Why is everyone so busy? In one sentence or less, say why. Me first: Human Physiology and Human Anatomy are killing me.

Official Poll Results:
Most of us are not injured and running. Let us rejoice!
We think that Bolt and El Guerrouj are dirty and that Big Bekele is clean. We're not sure about Seb or Geb.
Kara Goucher wears the pants. Adam carries the baby sling.
If our coach had a lesser opinion of our athletic potential than ourselves, a slim plurality of us would want him or her to let us know.
When given the choice between being the world's best and dominating runner in one distance event or ten billion dollars, we would pick the former...barely.
If we could be any Caltech runner besides ourselves, we would most likely be Ian. Garrett, Katherine, Mark, and Rosen come in second.
Four out of four voters agree: everybody should update his or her log more often. I mean, seriously.
If we could be a world-class runner in one distance event, we'd pick either the 800m, the 1500/Mile, or the Marathon. The 10000m, steeplechase, and ultra-marathon come in second.
The cross-country course at Bush's Pasture Park in Salem, Oregon is more enjoyable than those in Chino, La Mirada, and even Riverside. It's also more enjoyable than "Your Mom," but that's not a legitimate cross-country course.
Markkimarkkonnen and Billy 'Reclaimed Water' Zdon are even money for being the craziest Caltech runners.
"Ribwich" is the most under-utilized nickname for a really skinny runner. "Pork Chop" and "Bones" are pretty good, too.
Alan Webb was more disappointing than Adam Goucher at the 2008 US Olympic Trials.
The 1500/Mile is the most fun distance event to race.
Out of the entire North Field Track Club, Markimarkkonnen is the most likely to fail a gender test.
Katherine should run the 1500 - 5000 double at conferences.
Katherine should focus on the 5000m this track season, based on the Goldilocks Principle (it's juuuuust right.)
Sara Hall, or Both Ryan and Sara At The Same Time
In the past four weeks:
77% of us have consumed alcohol, 77% have used Gatorade, 55% have used Endurox R4, 44% have shaved our legs, have smoked pot and 11% have used EPO.
Tyson Gay is the best 100m runner in the world (right now).
Matt Tegenkamp is the runner most likely to break Bob Kennedy's American 5000m record.
This is a pipe. Also it is Ian's Bones (see right). I
wonder if Ian's hollow bones means he can fly like a bird.
Highway 39 (or some variation) is a totally sweet ride and is the favorite of many.
Alan Webb will get First Place (GOLD, BABY!) at the 2007 Osaka World Athletics Championship!!! (If we are wrong we suck).
This Nerd-Jock Blog is Amazingly Awesome, the best idea ever, but it borders dangerously as a huge waste of time, which is why we're on it, voting.
The Last Stage of the Tour de France is a fine tradition honoring the great acomplishments of the previous weeks' racing.

I'm busy because of cross country and fellowship applications for grad school, even though I don't even know if I want to go.
not that busy. just prefer to spend my time picking toe crud
kb - words of warning: grad school can be a big mistake unless you're totally committed and excited about it.
Thank you. I am painfully aware of that.
(and yes, I plan on taking some time off - any ideas on what I should do? I'm thinking of Teach For America, but that might be too stressful.)
Katherine, are you looking for something that is going to be helping the world, helping you, or both? There are programs out there where you can go help underpriviledged children everywhere in the world which you might want to take a look at. If that's not your thing, you could pack up a bike and ride it around America for a year. I guess either way, just do some soul searching and figure out what the next step should be.
Right now I plan on taking a year off after college. I don't know what I'll do. I sort of want to see Asia, and go live up in the mountains, or go to europe and ride bikes all day for a year. Something with a lot of isolation and a lot of time to think to myself.
join will on his bike tour 'o the west coast with bike trailer and sleeping hammock!
and i'm busy bc of catching up on work and being halfway to my grave, healthwise. oh, that and i've been obligated to watch 3-5 hours of baseball a day for the past week or so. go red sox!!!
but that's over now, so back to being grouchy about being perpetually broken or on the verge of broken.
but in all seriousness, if you're considering teach for america, you should consider working for Green Dot Public Schools :)
we need math/science teachers, AND that would mean you could do something that helps the world while staying around here to run/bike/hang out with the peeps.
