Normally I would be slightly embarrassed (yes, only slightly) to post this photo of myself on my blog… but not today. Though my week has been extremely stressful full of things that I’ve absolutely had to get done, no excuses, it has also been a happy week.
Saturday I won the Advanced Western Horsemanship class at the show my school put on, and Sunday I won Novice Western Horsemanship Regionals… I think I’m more excited about the fact that I won a belt buckle instead of the fact that I won regionals. But whatever… the buckle is sitting on my windowsill so it can sparkle in the sun… a little.
I also got my itinerary for my Australia trip this summer, which can be read by all here. Basically I got excited about the fact that we’re trekking through the outback – a part of Australia I never saw the first time I went. Southern Australia will be cold in the mornings and afternoons in July, but that’s okay – I’ll hopefully end my trip in Brisbane where it’ll be warm and sunny.
I got a phone call from my summer bosses who run the horse show photography company asking me if I wanted to work fro them this summer. Basically I freaked out and said “Hell Yeah” while typing an e-mail to them with my summer schedule. Seriously, that summer job is better than your summer job.
OH! OH! AND DON’T FORGET! I’m running my first stoneware firing on Sunday. It’s an all day job, and I’ll be hanging out in the clay studio for, like, 16 hours while this thing goes on, but I’ve persuaded friends to come and visit. This and I’ll have time to work on my paper due Thursday. But yeah… clay firings are awesome and expect to see photos up during the day from my phone here and on facebook.
Well, that was an overloaded entry for not writing in such a long time. I guess I’ll head back to doing what I’m actually supposed to be doing and actually get some homework done.
P.S. That photo was taken after an intramural soccer game.

Annnnd! It’s such a pity you’re not going to stop by Sydney, but then I guess you’ve already been — I’m curious as to how you’ll find Australian winters, though. They’re probably nothing even close to how cold yours are.

on 07/03/2010 at 08:00When I was in Sydney last time it was unusually cold and rainy… we climbed the bridge during the sunset and got soaked! It was fun though. But yeah, I could deal with 40-60 degree F temperatures through the winter (one of the many reasons why I would like to permanently move over there!)
