Hey guys!

I hope you had a great holiday! With our family it was food galore! : D And right as i'm typing this i'm drinking a starbucks double chocolate chip frappachino. Which probably isn't the smartest thing to do not long before bed....oh well! Anyway, I moved last week and it's been okay. I have only gotten on the trampoline 2 or 3 times. Also i've only gone into the woods 1 time since. I'll probably do that after school one day or something. Sooo yeah. Anyway i'm trying to edit a video of a horse i used to ride. I've not ridden him for around a year now and I finally feel like i'm ready to move on. He was a hell of a horse.(He's still alive, don't worry) He taught me everything from walk-to jumping 18 inch courses. I went to my first walk-trot and walk/trot/canter shows with him.And had my first 2 falls off of him He was my partner in crime. When I was with him, nobody could beat us, as far as i'm concerned. We may not have gotten a ton of blue ribbons, but we learned every step of the way. Out of everybody that rode him, I was the only one who could get him to accept the bit. Not even my trainer could get him to do that. The day of my first show, my mom and trainer, Linnea, were standing @ the fence together and Linnea was talking about me and Toby. She said, " Christen and Toby make a great pair." My mom asked why. Linnea replied "Because they surprise each other!" We were great at jumping. I've only jumped 2 horses since and neither were as smooth jumpers as him. I'm not saying that i'll never find another horse for me, but, Toby was a great horse to learn on and i'll never forget him. I had some of my best times on this horse.

This week

This week has been awesome! My Animal Science 2 class had a feild trip on Tuesday. We went to the NC zoo. Then The Twilight Saga's : New Moon came out today! : ) I'm going to see it with my friend Elaine tomorrow : ) Sooo freaking excited!!! Then next week starts Thanksgiving break. I go to school Monday and Tuesday then off til December 1st :)

Well I gotta go. I have to be at the theatre by 9:30 in the morning and the drive is pretty far. : P But this is the best theatre in the area! Reclining seats, etc!

Cast Is off!

Hey everybody!
My cast is now off : ) I'm happy about that but....I asked when I can start riding again. The doctor said MAYBE after I see him next. In two months! At this rate I won't be able to ride til my birthday in February! grrrr And right now I'm trying to do online work my algebra 2 teacher assigned...grrr i'm not doing good at all.
Here is one question.
After an oven is turned on, its temperature, T, is represented by the equation T = 400 - 350^(3.2)-0.1m, where m represents the number of minutes after the oven is turned on and T represents the temperature of the oven, in degrees Fahrenheit.
How many minutes does it take for the oven’s temperature to reach 300°F? Round your answer to the nearest minute.
I have no idea of how to do this and the website will lock me out of it when 12 comes around! ahhhh!!!

OMG soo much stress

I'm soo stressed about everything right now! School, home, riding. In school today there was the Beta club induction ceremony and everybody i knew looked at me and asked why I wasn't being inducted. I would if it weren't for math bringing my GPA down. And so I'm taking Algebra 2 right now and it's kicking my butt! So i'm really stressed about that. The rest of my grades are fine. They are actually really high. And also we have been doing stuff to plan for our graduation projects. I'm quite possibly conditioning a mare for my trainer. Hopefully the advisory team will okay it. But anyway...Lately it has gotten to the point to where I wasn't sure wether to continue riding or not. Then I started thinking."What the heck. Y should I quit?! Riding is my way to relieve stress. so by quitting I would be adding more stress, not only making myself miserable" So as you have it i'm not quitting. : ) but yeah...i gotta go. i'm not feeling so well. I haven't really all day.

only 8 more days of having a cast.

Yep, it is correct. Only 8 more FULL days of having a cast. Hopefully it won't be a bad omen to get it off on Friday the 13th... Then I get to ride again the first week of December!!!! : )

This pic was from this past weekend. My cousins and I got bored, we had a camera....and it was raining.... so we went into the barn and on the porch an took pics. The ones from the barn didn't come out that good though...
