Done!

First semester of college done, hooray!! Let me just say that everything you hear in high school that college is way easier then all those AP classes, it's a lie! My first semester was the hardest I ever worked for school. In high school I had straight A's for every class and the work load I thought was a lot, boy I had no clue when I got into college. Every night I did work and studied for all the classes. And the sad part it is just the beginning. But I think I just needed to get adjusted to the schedule and the method of studying. So hopefully next semester will be less stressful, ha sure... I am really proud of myself though : ) Now the exciting part, more than a month off! Thank goodness for that. It makes sense to me, work hard for three months and then you get a well deserved long break. So I survived and it's just going to keep on getting funnier, that was sarcastic ; )

So hows the pony doing now, well he's really the same. I rode him the other after finishing my last exam and getting home. He was actually really good. I set up "scary" jumps and he paid no attention. I am trying to plan to do some clinics/lessons over my break so I can keep improving my riding and Sam. We will see what comes up. Because I have so much free time now, I am going to barn to help out all here and there. Since the barn owner does so much for me, I am more than willing to help out when I can!

When I was driving home from school I stopped by our local library to grab some books! I love to read and during school I feel my brain can't keep all the story details and equations for chemistry at once. So reading for pleasure is put on the back burner till break! So I got a couple of books which I am excited to read, yay! My reading tastes have slowly changed to books more about bibliographies and such. I find it really interesting to read other people's opinions and the stories of there lives. In addition currently I am completely drawn into reading the classics, such as Crime and Punishments and Vanity Fair. I love walking into the library, you are surrounded by so many books that it's such a homey feeling. Reading I think is the best way to escape your current situation or just unwind. When I read a book I enjoy, I feel as if I am catapulted into the book and watch the story play out as watching a movie. It a fantastic feeling! Well I do have a busy week in front of me so if I don't get to write, Merry Christmas : )
