Tuesday vs. Thursday, Ultimate Showdown

Today was the best best day that I've had in awhile.

It didn't start off very well - I overslept by two hours and the whole point of waking up early was to write a paper that was due today. However, I was able to write an essay that I think was really solid.

Then I had my riding lesson for the week and it was really fun. I rode a sweet little horse named Piper who looked a lot like Monty. He was a lot of fun - very adjustable, and we did some fun exercises that dealt with adding and subtracting strides from a broken line. Piper and I did really well together and were able to complete all of the exercises without any trouble! He really took me on for my distances and was such a blast to ride. I hope I get to ride him some more in the coming weeks because I think we make a good team.

After that I went to class and as it turns out, my paper was due on Thursday instead of today! We had a peer review and personal work day, except that everyone else in the class was still working on their papers and there wasn't anyone to read over mine with me. My professor asked if mine was done and I said it was - after all, I had it prepared to turn it in today, anyway! But she let me hand it and then sent me home so I got out of class today and that was a really nice surprise.

I spent the rest of my afternoon catching up on Bones and Fringe, two of my favorite TV shows, and at some point tonight I will get the reading done for class tomorrow. My Latin homework is already done and at some point I have to write an article review for History 358, but there is time for that and I really want to relax tonight since I haven't slept well in days.

I'm starting to think that Tuesdays will be just as awesome as Thursdays, maybe even better. Sure I can't sleep in as long but I do get the chance to go and ride every week and so far that has been so much fun. I absolutely love riding at Amazing Grace and I think that it is just what I needed to get through the semester from hell.
