1) Get straight A's
2) Win the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference Overall title
3) Learn to like coffee
I won the ECCC overall conference title and also took home the gravity title, but the other two are proving to be a bit more difficult. 
I just got back from collegiate mountain bike nationals, where we took 5th in the Division I omnium, and I took a pair of top 15 finishes in the gravity events. In the process, I managed to give myself a concussion when I crashed headfirst into one of the dirt berms on the Dual Slalom course. 
This, naturally, is making goal number one a little more difficult to achieve, since I've been to one class in the last 6 school days... which I could sum up by saying that biochemistry can really make your head spin. As for goal three, most people wonder the most about that one, but it seems to me like it fits perfect with #1. It's the most economical source of caffeine (as in, it's free in the dining halls) and what college student doesn't need an economical source of the most common legal stimulant?As for everything else, I'm stoked to be heading home for a week over Thanksgiving. And I can't wait until I can think straight & ride my bikes again.
