Life, etc.

Here are some updates about my life in no particular order:

1. My fantasy team (Team Pony, woohoo!) lost to David's in the first week and I am heartbroken, I feel as though my first foray into the world of baseball management has been a complete failure. My players are awesome - Mark Texeira had a great opening week and Starlin Castro is the man - but my pitching suffered and Dave's players were just better. Tonight I dropped Chipper Jones in favor of a little dude on Arizona called Bloomquist. My reasons were threefold: 1) Chipper was sucking and Bloomquist was being awesome; 2) He is a Diamondback and that's essentially the same thing as being a Slytherin which means he's a ruthless son-of-a-bitch, and 3) His name is Bloomquist, which I find amusing.


2. My horse is coming along wonderfully in his training, I rode him twice this last weekend and he was absolutely incredible. I have such high hopes for him and can't wait until the semester is over and I can spend all summer riding him and playing with him. Also, I think I'll be able to work some shifts at the barn this summer so that would be nice also.


3. This was the first Monday in a very long time which did not suck, I spent it with my friends Brittany, Molly and Dan and it involved a trip to the mall, riding around in gorgeous weather with the top down on the mustang, and Plaza Azteca. It was fun and just what I needed.


4. I have two papers left to write this semester. Two! Remember when I was complaining about how many papers I had to write? I can't believe it is down to just two. Of course, the most important two, but that's alright. One is due this Friday and one is due next Friday. One is mostly done and the other I have outlined and a nice general idea of where it is headed. Other than those and a Latin quiz on Wednesday, my semester is coming to a nice close. I can't wait for summer.


5. My petition to have my 2004 catalog reinstated was approved. This is pretty much the best news I've had all semester and I found out this morning, which is partially what made today so awesome. I don't know if I've blogged about it before - the last few weeks have been so crazy and emotional that instead of being whiny on the internet, I've tried to focus my attention elsewhere. Anyway, during registration it became apparent that none of my classes from freshman year counted anymore and there was this whole stressful mess which has, thankfully, been resolved in my favor. This means I can graduate in a reasonable amount of time & not be an undergrad student into my 30s. (A recurring nightmare of mine, I assure you.)


6. Summer break begins May 1. This is just over two weeks away and I couldn't be happier that this semester is coming to a close and I can be back at HOME with my boyfriend, my horse, and my dog. I'll miss my good friends here at school but I am so ready for a break. Also, England trip, baseball, horses, and sleep.


7. Lists are simply better when they have an odd number of items.
