Freshman Year...

Freshman year flew by.
I made new friends..I learned ALOT about myself, and I was pushed, alot.
I took too many classes.
I ended up failing Algebra for second semester, because I needed atleast a B or higher, to pass on the final..and that didn't happen.
Which now means, my classes for next year have been rearranged. I cant take Chem, since I didn't pass Alg all the way, so I have to take pre-chem. And I have to take introduction to geo, since I didnt pass Alg.
I'm taking a Media class, instead of French next year.
I should be taking Driver's Ed as well.
This year, I got some of my worst grades, ever.
I made some incredible friends.
I made friends with some, then peeled myself away from them, because they werent really even friends to begin with.
I've cut ties with someone, I should have cut ties with, long ago.
I realize this now.

Next year will be...even more interesting.
I'll be much more settled, and more focused.

Yesterday I went horseback riding through the forest, at Sandridge.
It was beautiful.
I was taken aback, i didn't know it was that stunning, I didnt know anything like that exsisted in Illinois. I went to Robin's and Dale's, and helped pack up and get everything ready, then we met Megan out there, and we rode through the trails. Dale stayed back, and napped in the truck. I had alot of fun. I rode for a little over two hours. I got off really slowly, cause my knees had locked up, because I hadn't moved them too much, I did take my feet out of the stirrups and wiggle a bit half way through the ride, as did Megan and Robin. It was nice. I was worn out afterwards. I would deffiantly do it again.


My show is in July.
I don't know who my horse is yet, but I've got my outfit already.
My new boots came today, I ordered them in the mail, because I knew what size I'd need.
They fit like a glove, and they're lovely.
They have red, then the shaft is black, with red stiching


The teenage years are all about growth, and learning.
And I know I'm learning some good lessons.
