Good evening..

I had my second bike lesson today and i must say that it went much better than the first. For starters, i dropped my bike far less than the last time and i wasn't the last to finish this time either. :)

Anyway, i learnt how to go up to 4th gear today and im pretty happy with my own performance..at least i have figured out how to stop properly now. Haha! Left leg down first before coming to a complete stop! The only problem now is how to make sure i am in the correct gear? I keep forgetting which gear am i in...too bad there's no signal or something that lets me know what gear i am in. According to my instructor, i have to learn how to listen to the machine in order to know whether to go up or down. Hm...He also said we shouldn't count which gear we are at but should depend on feeling. Tough.

Anyway, i am really happy i embarked on this learning journey. I really feel good everytime i progress. Heh. On to rock climbing next!

Tomorrow i am going to all my 4 theory lessons so i can quickly take my RTT so i can get my PDL. That way, i needn't be held back by my theory next time.

I am so happy. I really cannot aptly describe the feeling when i made my bike go..when i finally managed to figure out how to work the gears properly..when i discovered how to come to a stop without dropping my bike. Unfortunately, i still cannot put my bike on the main stand quickly. Its kinda embarassing cuz its like the most basic thing..and i really wish i could practice on someone's bike first. Unfortunately, i dunno anyone whose bike has a mainstand. Sigh.

Ahh...i am already dreaming of the day i pass. Boy, will i really feel a sense of achievement then. Oh, btw, i miscounted my bruises yesterday. i didn't have seven. I have nine instead. I find it strange that i am covered in bruises..it didn't even really hurt at that time. Oh, here's one more reason why i am so happy: I didn't get a single bruise today!! Yay!

Ok, i need to turn in now. gotta be there by 835am tomo.

Be well. :)
