| It's official.. I hate rain.. ........
I feel the need to validate the reason as to why I feel this way, so let me begin at the beginning. ... First of all, I have never ever liked thunderstorms.. mostly because I'm afraid of sudden loud noises.. (yes, I admit it- this is why I have to cover my ears when I watch fireworks.. and I will still jump at the larger ones.. fun....) but, rain also can cause problems such as road flooding, or basement flooding.. not to mention the fact that if you need to go outside for some reason, you will undoubtedly get soaked. ..
So that's the basic premise as to why I had rain.. Now for the reason as of late..
Tim's house has a stream behind it.. this stream empties into the Yellow Breeches creek.. (getting some idea yet... think..) Yesterday all over the news they announce how high all the rivers and creeks around here are going to flood.. (most at least 5 ft above flood stage. . great).. . so, yesterday I go to take Tim dinner at work.. instead I pick him up, we go back to his home, and proceed to take everything out of his home that would be ruined if it flooded.. this took me several trips from the far edge of new cumberland, back to my house.. and it was pouring mostly the entire time... and we started at about 8.. and weren't finished until after midnight.. sound like fun??? I DON'T THINK SO!!! 
::sigh::  Now for the real kicker....... It might not flood anymore.. for some reason, the weather guys were wrong(what a suprise).. or at least decided change their opinion during the night since we didn't get as much rain as they thought we would.. hmmmm..
So basically we spent all last evening moving couches, mattresses, dressers, clothing and animals.... for nothing.. All I can say is the water better at least block a road near his house or something to make this whole dilemma seem like it was worthwhile.. If not, I think I may have a mental breakdown.....
Adeiu.....
PS- I cut my finger yesterday on a couch caster.. grrrrr... I HATE RAIN!!! (If you laugh I'll hunt you down.. .)

| Long, lonely days.... As much as I enjoy having a job that pays decently well, I hate the fact that for the most part I spend my days alone... I open the office alone, usually eat lunch alone and sometimes close the office alone...also there's those days when my dad has training sessions in other parts of the state and therefore I spend the entire working day alone.. tomorrow and wednesday are two of these such days.... and since he's spending wed night in pittsburgh i'll be alone until at least midday on thurs.... I am not a big fan.. I miss working at the stable where there were other people or at least the horses to talk to and be around.. sometimes there are people online that I can talk to, but usually everyone is working or sleeping... I guess this is just one of those days... for some reason I don't feel to great so I didn't go with my dad when he offered to take me to lunch.. therefore I am still here, alone.... Even Tim is busy because he's not answer his phone.. ::sigh:: Welcome to the real world I suppose.... | | |
| Well, it's certainly been long enough since I've last written on this thing... but then again it seems that I'm not the only one who's been slacking off about it.. The fact is that it really doesn't matter how often you post something because most of the time no-one reads any of it anyway... Alright, now down to business...
Things are going fine as usual.. Finished my first year of college with out any problems during the year besides breaking an elbow when the horse decided to try somersaults.. lol.. grades were good, better first semester than second, but not bad overall... Being on the Kutztown equestrian team was the best decision I made the entire year..It was so much fun riding competitively again, but at a cheaper price and in a much more relaxed manner... Just being around horses again was awesome enough, but making friends with so many great people made it even better.. During the summer I guarantee that the team is without a doubt what I will miss the most.. I almost made it to regionals this year... I would have made it too it it wasn't for breaking my elbow the day before the last few shows.. oh well, next year I'll make it to regionals for sure, if not zones and nationals.. at least that's what I'm hoping for.. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
Next year I'll be living in Rothermel Hall again.. I know people say I should move off campus or to a bigger dorm, but I'm happy where I am.. out of all the dorms, Rothermel has the best rooms because we have big windows we can open so it stays alot cooler.. that and the hallways don't feel like hospital corridors... lol.. I dunno, I don't have a roomate yet though.. I'll prolly get stuck with a freshman.. .. as long as they aren't a pain in the butt I could care less.. I lived with a sophmore this past semester and we didn't have any problems.. the fact that she was my third roomate this year was kind of pathetic but it wasn't my fault the other two decided to quit and work instead.. just kinda seems like it was according to other people lol.... other than that there really isn't much to tell about school....
