No more acceleration?
Tonight’s events: Something spooked a horse I was riding, it bolted, ran straight for a wall, then veered left and out a door at an angle, where I was then thrown and my leg got crushed between the horse and the door corner/wall as I fell. No fracture, just super unhappy soft tissue/bone bruising. Major […]

Acceleration
Heeey there. Been a while. I know. My bad. Forgive me? Okay. The past two weeks have kind of been scheduling insanity. I know this, because I found myself using the phrase “I have scheduled relaxation time” today. Does that even make sense? If I’m not in class, I’m working. If I’m not working, I’m […]

What kind of fuel are you using?

What day is it?
Yesss I realize I skipped a week… forgive me. I’ve had a busy two weeks, as usual. Classes wrapped up this week and am now in full blown study (procrastinate) mode. I’ve realised thought that preparing for exams is a lot easier when you’ve studied consistently throughout the term. No panicked cramming for this kid. […]

Making a suppressed rider happy
I’m realizing it’s not actually that long since I wrote last. And that this is going to be my second post today. And third this week. Awhaaa? I guess I’ll keep it short then! Thursday I got to ride my old friend Sonny at Horse Connection, and our intention that morning was “Patience”. Definitely something […]

Am I done yet?
Just kidding, I love school. Most of the time. Sort of? Ask me again when I’ve recovered from midterms. It’s been one thing after another, as usual, this week. Between midterms, my car breaking down, and then being fixed, but actually not being fixed and breaking down again, not getting to work, taking two too […]

My week in pictures (and some words)
Because it’s the middle of midterm season and I am still working on a legit post for you I’ll give you a quick run down of my week in mostly pictures, and some brief words! Monday: Leaves and pizza. Not a bad day, eh? I was late for the older adults class I help run […]
