Last week, after returning from a class trip in the UAE and Bahrain, I was hit by a huge wall of Laziness. Maybe having to be engaged and "on" socially and professionally wiped me out - I don't know. But I suddenly had little desire to do anything – unpack my bag, do laundry, go to work, clean house, and definitely not ride my bike. And a moment of terror hit, as I realized the commitment I had so excitedly jumped on.
Sometimes, it can be pretty hard to get started on new endeavors. I often dread the beginning of swim season because I simply don't want to get wet. Now, I'm dreading getting out one of my bikes because I don't want to be cold, and I dread playing with Boston traffic.
But this is all temporary. For now, I have time. I still have a ton to do to finish out my grad school degree this semester, and I imagine when the weather finally warms up, I won't be able to stand to do anything but be outside on my bike. In the meantime, I reckon I'll stick to my guns and my conviction that this is the trip for me, even if now I'm a little bit scared and nervous about the whole thing.
