DAY ONE

school was alright, went quick- AP Lit this morning, free block that i used to talk to my college counselor, then advanced creative writing, so that was beautiful.

THEN I RAN 5 MILES TODAY. and i ran the second half in a shorter time than i did the first half. total was about 45.29 or so. i felt so fucking fantastic afterwards, it was just ( Read more... )

it really is about the dressage.

im still an awful person. but it is about the dressage.

i need a new mindset. today sort of helped. but i still feel like shit. i dont deserve a horse like mine. but apparently someone thinks i do.

today has been a very good day. very good indeed. Had a very productive lesson with Amie, one of the best I've had in a long time. Then had an awesome time at Spring Fling, and to boot, had a sweet ride to get there too. :) bf's dad caved and let him drive the Mustang. :D ( Read more... )
