Bike Model?

I also got some pics that Karen, my roommate took of me riding my bike in the park to use as examples of how to manipulate shutter speed to blur the background, but not the subject and vice versa....pretty cool stuff, for a couple I was skidding on my fixed gear bicycle, hence the leaning forward.... see a couple below, the rest are in an album, here....

Social Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity

I had a great weekend of fun and schoolwork. I watched a couple of 6th grade football games at City Park and asked parents on the sidelines to take a minute or to to fill out a questionnaire I came up with. Then took another GREAT nap in a hammock in my neighbors yard. Just on the other side of the fence in our backyard there are two great pine trees. Between them is an authentic Jamaican hammock that one of the three sophomore girls purchased on some sort of spring break trip. Regardless of who owns it or where it came from, I love the view up between the trees and watching the wild red squirrels jump from limb to limb.

Then I got ready to go to one of my professor's house in Denver for a Social Psych. dinner. Before I could meet up with another couple to carpool, I had to complete the final touches of the dessert I would be bringing. I made "Friendship Bars" that my roommate in NYC made and gave me the recipe but I decided to add some melted white chocolate over the top.

We had a great time and I learned a lot from the PhD students who are experiencing the woes of funding and TA/GA positions. All in all it was very fun to get to know academics personally. The weekend also brought some work to be done, but the dinner party has started to get me
excited about the program I am in, Sport Pscyhology in general, and the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) Conference I will be attending this week in Louisville, KY.

In addition to the amazing Keynotes, presentations and speakers, I really enjoyed the networking aspect of the AASP conference last year in Miami, where I made a bunch of great friends, in various sectors of the field. It's also the only place to mingle with the Dr.'s that wrote all of my textbooks....one day...one day....Last year I roomed with a Swedish guy I didnt know named Frederick, and a good ole' boy from Alabama named Patrick, who I still keep in touch with and had heaps of fun with...(along with out English and Scotish "Tobacco Road" crew...talk about adventure...

After 3 days in Louisville, I am off to Orlando, to join Liza for her sister Carolina's wedding, which I am also looking forward to, mostly to see Liza (it's been almost a month and a half) but also for the wedding and to see her family together.

This week is definitely going to be an adventure...
