Every good thing has an end.

Today, watching the Olympic Openings, I was completely moved by the effort China put into everything. It was absolutely breathtaking, and at that point I just wished I was there witnessing it in person. But then my head quickly jumped to closing day, imagining all the Athletes done facing their fears and pumping that adrenaline…makes me wonder.

Oh and seeing the still pictures of people on the track, with the mood music, it makes you want to do it also. But then you remember that its not nearly as easy as it looks and that in real life theres no mood music. That is of course you go to one of Coach’s twilight meets. I love those…

Work today was whatever. Got another $360 paycheck that will go to buying Esther a birthday present and also partially to my mom to cover laptop fees (I think I still owe her $236 and the $500 that was wired to my bank account?) So after that I will officially have net positive for money!!! And I can start saving for either a really good new keyboard (piano keyboard, not keyboard keyboard lol) — or just for gas during the school year. I really want a keyboard though. I also have to save for those crazy events happening next year…like school fundraisers and stuff.

Oh and running gear. I plan to blow my money on new shoes every month or two during XC season, and also new spikes because
1) My legs need them
2) Its my last year running, might as well

Geez ok this is the culmination of talking to Jesse and Terry about motorcycles. I’m like in love with the Black Kawasaki Ninja 08. Its so l33t… though, all Kawasaki Ninjas pretty much look awesome. As long as its dark colors and has nice rims. They’re usually around $4-6k used, so if I save I can prolly get one before I go to college if I get a joy next year that pays…3x as much as this year. $36/hour? anyone think I can pull it off?

Of course you’re in this for the eye candy.

Oh today at costco, they had these $1,300 Roland electric pianos. They were really awesome. I wish I had one haha. Then again, I wish I had $1,300.
