The Trials and Tribulations of College

Last Sunday a girl had a break down.  All the freshman had been away from our parents for one night.  This one girl in the suite next to me had a break down.  Her roommate told us she was crying all night and the next morning left with all her clothes without saying anything.  On monday the RD came up and said that the girl was not coming back and that a new roommate would be assigned.  Talk about not being independent.  

I haven't started riding yet.  We get our lesson schedules on friday and lessons start on monday.  I am going slightly insane since this is the longest ive gone in a long time without seeing a horse on a daily basis. I have this urge deep within me to see a horse.  

We had a barn orientation last saturday and we were shown how to polo wrap a horse.  Though i already knew how to do this i did it any ways and after i was done started giving the horse "woody" a face massage.  He was so content that when i tried going off to do something else he got mad, and shook his head saying more, more.  That horse was in horsey heaven.   

Im sure once i start going to the barn on a regular basis just driving past 130 horses on the way to my lesson will kill any tenseness im having right now.  My biggest worry is that because i have been riding on a regular basis for so long that my legs will be sore which hasn't happened to me in years.  

oh well..... I love college.
