The Wait is Agonizing!

All morning long I have been waiting to find out if we got accepted into LOTOJA.  It has been brutal.  They were supposed to notify all the cyclist with either a yes or a no, no latter than yesterday.  Turns out that pretty much no one has been notified and I am guessing it has something to do with the fact that their website has been down for several days now.

On top of the agony of not knowing...I have my very last final exam this afternoon.  This is not a good day for two fates to collide.  In my scrambling to search on the Internet what is going on with the entry announcements I came across a fellow roadies blog post lamenting his concerns about not having been notified yet.  I think he describes the feeling that many of us are feeling right now not knowing!

LOTOJA Announcement Sorta Like Christmas

Dang, is this a reality? Do these things really happen?

It feels like I am a kid looking forward to Christmas morning for weeks, 
only to wake up and find that Santa didn’t come 
(no announcement when promised no later than May 3^rd).

I go to ask my parents and they are not in their beds 
(web site is down)

I go outside to see what is going on and I don’t see any other cars out on the road 
(Google search what’s the deal LOTOJA no information)

I wonder around through the neighborhood and finally hear a lot of commotion 

(Facebook LOTOJA Fanpage) as I get closer I hear all the other kids all huddled 

together (comments from Facebook) asking the same questions 

with no adult supervision (no official response from LOTOJA)

Worst Christmas Ever….

Santa (LOTOJA proper) better be bringing a really big present to make up for this……


Mental Anguish

Basically I have spent all day checking my email, Facebook, and twitter 
every 5 minutes to find out what is going on with entries...
the two hours allotted for my exam is going to be brutal!
