Ew. I have Anatomy and Physiology lab in 40 minutes.
It's seriously the last place I want to go to right now! This week has been superbusy, and I haven't gone to sleep before 3 am. Most of my major projects are done, so maybe I'll break the curse tonight... and I'm just exhausted!
We ended up NOT going to the Bodies exhibit - just to the Science Center. It was still a really good time, but I'm definitely going to be heading to Bodies at some point before May! Anyone up for it? We had our last horse show for the semester on Sunday at Bethany. I originally drew Abby - the same 14.2 hand Appaloosa I drew last semester - and our coach was not having it! She told the officials that I shouldn't have to be on a 14.2 hand horse, so they put me on Danni - and she's 17 hands! I did pretty well - 4th out of 6, but it was definitely my best ride at a show yet! So I was happy.
I was not so happy, however, when I got a flat tire on Sunday. Yep! I have no idea how it happened, but it did.... good news, though: I already got it fixed on Monday! Whew. Not a good time...
Don't really have much more else to say... oh, Happy 19th birthday to my little brother! Love him.

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - Albert Camus
Hello everyone.
It's Friday & I'm glad. This week - while not as busy as last week - was hectic in its own way and I'm glad it's practically over.
I registered yesterday and I'm in all of the classes I need except for one (but I'll get signed into it). I'm taking 12 credits: Anatomy and Physiology II & Lab, Biostatistics, Intro to Study of Disease, and Child and Adolescent Development. Fun, right? Hopefully it will be. I was going to take 15 credits, but I realized that after this next semester, I will only have two major courses and two minor courses left to take (one of each in each semester). So... that means I'll need two extra liberal studies in both semesters senior year... so I'm not going to take anymore classes than I need to right now!
I'm pretty sure Steve and I are going to live together next year. I'm hoping it works out, anyway. We found an apartment right across from campus that's two bedrooms, fully furnished, washer/dryer, and all utilities included. Price? $300/month. That's amazing - and cheaper than the residence halls! We are really hoping we get it... I've emailed the landlord (because it's only one apartment and not part of a complex) and he said that he'll put me down on the list of parties that are interested and let me know what's going on before winter break. There's really no reason that Steve and I shouldn't get it. We're both going to be seniors, we're both responsible, we're friendly..... so why not? Let's just hope it works out!!
Wednesday night I went to Eat n Park with Kim... it was so nice because we really haven't been able to see each other/catch up since high school! I can't believe she's a senior at GCC... but it was really great to catch up. Afterwards, I rushed to the restroom because I had about three cups of coffee, and as I rushed to take off my coat, I heard "plop." I looked down, and there was my phone. In the toilet.
Yeah.
So, Jaime and I went yesterday to Radioshack and I bought a new phone. It's pretty nice, nothing too special, but it's fine. Unfortunately, all of my numbers are gone :( So if you read this, please send me your number in some way. Thanks much!
I'm going to see the Bodies exhibit at the Carnegie Science Museum tomorrow and I can't wait. There's a lot of controversy around it, but I think it's a wonderful opportunity for the public to see what is usually only seen by medical professionals. I'll definitely write a review.
Renee took pictures of me with Hanna yesterday at the barn. I'll post one on here! My lesson on Tuesday went pretty well. I was the only one in it, so Amy put Hanna on a lunge line and I just worked without reins. It was pretty amazing. Hard, but I was able to eventually do a posting trot without holding onto the reins (or anything else at all, for that matter), and it was such an incredible feeling!
Well, I'll write more Saturday night - have a great weekend!

“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
1. Post 20 things you want to say to people.
2. Do not say who these people are.
3. Never discuss it again.
1. We've been such good friends throughout college & I'm so glad you're in my life. I know I can come to you with anything that's on my mind and you're not going to judge me for it. Thank you.
2. I've known you for years and years... and we were close growing up - especially in high school, but not as close as I wish we had been. We've had some really good times and I'm glad we still see each other every so often because I don't want to let our friendship fall apart!
3. Our friendship did fall apart. And over something very, very stupid. I think we're slowly picking up the pieces and trying to mend things... and I don't know what the future holds for us, but I'm glad we're not at the same place we were a few months ago.
4. I never thought that when we met last year that we were going to become so close... we've shared some great times and I've learned to love tea more because of you!
5. A lot of misunderstanding went on between us. I don't think you gave me a fair chance to say anything to defend myself. We haven't talked for some time now... and I don't know if we ever will. It's a shame, because I miss you. I hope you're happy nowadays.
6. You make me sick. I've never really liked you, and the fact that you're fake to the world confuses me and further makes me more disgusted. That's really all I have to say.
7. We really just met this year, but I already know you're a friend for life. We keep each other sane and help each other through rough times. You're a great person - don't change a bit.
8. You're my hero. You've gone through so much in your life, and I don't think you'll ever realize just how much I look up to you. I love you.
9. You're my biggest fan. Which in turn makes me your biggest fan. You have so much to offer the world, and I know it's all going to happen when you get a little older. I love you.
10. I absolutely had the wrong impression of you when we first met. But I love you and we always have such a good time together... even though we don't get to see each other nearly as often as we'd like!
11. You're an asshole.
12. I don't really know what happened between us. A couple of years ago, we became such good friends. And now, I barely get to see you and when I do it doesn't even seem like it's the same and it makes me sad... what happened?
13. This is to two of you. I really had high hopes for both of you, and you let me down. I feel like I can't really trust you with responsibilities and that's really frustrating. I'm glad we're friends and all, but I've learned a lot about your characters within the past few months.
14. You make me want to be a better person. I can accept criticism from you and know that it's only because you want me to excel in all that I do... and I thank you for it.
15. You've been one of my best friends since elementary school. I love how we can see each other after months and pick up right where we left off. I miss you right now, but I know I'll see you soon enough!
16. We've known each other our whole lives, practically. Sometimes I feel like we're so different, but it's very, very clear that we're very much alike! I don't get to see you all that much, but when we DO get to see each other, we have the time of our lives. I know we'll always be here for each other - love you!
17. You need to get over yourself.
18. This is another one to two people I know. You guys are awesome. I love you both a lot and I know you make each other very happy - and it makes me happy, too! I'm so glad I'm close with both of you and that we've been able to get to know each other for the past year and a half.
19. I admire you. I think you're brilliant and I've learned so much from you.... thanks!
20. We're friends. I value our friendship & I'm grateful for it.
