The Anna log

I will have to try that. Maybe on Metal Gear, no one plays that.

I have not been on in FOREVERRRRR! Homework comes first apparently. XD. Of course it does.

I was sick on Sunday and dehydrated. And then on Monday we had Soccer and we did so much running, my side hurt and I was lightheaded. Like, I'm gonna fall over and I'm dizzy lightheaded. And then, stupid me, I kept running. I think I was afraid I'd have to sit out this practice. Last year our old coach made me sit out half the practice after my blackout.

I rode Pene once through the woods and have not been able to get out to the horses again because, guess what. James picked up more hours at work so now every day except Monday, I'm at school until 4:30. And I forgot my lunch. Actually. I know it's not healthy, but I have not been eating breakfast. And I have not been eating lunch either. I know. I should eat lunch. I should eat breakfast. But I just can't wake up early enough to get it. Mat told me I had to eat lunch. So I ate lunch for one day because I woke up when I should for Tuesdays and Thursdays on a Wednesday.

Mom gets mad at me because the dishes are piling up and because Shiva isn't getting food in the middle of the day and is getting skinny. HELLO!! I am GONE half the day. no, MORE than half the day! I can't drive home and feed Shiva at noon. And then come back to school. That's why I asked YOU to do it! And then mom says, "Oh, I might.... I probably won't remember." You just told me I need to feed her in the middle of the day. I know she needs to be fed but I AM NOT THERE!!! FEED HER YOURSELF!! And you expect me to do the dishes while I'm gone? I come home, eat food. Get dressed, go to soccer, go to play practice and you wonder why I don't get the dishes done. Honestly. Where are your brains? I'm not home. I can't feed my dog. I can't wash the dishes. So do the dang chore yourself. I'm not wonderwoman.

And Mira is giving me a hell of a time. I want her to warm up to Zypheron, but she doesn't want to. She's all b****ing about it and its bugging the crap out of me. And Zypheron refuses to live in the same house as Ivy and Vye, the Underland Twins. And he is trying to plead with me to get Mira to listen to him because Mira won't talk to him, they are talking to each other through me and it's driving me crazy! I'm a connector between to people in an amazingly stupid arguement. Not the best place to be. Ah, it's a struggle. We'll find out who wins eventually.

Buwahahahaha! Pene jumped the fence to the mini's pasture while it was raining and couldn't get back over cause it was too slick. Teach her a lesson. We just left her in there and fed her there and all. Brought her out to the other pasture the next day. Silly horse. She jumps so much, i might as well teach her to so I can jump too.

I haven't ridden or worked with the horses since Friday And it bugs me.

We played a game on Saturday and lost. Horribly. It was, shall we say, almost a mercy rule? If they had gotten one more point in before half time, that would have ended the game. We are a miserable team. But we cheer ourselves up with the fact that they were almost all part of the school's Varsity team. I don't care though. When I got home I attacked the reese's miniatures and the chocolate cake.

First exam on Tuesday. I'm worried, it's a Biology exam.

*gives tons of luck* I hope you do well on your exam!!

I hope I did well too. It seemed easier than I thought it would be. But I retain information. I didn't study.... at all. Oh how surprising.

Still haven't gotten the horses out. But the farrier came out.

Played a game on Sunday. Lost that one too. Horribly. We did get one point though! We practiced slide tackles yesterday and now my thigh looks all beat up and it hurts. However, after I realized I was doing it wrong, it didn't hurt so bad to slide. I did dig up some holes though, XD

I got 60/75 on the exam. That's a heckuva lot better than the average. 47.5/75. It makes me sad to know that someone got lower than that.

Well, congratulate me, I just did the stupidest thing ever. After approximately three weeks of no riding whatsoever, I took Pene out on a bareback, trotting, trail ride. A long one. Then the next day, I took Pene out to begin working with her jumping. We just trotted over ground poles, but that is still a beating to my legs. It has been since Friday. Being Tuesday now, and I am still soooooo sore . This is sooo stupid. I should not be this sore this long after.

How long do you normally stay like that? You know, I've never ridden a horse. Except those rides where somebody holds the reins or something. Oh yeah, congrats on your exam.

Congrats on the exam!!! *gives a cookie*

Thank you! *eats cookie*

Well, usually I'm never sore. But after a long break, I am sore for a day, two days max.
Haha, I'm sure something broke now if it didn't before. XD

How do you get sore after a long break of riding and then suddenly riding again? I never rode a horse before...And what's 60/75 in percentages? If it's bad, you don't have to tell me.

I thought I'd just answer these questions before I left.

60/75 in percentages is 80%. Divide 60 by 75, then multiply the result by 100.

During a long break, you are not using the muscles most often used while riding. Thus, when riding for a long time, those muscles that are unused to so much work, tear, and there you go! You are sore, XD.

Whenever people work out, lifting weights, jumping, whatever, the muscles take quite a beating and when they repair themselves they are stronger than before. (I just thought I'd add this. Heh
