time to we go to Walmart...which is every day.

flex it.

I can almost flex my right foot at much as my left foot now! Who would of thought physio could actually help! Small victories are worth every cent of effort that you put into it.

The Obvious

Why are some professors so horribly mean? Honestly, I don't understand. Sorry that I can't make my medical condition go away, sorry I can't control when my appointments and tests are. I thought people would be more fair in university, that they would take into account people's situations. Is getting electrocuted for an hour not reasons for "compassionate grounds?" If you have never been sick, then I can see why you wouldn't get it, but losing 5% of my mark because I physically can't be in two places at once just doesn't make sense. Trust me, I would much rather sit through the horribly ridiculous 1070 seminars than have needles stuck in my muscle with electric current flowing through them. Isn't that obvious?
