new course (at last)

I haven’t updated in the last two weeks because I haven’t felt like it. Oddly enough, the only thing I’m really, really enjoying is doing my school and riding! And sleepovers at Bonnie’s. ^^;
Right now I’d love to be doing M/J Science 3, however, I need to complete an oral, and my teacher hasn’t called me back all week! Ughhh.
Note to self: I should get on my instant messaging program and IM with all of my loved friends. That should make me feel more… satisfied? Less bored, anyway.

Anyway, I’ve been having my usual lessons, working on that same course. I was having a lot of trouble with it, but I finally got through it and Bonnie thought up a new course! It was yellow (around the coop that would come before it, like in a line), turn to the first jump in the diagonal line, cut across to the coop, to the outside, to the green, and finally, the diagonal line. I think. *laughs* I might have left out one.

This course was so much fun. Tonka was bad, but I really let him know I was in control, and we got through all of the jumps beautifully. It was so much fun! We finished early, and read for, like. Two hours. While Laura struggled with hooking up their stupidly overcomplicated computers to wi-fi. Poor Laura :( She’d had a very unsatisfying/not very progressive day.

Oh! I slept over at Bonnie’s house last Saturday, and got to see the filly. (Who, I found out, has another name: Chip. Wtf?) It was almost perfect. Almost. Mainly, it was just Bridgette and Alex – two girls at the barn. I used to think they were nice, but just not good riders (…they aren’t ^^;). Now I think they’re really freaking annoying! They started following me, and Bridgette was doing “fun things” with the filly. Mainly teasing her (which she evidentially didn’t like, considering the way she responded) and picking lush green grass, then making her follow her up and down the fenceline before she finally gave it to her. Ughhh. So annoying! Bridgette’s been “sheltered,” by her mother. A barn cat (the nicer one!) scratched her eyelid because she was being stupid and holding her like a baby and annoying her. She went to the fucking emergency room and had the cat quarantined while they tested for fucking rabies! What the hell?!

Anyway, they were annoying. Dumb girls who act immature/somewhat retarded (not the insult, the definition) always get to me. I can’t be around retarded people. It’s not that I’m prejudiced against them. I just can’t do it! D: Brittany, for example, in my homeschool group, is retarded. So one day we had class together, and we were talking about birthdays.
”I’m sixteen,” She said proudly.
”Really? Cool!” We all gushed. We’re nice to her; I’m nice to her. I still can’t stand her. It’s kind of sad.
”Yeah,” She said. “I look a lot older, don’t I?”
”Oh, yeah, definitely.”
”In fact…” She pauses, and leans in, then whispers, “I’m wearing a B-R-A!”
”Um, cool! ^^;;”
”Yeah, I usually just wear, like, an undershirt or something. I’m not really that comfortable wearing one yet.” She was getting steadily louder, and there was a table of eight boys around a foot away.
My best friend, Lexa: “Canwepleasegetoffthistopic?*ahem* ^^;;;;”
The table mutually agreed, except for Brittany, who just seemed a little confused. Poor Brittany :(

She also likes this guy who’s now around two or three years younger than her, Casey. So, this week she said to him, “I know you’re noticing how different I am, and you want to ask me out. But I’m not ready for that yet.”
Casey was mocking her later. I was in his group; he’s cool. He’s mean. But he’s funny, and bearable. However, I’m one of the three girls who don’t like him. >>; How annoying.

Anyway, I just can’t stand her. You’ll be polite, and nice, and she’s often rude and mean in reply! Or she’ll just get this hurt look and glare at you like you’ve done this terrible thing by asking to borrow a pencil. Annnd she’s rather conceited, too – which I can kind of get, since a lot of people are nice to her.
For example: We were in groups, completing various activities, and Brittany started to say – rather snobbishly, which surprised me - “You know, I’ve been in two girlscout troops with Danica and Alexa.” My best friends.
”Um, cool! :)” –me
”Yeah… we were never close, though. I mean, we didn’t have that much in common.”
“Oh… yeah.. ^^;”
”But, I mean, I wouldn’t have been friends with them anyway. You know, I have so many right now! I have sooo many friends. ^^”
”0-o; Um, great.”

I get increasingly frustrated with her as the day goes on. I really hope my child isn’t retarded; I’m not sure what kind of a mother I’d be. D:
Yeah, I got off topic. Oh, well. That’s life at the barn!
