Eventful
Hey there. Sorry it's been a few days since I've updated. Having some trouble typing. Turns out, last week I screwed up my ulnar nerve in my arms. The left is worse than the right by far. It keeps going all tingly, and typing aggravates it. So does riding. The doc thinks it was caused by one of the horses pulling too hard. It's messed up in 2 places: under my shoulder, and in my ring finger, so that makes sense. If it is still messed up when I get back from spring break, she said she will check to see if it may have actually been torn. I hope that's not the case. It's not too bad, most of the time, but when it kicks in it's not very pleasant. It's kind of like when you get numbed at the dentist and the feeling in your lip starts to come back. It's cold and dense and fuzzy feeling... if that makes sense. Only, it stays like that for about an hour or so each time. Argh.
Anyway, haven't been up to much the last couple of days, aside from the usual. My Course Design midterm was Monday evening, and I think I actually did pretty well. Not perfect, but probably a mid-high B. For my riding class today, I had Chester again. My instructor did inform me, though, that she is giving me another horse, Zanga, for Thursday and Tuesday. Zanga has a reputation for being a "land shark", which means he likes to make faces and try to bite everyone, haha. Apparently he is rather nice under saddle, though, which will be an incredibly welcome change from Chester. We had quite the battle today, but by the end of it we had to compromise. He may have been trotting at the speed of molasses, but at least he looked fantastic doing it.
Tonight, I went with Dragon Age Girl and another friend to see Zootopia! It was super cute and had some really funny parts. I also enjoyed the numerous references to classic movies and popular tv shows. I recommend it if you enjoy kids movies with plenty for the adults.
Anyway, my arm is tingly, so I'm going to go put some heat on it and see if that helps. Catch you later!
