More on My Classes

Horse Care Practicum:

Every day. Early. Basically like going to zero hour again. Each of the students are in charge 2 horses each. We are in charge of two horses, their stalls, a weekly heath evaluation, their turnout. Cleaning the stalls are actually really challenging. The LEC standard are really high, so we cannot leave a tiny clump of something, and have to sift EVERYTHING in the stall. Its made things stressful because its taking longer than I have time for and my classes after are really soon after and working with the van schedule had proved to be difficult. It also has been resulting in sore arms and shoulders and blisters, but its turning me into a tough horse girl which is what I want i guess. Its slowly getting better, though the class will always be fairly intense.

Riding Skills II:

FUN! I GET TO RIDE! Need i say more? I'm riding a horse thats a bit more speedy than mine so I had to be the boss, but my instructor seemed to think I was doing pretty well.

Honors Bio:

So far so good. I really like the teacher and she has made things interesting so far. Not too yet, at least not for now.

Entrepreneurship 201:

Pretty cool! The teacher is really awesome! Really funny and entertaining and very good at communicating. The textbook is a bit hard to read and takes time, but I only have to read a chapter a week (along with other assignments) but I don't think it will be too bad, if I dont let my work build up.

Honors English:

Alright for now, but has the potential to get intense. I have approximately 10 novels sitting on my shelf right now (one 998 pages) waiting to be read. But the papers and assignments are easier than the 10 page papers of my senior year ap english class.

Overall, I'm doing alright. A little stressed with my tight schedule. I don't get to go to the cafeteria for lunch, so I am arranging to pick up sack lunches. Catching the van is hard after my horse care class and riding class because you have to clean up and untack and stuff. Once I get the feel for things I think that it will get better!

Love you and Miss you all!!!!

First Day of Classes

I have been having a lot of fun with my new friends. Its nice to have people to hang out with, but I for sure really miss home and everyone there a whole lot. I've had several people who have been there for me over the phone and via texting and so that has helped some. Thank you, you know who you are.

Today I started my classes. I have a pretty full days Monday and Wednesday. I also had a meeting for the riding team today. So things are speeding up. I hope to give more details on my classes here soon, but I have an early class in the morning. I just wanted to give a quick update. I should have time tomorrow to post more, but no promises. Love you!

Moving In

Hey everyone!!! I miss you all so very much! I am now settled into my dorm room and actually have a place for everything. haha. I'm doing pretty well. I'm definatly still adjusting to my life here and appriciate any prayers.

My first few days here not many people were moved in yet so there wasn't much to do or many people to get to know. I had my convocation ceremony yesterday (Wed) and all the other Freshman arrived. At first I felt like the only thing I heard people talking about was drinking and it made me really uncomfortable and homesick because I have a hard time when people make drinking such a priority. However today at lunch I met a few friends that don't have any interesting in drinking, like me, and I have been having fun with them. It has been great.

I miss all of you so so so so so so so much!!!! I'll be posting my address here soon!
