Now I'm just poor...not a poor college student

Well...after four years at Purdue University, I'm a college graduate. The full magnitude of what I have accomplished never really hit me until I was on stage looking at my name on the big screen just before I received my diploma. That's when it hit me that all of the work and late nights I had gone through were finally paying off. Even better than that, I realized that never again will I have to do math homework, or B.S. an essay about some obscure topic of philosophy, or pull an all-nighter to hopefully pull off a miracle on an exam that I was no where near ready for. It's a huge sense of relief and accomplishment to have completed my undergraduate career.

The only downside to all of this is that I haven't secured a job yet...which means that I'm making the transition from being a well respected, unemployed, struggling college student to a dead-beat, unemployed poor person. Should be an interesting year ;)

In cycling news....Morgan-Monroe appears to not be happening, so my next race will be on June 6th up in Fishers, IN...the Indiana Road Race Championships. This race is a huge target for Sustainable Cycling, so all of our riders are expecting to be in fantastic shape to hopefully get Crispy the win in his backyard. 

I'm back down at my parents house for the week for a mini vacation and the weather looks like it will be dandy all week long. That means lots of miles put into the legs and perfecting the tan-lines.
