Last Sundays

Before I start, happy (late) Thanksgiving! How was yours? Mine was great, I did dishes all day. 

You know those Sundays after a break and you have the overwhelming doom of having to go to school the next day? You know that depressing feeling you get when you have to pull out your homework after your backpack has been in the closet for a week growing dust? Do you know that awful feeling when break is over? Yes, yes we all do. Every. Single. One. Of. Us. 

I know I'm still getting over the Post-Thanksgiving-Dinner-Hangover. I'm still living in the dream of no school, going to bed at whatever time I want, knowing that I'll be able to wake up the next morning, and lay in bed, snuggled up like a burrito, then close my eyes and go back into burrito sleep. But that dream is over. When the alarm rings tomorrow morning, I'm probably just going to stay in my burrito. 

This morning, I pulled out my dusty backpack and the uncharged laptop, and sat for a while, refusing to believe that tomorrow is school. After sitting around for an hour, I just started homework. Woohoo, what fun it is to laugh and sing in a homework-induced coma! My mind is already on Christmas and gifts (this is the kind of thing you might be getting from me).

Come on Santa! We're waiting!


This break, has been amazing. Even though I only had one burrito morning this break, I'm more rested than I have been since summer, and I finally had a sleepover with some friends. 

PAUSE

Let me tell you a bit about that sleepover. My friends and I, oh, we are such rebels. Do you know what? At eleven that night we snuck some items in the room: water and pretzels (GASP!!). Yes, we know, we are such rule breakers. Even worse, we spilled one of those five glasses of water (oh we're in trouble now!). Okay, after sharing with the world what rebels we are, I can continue.

UN-PAUSE

I don't exactly remember where I paused, and you probably don't either, so we should start on another random tangent. Agreed? 

At the barn this week (here I go again), nothing really eventful happened. I did have a really good dressage lesson where I realized my horse does understand leads and can actually do dressage well, and then the next day when I tried again, I was nearly bucked off. Also during that same day, we decided to take a jump (bad, bad decision, Pauline) and my lovely steed took the jump about eight feet away from the jump and jumped about a foot and a half higher than it had to, so it probably looked something like this: 
Not with too much over-exaggeration...


Sorry it wasn't a picture of me, I lost my video camera. Whoopdee-doo. 

And to make my day even greater, it’s raining. Since I’m too busy sitting on a chair procrastinating, have a lovely day for me!!

  1. Don't forget the samoa ice cream!! ;)
    I totally understand the Sunday Night Blues thing. I have tests, quizzes, volleyball fitness testing, and the SATs this week, and I'm dreading school with a fiery passion. (Does that even work? Can you dread something with a fiery passion?) Anyway, I'm pretty miserable right now with the prospect of school ahead....

  2. I really liked this post! You had a lot of voice, and that back-to-school feeling you described at the beginning was very relatable. You also made it funny, so it kept me interested as I read it. I liked the part where you described that sleepover.
