So I applied to graduate school a week ago today. As part of my application packet, I have to write a personal statement about my goals and aspirations. I am suffering from a terrible case of writer's block. I guess that may explain the lack of blog posts lately as well. I know what I want to say, and what I want to do; but I just can't seem to get it down on paper. I'm getting stressed out about it because I really want to get into this program, so I have to make it sound good. I've written down several things, some of which I like. Now I guess I should just figure out how to mesh it into one document and hope that it isn't too long. I need to hook the reader then not let them lose interest.
Meanwhile, my undiagnosed attention deficit is kicking in. I've been "shopping" and "researching" for stuff for a secret. I've wanted to update my calendar book for days. I did finish all the major Christmas shopping, but nothing is wrapped. I want to take my dog for a walk or playtime. Work has driven me to want to take up alcholism and forget the gym - I actually cancelled a training session this week out of fear that I would be rude and/or hurt someone or something.
There is my delimma in a nutshell. I think the other part of my problem is my lack of bike riding time. I rode a week ago Monday for my birthday. I had the day off and that's what I wanted to do. It was only the 2nd time since Thanksgiving that I've gotten to ride. I have decided that barring snow or extremely wet weather Saturday, that I am going to go ride Sunday if I have to wear every pair of bike tights I have, six jerseys and five pairs of socks. I need my solitude on two wheels.
Ok now back to trying to express myself...

Congrats on the application. What will you be studying?
Writing apps is difficult. Never enjoy doing that. Good luck!
Hope you can get out and ride soon. Wishing I could do the same but temps seem to be sticking in the teens at night of late. I am not brave enough to deal with that!
