Next year I am definately going. I never imagined I would this year. So I did not give up on it. I did not even think I would be doing nearly this many hours on this year's car. This is just a sort of introductory period for me.

Up at 7, in class until 4, in the shop till 10:45, in bed at 1:00. Not all the fun I had envisioned the program to be.

Mike is right! And not only you, Max.

I keep making my own excuses (flying).

We both need to get over it.

Life is not easy. That's why you need to have fun now.

Max, thats not logical and you know it.
Are you going to deny simple logic.
If you tried to explain suspension systems with me and I replied as you are.
You would look at me and shake your head.
Your situation is common with intellectuals.
Look around, you see it all the time.
They are all clever thinking they will work it out.
So smart they never see there was nothing to work out.
And thats why they miss it.
You are cought in the world of book knowledge.
Learning about things first, then doing.
Max, Its not like that, it requires a different way.
The doing is the learning way.

If you fly up here I'll go out to a coffee house or something like that with you. But I am a very picky eater. Plus I have been just having one (albeit large) meal a day (at night) for many years now. It is much easier to do stuff during the day when there is no need to plan for breakfast, lunch, or any of that stuff.
