I get to graduate -- yay, but not before I have to pass written AND oral examinations! These are going to be the epitomy of my existence. 10 hours stuck in a computer lab typing out everything that I should have compreended in the past two years -- please just shoot me! Today is day one -- Statistics and Research Methods....math, research, typing --- HOURS~ UGH!!
On top of this glorious day -- me=sick. Not just not feeling too hot, but full blown head cold I think I am going to die, no one wants to be around you sick. Can't wait to sit down in the quiet computer lab coughing, sniffling, blowing, snot and germs everywhere for HOURS! Everyone is going to love me and I will be counting down the minutes until I can go back to bed with my electric blankie -- 7hours, 22 minutes, 13 seconds --- and counting....
This week I was also informed that my horse and I, the one I have done everything with finished out our Amateur Championship in 2 years with extremely limited showing!! But is now not feeling quite so hot in the front end and is on permanent vacation for the rest of the fall/winter -- no riding! Basically -- a death sentence for my stress relief! I can't ride = crabby me! She can't be ridden = horse on sugar high 24 hours a day. On top that the only cool thing was discovering that she has scoliosis which is incredibly rare in horses, so I am excited. It will never cause her any problems, just a way cool thing that sets my horse out from others.
And then there is my boss -- that some days you love him some days you just wanna tape his mouth shut kinda boss. The other day he told me I had "no idea what I was talking about..." Really, that last thing you ever tell me is that I have no clue because really, I think long and hard before I open my mouth to come to you with an issue and you give me that? I am pretty sure there is a lack of stepping up to the plate and admitting that there is a problem with the system that he does not want to inferfere with because it allows for him to be "friendly." Cut the crap already! So not only did that make me mad, but eveyting else he towered up on me this pask week has just escalated to yesterday whan I bit his head off...oops, but you deserved it kind of attitude. I am pretty sure I will not get my word in ever about what is really going on here, so I will continue to smille and nod and deal for 6 more weeks until I can graduate. Good bye job paying a crappy wage for babysitting all the other employees - adios!
However am I supposed to deal with the stress now?
Well, it comes down to this. I need to do something active and my pony still needs exercise .....
My pony will be my new dog! Yesterday we went for a mile jog around the property. Her in a halter and lead and me in my reeboks. It was beautiful. She was stretched and happy, I was huffing and de-stressed, life was beautiful. This is exactly how the next six weeks will be. Her and I running -- I used to have a rottweiler I would take running every morning when I was little. Actually it was more like he would pull me along the path, but still it is exercise. Maybe now I can actually make my deadline of 20 pounds lost by Christmas. Out for a jog anyone??? Can you picture it, my pony and I out for a jog with the sun setting ... I can!
