new [old] bike!!! :D

I am SUPER excited to announce that earlier this afternoon I purchased a gorgeous blue-green one-speed antique-ish bike at a second-hand bike shop. It took me 30 minutes to walk there and less than 10 to get back! yay! I have named her Gueneviere, (I should look up how to actually spell that,) because she is pretty. lol. And I don't care that it's a one-speed. Columbus only has one hill and that's the landfill. And I was fine biking all the way back. And lots of people in Columbus have bikes, so I'd say it's a pretty bike-friendly city, i.e. no one gets mad when bikers ride in the streets and stuff. So yeah I'm super excited. And if anything ever happens to the bike I can just take it back to the shop and they'll fix it! yay. Also, my friend Paul had an extra bike lock that he gave me so I didn't have to spend money on that.

Caroline and I have an (illegal--shh!) toaster oven now that we LOVE! The opportunity of toast for breakfast encourages one to actually have breakfast. And everything (pizza rolls, left overs, smore's and other concoctions we think up,) tastes so much better now. :)

In other news, the first round of midterms starts this week, so pray for me on Wednesday 9:30 math, Friday 11:30 physics, and the following monday at 6pm for chemistry.

The weather is beautiful! It is one of those rare fall-feeling days. :) A gentle crispy cool breeze, partly cloudy skies, and colorful leaves that crunch beneath my bike tires. <3 All of us math crazies (as Maria likes to refer to us :) ) are going over to Joe's later to make pumpkin pies! yay. Fortunately this time none of us are limited by vegan-for-a-week dares, so we will actually be using the correct type of ingredients this time lol.

Well I'm going to attempt to get some work done before the festivities begin. Till next time!

:)

Yay for new bikes! And it's funny - I named MY bike Bill because HE was pretty (jk).
I hope you enjoyed the pumpkin pie. I'm jealous. Especially non-vegan pumpkin pie! What a treat!
