Is this blog really that good?

So I just checked my page views... 33 page views, today! Yesterday I got zero, and today, 33?! Honestly guys! I am flattered. I will be posting way more, and at least once daily, so expect more posts! I am also going to try adding more pictures to my posts, and writing longer posts.

Alaskan viewers?

I saw that I have some viewers in Alaska.. I just want to say that I am so excited to see that people in one of the most beautiful places on earth are actually reading these very words! I have always wanted to visit Alaska, but I can't afford a trip, and don't really have the time. (Excuses excuses...) I will visit it one day, and I hope that you people are doing well!

And I go back to December all the time...

It is December, as you all know. I am thinking of my loved ones that spent last Christmas laughing and having a good time, but now they will have to watch from above. I am writing down everything that I am grateful. For a chance to be part of the best thing in the world, horses. To be alive, and healthy. To have a roof over my head, food on my table, and shoes on my feet. I am also comforted that I have family that supports me through everything. I plan to spend Christmas with my family, and have a pleasant Christmas dinner. (Please note that this is a late post, and I have had it in my draft box since last month...)

Gerbils!

I don't know if I told any of you, but I have two awesome gerbils! They are around 4 years old ( That is the average life span for a gerbil ) and they are still going strong! I just introduced their wheel that has been absent for a year and a half. They are still monkeying around on it like little baby gerbs. I got them when they were a few months old, and they have grown 4-5 inches since then! I love them both to death! They are my little gerby werbies. My little muffins. My little jadey wadey and dutchy wutchy. I'm quite weird...

College...

I have been thinking college a lot lately. I think I want to go to St. Mary of the woods, but the tuition fees are $25k+... I would have to get a really scholarship, but with me playing piano, and being a decent rider, I think I might have a good chance! I sure hope so, because I really want to join this college. I am not sure what I want to major in yet though, so I have to get thinking about that...  I think I want to do something equine oriented, but I could see myself doing something along the lines of journalism, because I love to type and write. Any suggestions?

On a different note, I had a good ride today. Jumped, cantered bareback, rode all over the place outside, and plus, a bunch of friends came over and rode with me! :D

I hope everyone had a good Christmas, and is having an excellent new year! I know I certainly am... Awesome riding, getting really focused in school, and I can see myself turning into a new person, the person I so longed to be for so long...

Peace, and I hope you are having a very good new year!

There lives will never be the same...

My heart goes out to the families that are waiting in that parking lot, waiting to see if their child is one of the 18 in that class to be carried out in a plastic bag. That guy shot the teacher in the foot, but just HAD to kill those 18 innocent children. Imagine being in 7th grade or whatever grade, and having to pass that class room that your sibling might have been in, and smell blood and death. It makes me sick. When my mom told me about that, I was sitting in my kitchen. We live RIGHT across the street from a tri school ( Meaning they have all grades from preschool to 12th grade. ), and I saw that American flag in front of that school, waving like it has been ever since it's creation. It is supposed to mean freedom, pride, and strength. But now, look at this country. Children can't even receive an education without a fear of ending up like these 18 four year olds, being carried out in a bag. I cried. I cried for the parents, running towards that school to find out if their toddler is dead or fatally injured. I cried for those older siblings, who had to pass that room, and see their sibling laying on the ground, bleeding to death. I cried for the families, who have to go home tonight and see those presents underneath the Christmas tree, labeled to the kid that they will never see again. I cried, because their lives will never be the same.

Karate chopping ugh.

I have to go to Brazillian Jiu Jitsu class today... Ugh. I don't really like it, but it gets me out of school for the day. AND before we go, we are going to drive by my possible future boarding stable! Eek! *Claps like a retarded seal and does freaky happy dance* I wonder what it will be like. I have seen pictures of it, but I only saw a picture of one of the barns. It isn't anything fancy, like a TB training farm. Just a happy, nice, back yard enviroment. The barn was built like 20-30 years ago, so you can probably see where I am going here. My current trainer has the cleanest barn in all of horse barn history. If I see a little poo flake in a stall, I have to pick it up. If there is a single cobweb, I instantly dust it off, if there is a spec of dust, then I am trained to grab the duster. I dust her arena. I FRIGGIN DUST HER ARENA! So as you can see, it is a shame that I am doing pasture board. I think I would be very helpful around the barn... :) Well, I am off to start school. Bye!
