And another week has started. Ew.
Two of my classes (taught by the same professor) were cancelled, so that's nice... but I just can't believe how quickly the weekend went by.
Seth came up and it was good for the most part (we got into a fight on Saturday evening :( ...but everything is better now!)... I miss him a lot already!
I can't believe classes end in less than 40 days (including weekends!!). I'm so stressed... I feel like I have SO much to do in that short amount of time. Don't get me wrong, I can't WAIT for summer... but I just hope I have enough time to get the 3590824026 things I have to do DONE. Wish me luck.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." - Carl Sagan
I can't wait for the weekend. I'm serious. This week has been crazy.
Monday night I pulled an all-nighter because I had an Anatomy and Physiology test at 8 am the next day. I didn't mean to stay up all night, really, but the 6 cups of coffee I drank at midnight didn't really give me a choice. Oops. :(
I think it was worth it though; I'll find out next week! Anyway, that day, I had a riding lesson that was pretty tough (and I'm still sore!), and as I was coming back from the lesson, a girl hit my car!!! Grr. She wasn't even paying attention while she was coming out of the parking lot, but luckily nobody was hurt. She was a real bitch to me about it (and she hit MY car...huh?), but I filed the claim and all is good. My car is still drivable, so that's good.
We had a PPHA-CC meeting today, and we had nominations for next year... Results? I'm running unopposed for President!! :) Let's hope that when it comes time for E-Team nominations, I can continue my Captain run as well! Yay!
Tonight Steve and I had a floor social where we had our residents paint ceiling tiles. It was really fun and we had about 13 people show up. Here's a picture of mine:

Love it!!
I'm just so tired... I'm glad I'm on duty this weekend so I can relax a bit!

"I am always busy, which is perhaps the chief reason why I am always well." - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Oh my... it's been awhile.
This semester has been kicking my ass. I know, it's a completely different attitude since the last time I've written, but that's what's been the issue! I have been SO busy in every aspect of my life, and I'm finally ready to catch you all up on it!
Steve and I were rudely made aware of the fact that we didn't get the apartment when, in February, I drove past the house to see a real estate sign! Our would-be landlord put his house on the market and didn't even let us know. Ridiculous. Ah, but all bad things get better, and Steve and I are living in the Ivy apartment complex next year. We will be staying in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and living room. All furnishings/utilities included, and we're VERY excited. Whew, just to have our living situation figured out is relieving enough, and check this place out - I think you would be excited too! The price isn't quite as nice as what was offered before, but I'm going to be working hard over summer to help with some of the cost.
That leads me to my next topic! Over Spring Break (which was nice, but not TOO exciting), I got a job as a caregiver with the Caring Mission. My job will be going to elderly people's homes and taking care of them for hours at a time. I know it's going to be rough, but I think it's going to be satisfying as well. I really can't wait!
Seth and I are doing GREAT. In fact, today marks the 3 month anniversary! He's such a wonderful boyfriend and I really couldn't be much more happy. He always puts a smile on my face and is truly becoming one of my best friends. I love him!
The Equestrian Team is great. You're now reading the blog of the new team Captain! Kimi - unfortunately - stepped down as Captain due to time constraints. I understand her position - she's a Bio-Chem major who is going to UMass Med. School next year! If I were her, I don't think I would have the time either... so I respect her decision, and I'm lucky to have the opportunity to lead this team! Let's hope it continues next year... We ended up only having one show this semester due to cancellations because of awful weather (Winter, I hate you.). I DID get third place at that one show though, so I was VERY happy!
Classes - like I mentioned before - aren't going wonderfully. This semester has been the hardest for sure, but it's coming to an end soon (at this point, I'm not sure if that's good or bad), and I can already hear summer calling my name!
What else... OH, another highlight of my crazy life! I saw Eve Ensler speak at SRU. For those of you who don't know, Eve Ensler is the playwright of The Vagina Monologues. Let me tell you, she is my new heroine. Everything she talked about (mainly ending violence against women worldwide) just made complete sense to me and I'm so awed by the amount of people she's influenced and in what ways she has done so. Yep, I'm definitely a fan!
My family is doing really well. I've seen them quite often and that makes me happy.
Hope all is well; I'll really try to update more!
