I love what I'm doing day #197

Dear Diary,

I am exhausted. I have been studying everyday from 7 am-11 pm for as long as I can remember (Which apparently means my memory stopped working about January 3rd). I have two finals left before the end of first year.

In 36 hours, it will all be over.

This has been the hardest thing I have ever done. Which means that this is harder than taking 20 credits of upper level undergrad education while studying for the MCAT and recovering from a career ending injury and still holding down a 40 hours a week detective desk job. Or, its's harder than riding a mountain bike unsupported from Banff, Canada to the US/Mexico border through wind, rain, knee deep snow, lightning, 115 degree heat, and 20+ hour days on the bike. Or, it's harder than having a gang-banger point a gun at you that is so close to your face you can actually see the 9mm bullet at the other end of the barrel, keeping your act together, and fighting your way out of the situation.

I'm not sure whether or not it's harder than the Colorado Trail Race.... That will remain to be seen after this summer.
