The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #151 - Finals Week
06.6.12
One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives
for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities,
and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the
encounters they find there.
It's a bike ride.
Started by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.
It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm
at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
We'll endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight).
On this bike ride, you might expect:
- inconvenient passageways
- oblique strategies
- Oulipian constraints
- disorientation
- reorientation
- "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- amateurish enthusiasm
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- karaoke
- geocaching
- full moon picnics
- traffic median tea parties
- rivers that no longer exist
- smell tourism
- Couchwick v2.0
Furthermore:
- usually 20-35 miles
- usually some hills
- a medium pace (probably not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- few stops, short stops
- but we're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light
- victory donuts!

This week:
Finals Week
Well, we're approaching the end of another fun year here at Passage
High. Our football team didn't fare so well, but the debate squad made
it to nationals! The homecoming parade was our most ambitious yet. Two
juniors made the local news for their inspired science project. Our
German department hosted a thought-provoking lecture series in the
spring. There was a controversial, but ultimately successful, campaign
to change our school mascot to "Doughy." We have some students moving
on to prestigious universities and a whole new class of fresh young
faces will be joining us before you know it.
But, before that last bell rings and you rush out into the world of
summer jobs and summer romances, it is time for one final exam. To see
if you've been paying attention. To make sure no rida is left behind.
So this week, WITH YOUR HELP, we recreate one of our former routes.
Hope you've been studying!
Middling mileage, minor hills, relaxed pace. BYO number two pencil.
