How angry my previous post was. I apologize for that. Well, the show went okay. I got a fourth, two fifths (or maybe one fifth and two fourths, I can't remember), a first and a second in the championship class. That was nice, the championship class had a bunch of riders from all the trot/canter devisions and I got a medal and everything. I feel like Zoey and I have definetly improved, my mistakes were made more from fear or doubt than anything. Sometimes I feel like we are going so fast because the ring is huge and the jumps are so far apart that I begin to get a little nervous and anticipate the jumps too much. I was really proud of my last jump course, the championship class, because Zoey had calmed down a lot (me thinks she was exhausted) and I didn't feel like we were flying all around. Most importantly, we got our leads right and made quick changes when we didn't. I think there were only two big spots (where we jump from too far away) and the rest were good. Anyways it was a good show and Zoey and I tried very hard. John came to the show and watched me ride and helped me around a lot, that was nice. I was kind of mean to him after recieving my fourths and fifths, but I guess I can't help getting a little upset when I do not so well. I know I am supposed to have fun out there, but that is easier said from the sidelines than done in the saddle. (p.s. I do have fun, in the ring I really enjoy myself.)
Either way, I am glad John came. Then I forced him to spend another night at my house. And I feel bad because I always do that. But I just like being around him. yeah.
School seems okay. Spanish and algebra II seems like it is going to be a pain in the butt. "Welcome to college" quote, my Standard Algebra II teacher. What a penis. Oh well, it will give me something to do, something to challenge with myself. then again, don't speak too soon young one. I think my spanish teacher is crazy, she doesn't speak english very well and has some odd ways of teaching. We were making "sounds" to congradulate fellow students on memorizing eachother's names. It was all fairly normal, shoe stomping, three beats on the desk etc. Then she had us make "Popcorn". shhh shhh shhh pop pop pop. What was she thinking?
Then in sociology we played the retard's game of "Find Crap In The Book". Thank goodness that was educational AND fun!"
arrr. poop. I don't want to do all this math homework i have. I kind of just want to sleep some more. I practically slept all day.
