Wow, I haven't written since August! A lot has happend since then. Classes are extremely hard this year!! I know I'm smart, I'm in the gifted program, but this year it seems impossible the make a good grade. Homecoming was in October. For awhile I didn't think I was going to go because I was interested in a guy from another school and decided I would ask him (After I had already said no to Korey, Melvin, and Mack and they had gotten a new date) and the guy said no.. so I was like okay, guess I'm not going to homecoming.. but Stuart ended up asking me so we went as friends. Stuart acted weird the whole night.. and everybody was dancing with everyone else and he was getting all pissed off at me, even though he was dancing with other girls. But, thats okay, I had a ton of fun! Volleyball season was AWESOME! I was one of the captains, which was cool. We were such a good team though! We were 19-1 and we beat the team once that we lost to and we only lost by 2 points when they beat us. We better win states my senior year, maybe even next year. I had a lot of injuries during the season. In preseason I broke my finger/part of my hand, got pneumonia, and then halfway during the season I hurt my knee. It was nothing that I could really hurt more so I kept playing, but it hurt like a bitch ALL of the time! I played libero which I was really happy about since I'm a defensive specialist and they FINALLY got that put into our rules.. and the other night we had our banquet and I was defensive MVP. I've been hanging out with Glenvar people a lot because me and Emily started hanging out again and her boyfriend goes there. I am talking to a guy from there, but lately he has been REALLY annoying. He is always just, there... doesn't play hard to get or anything and its quite annoying. But, oh well.. haha I'm not going to worry about it, its not like we are together and its just not worth worrying about :) I showed my horse for the first time a few weekends ago. Shannon had been showing him while I couldn't ride that much because of volleyball, but after that was over I FINALLY got to show him. It was combined training.. dressage, cross country, and stadium jumping. I was really nervous for my dressage test, I was afraid I would forget it. We did okay in that, he was really looky and shyed away from some thing, but thats okay. Cross country I thought he would be great since there isn't color or anything on the jumps, which is what he usually looks and stops at, but he refused 5 times! I was soooo mad. I think I rode him too confident in him and didn't expect him to stop at stuff, so he did.. so in stadium jumping I was not about to let him stop at anything and he was absolutly wonderful! We had a clear round and he didn't look at a single thing. I didn't think overall with my dressage and cross country score I would do that great, but I ended up getting 1st. I was one of the few that actually completed the XC course or didn't get Disqualified. Today is Thanksgiving and it snowed yesterday! That was pretty exciting being that it took FOREVER to actually get cold.. but Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
