today I learned about feminist literary criticism, theories of philosophically defining emotion, and the industrialization of Japan during the Meiji period. Seriously though, I haven't been up in 2 weeks (hence the bitterness and sarcasm, sorry) due to injury.. but last time I went up, I learned I should scope out runs a bit before I ride down at top speed into the death cookies.

I just learned that on Saturday as well! I landed on my feet, but it was about 15 feet past the bottom of the landind, compressed 2 of my vertebrae.

Hooray for season-ending injuries.

yea man it's pretty awful. i was so bummed out when the doctor read the x-ray and told me what happened. I'm not gonna lie, i got a bit teary-eyed. I'm in surprisingly little pain though, and i don't have to wear a brace or anything, just popping painkillers and not picking up heavy things. I compressed L1 and L2, they're the ones in the small of your back. which ones did you fracture? probably similar ones. Just be glad that nothing happened to your "C" ones, those are the ones up by your neck that cause paralysis and permanent damage.

yeah mine were a little more serious, i was so bummed too. i fractured t3 and t4, a little higher up. i think thats why they gave me the brace. i got so lucky though it could have easily been my neck.
