Random stuff

Hi.

Well, I am glad (very very glad) that I wrote my monster paper for English over a week ago. The first draft is due on Thursday. Yay!

I am back to school but I like that. It ends in less than three weeks!! It will be so nice to not have any school obligations over Christmas, like I did in high school. Yes.

And.. yesterday Grandpa went to school with me and sat in at my Indian history class. Then he introduced himself to the teacher. I didn't mind, though.

Now they are gone. (Yay.) Haha. One week is long enough for them to be over I think. Although, this last week felt literally like three weeks. It went by so slowly, but not because it was tedious. Quite the opposite. I wanted it to last a long time and it did. Unusual I guess.

Anyway, Grandma left some Christmas gifts with us. There aren't too many and I decided to open one of them today. However, I did not find a single one with my name on it. There was one that said "for: Lauren or Grayce." It turned out to be a Rachel Ray cookbook that Mom already had. Heh. So... no gifts for me this year? Mom thinks they have more that they haven't sent yet.

Oh wait, that's not true. There was a bag with no tag that had a really pretty sweater and underwear in it. We assumed that was for me. But it's not like I don't have enough underwear. Gah.

So... I guess that's it. I am very excited for Christmas this year and for my trip in January. Yes. It will be fun.

And... I am glad that cold weather is finally here. The main reason I like cold weather is because I can wear all my very nice winter clothes. I have more warm clothes than summer clothes. I like them. I like wearing scarves and gloves too. Hahahaha. I think that sounds kinda weird. Am I obsessed with clothes or something?? I must be. Looking in my closet is like going to the mall. Haha.

This summer for my birthday I had a no clothes policy. But now I am not doing that. I will accept clothes for Christmas. Of course, Mom and Grandma are the only ones that give me clothes...

When they came to my riding lesson on Saturday, the grandparents took nearly 60 pictures. Yes, 60. For a one hour class, that's one pic every minute. Haha. But they turned out very very nice. I rode Carmen. And Sam had me go over a (small) jump. Carmen trotted into it and cantered out. Everyone clapped for me b/c I actually cantered without falling.

And Grandma said that Sam told her some really nice things about me. Sam said I will be a really good rider, and that she wished she had me when I was "ten years old." She also said I was very nice and caring. That made me feel good. I was riding with three other girls who have been riding for at least one year. They all come at least twice a week too. Sam said, "yeah they're all rich kids." Sam said she wishes I could come more often. But all the girls are nice. Elizabeth, Torii, and Mikayla. Mikayla is only nine years old, but she looks like she's 12. I mean, compared to Bethany, who's ten... well she doesn't compare. I cannot imagine Bethany riding a horse and jumping too.

Anyway, I have been riding for five months now. I can't believe that. I have had 25 lessons. Soon I will have been riding as long as the other girls have. That's cool.

Ok, that is all. Bye!
