A longboard and a school system
Hi ๐ you're reading a pretty old post! I started writing on here back in high school and this page may not reflect my current views. Recommend checking out related articles and categories down below, I've likely published more recent thoughts on this topic.
Coming back from the US I was left completely without means of transport. My rollerblades' last allowed wheel died over there so I was left with a cumulative three working wheels for the whole set. You need at least four.
Right before I left for the US my driver's licence expired and I need to go see the doctor before I can get a new one - because of exams I simply couldn't be bothered with that yet.
And I haven't had a bike ever since I retired the last one after twice its value went into repairs (I'm kind of hard on bikes).
So today I borrowed a longboard from @zidarsk8 ... well I say a longboard, but it's really the longboard because he doesn't really have any other. Really cool of him to let me borrow it for a week, two, three!
Today I survived my first ride from college to home and I have to say despite nearly getting mowed down by a car a couple of times and some bruised pedestrians it went pretty well. Those things are super fun and if I can get a hang of it I might buy one of my own instead of a set of rollerblades, because it means I wouldn't have to keep lugging my shoes around ... we'll see, rollerblading is kind of super fun though ...
Oh and today I discovered that I flunked one too many exams, this likely means I won't be able to get into the next year of my course and instead of being just before graduating from a masters equivalent in a year, I will be graduating from a bachelors in computer science.
But this isn't over yet, school system! I won't go down without a fight!
