In the past, I used to quietly cheer in my heart whenever I saw people who had their exams fall on their birthdays, like the October/ November period. And I was always thankful that mine was in December. Finally, it is time for others to laugh and quietly cheer in their hearts.. because this year, my birthday week will be the exam week.. how fascinating. :) thanks to? YOG! lol. but its okay, there's always a first time.

by the way, I bought new climbing shoes! Jet 7 by 5.10 since there was no size for the Project and Team 5.10. but anyway, the Team 5.10 has a really wicked arch.. the downturn is pretty extreme and can be pretty painful if not used to it, so I might or might not have gotten it anyway. I tried to break-in the shoes today by wearing it in the house for a while. lol. when I tried it in the shop my left foot felt pain. Now I put it on at home and my right foot feels the pain. strange feet. long time no climb!

get well soon bro, we're all here for you.
