I am so happy; I feel so relieved. I can finally put it all aside and know things are going to go my way with as little pain as possible.
School was good today. It seems a lot easier now that my research paper is done. I also got all the stuff for applying for AP English next year squared away, and I feel confident about that too, at least at this point.
Today I was talking to Tina after work and she told me it was her daughter, Abby's first day of ballet. Abby reminds me so much of what I would have been at 4 years old, if could remember. I remembered I started ballet when I was 4, and I was a reindeer in the Nutcracker. I also have a very special connection from that time and horses, because it was one day when I was coming home from ballet that my mom asked, "What are you thinking about?" and I told her horses. She said, "Well, there's a barn right here!" and she pulled into the parking lot. That was the start of my life that still continues at Walnut Hill. It's hard to believe I've been doing this for such a long time, and I am still just as interested. One mother at the barn was thinking about leasing a horse for her girl, but she was apprehensive. She said, "I know she loves it now, but I know that a lot of girls grow out of it." and I told her, "only some girls do."