This summer I'm working three jobs... weekdays I'm working for my dad fulltime in his office.. I'm an Intern, but basically that means I sit around alot and wait for the phone to ring or for projects to get down so I can file them.. lol. . then on weekends I'm working at my former riding instructors stable mucking stalls and riding horses.. the pay there isn't too great considering most of it goes to gas for the 1hr 15min drive, but it keeps me around horses and people that I've known for a long time.. It's crazy to see some of the younger girls I rode with growing up.. kinda scary too when some of them just got or are getting their drivers licenses... (ex: One of them got pulled over for a DUI while still on her permit, with her mother in the car... apparantly she had issues staying in between the lines.. lol) but it's cool.. and then every now and then on weekend nights I barback for my mom out at the bar in Steelton.. that's always interesting, lol. but with all that I''m pretty busy this summer...
Then of course I have to mention Tim.. This saturday was our 1-year mark.. I can't believe that much time has gone by already...it went by so fast and yet I remember so much of it, it's strange.. Things have been going pretty good with us.. we have our fights every now and then, but they usually get resolved fairly quickly... Lately things have been kinda rough since I've been working all the time and our time off clashes.. we really only see each other when I take him dinner at work for a have an hour and whenever I'm not working on weekends... it feels like I'm still at school with how much I see him.. The fact that this coming year I won't be coming home as often doesn't help either... but if we are meant to be together, things will work out.. he makes me happy and at this point, that's all I care about....
Well, since I'm pretty much written an entire book I suppose I'll end this entry here.. maybe someone will actually read it, maybe not .. at least it's been written down... :) | | |
| Oye.. back in school again.. eh, it has it's ups and downs... my classes seem like they'll be alright.. I'm going to have to do a lot more studying and work this term tho..lost of papers assigned already due in the next few weeks, and I have a lot of reading to do as well. which'll be fine because I like reading anyway... I don't have a roomate.. and supposedly I probably won't be getting one anytime soon..that's cool.. now I have two closets and two sets of drawers to work with so at least the room doesn't look quite as messy as it usually does..It's hard being away from Tim tho, that's for sure... I've met a few new people already..so that's always good... but you never really know if you'll end up staying friends with them over the course of the semester or not.. more than likely I'll end up talking to other people from my classes and making friends with them too.. good deal.. friends are always good to have.. ... Went to my first riding lesson of the semester yesterday.. apparently I am way out of shape.lol. my legs have been sore all day today..lol.. but I've really got to get working so I can be a competitor for the Western classes.. there really aren't many good Novices on our western team, so coach says I really gotta step it up.. fun.. I'll have fun riding with my arm in a sling.. lol. oh well.. hmm. I guess that's it for now. I've still got some reading to do for my next class so maybe I'll add more later.. Adieu... | | |
| Lets see, where should I begin?? I guess I can start by saying that I'm goin gback to college in 2 days.. I officially don't have a roomate again... this is the second one to drop out because they didn't want to go to college anymore.. not because I'm a bad roomate and made them want to leave..(just had to clear that one up).. . I actually saw my original roomate lastnight when Tim and I went to the farmshow... She's doing alright..she was there with her little brother.. We had said we'd stay in touch... we haven't... speaking of ppl leaving, another one of my good friends want to leave KU to go to West Chester... she's still not sure if she's going to or not.. (personally, I hope she doesn't go.. I'd certainly miss her.. lol)... anyway, so yea, last night we went to the farmshow... initally we were going to go to the rodeo,but we opted for the food instead... lol.. yesterday was just a very horsey day.. Bryce had called earlier in the day to ask if we wanted to take the Percherons out with her.. so of course we went..lol.. it was fun, ppl always like to slow down to see the horses pulling the wagon.. especialy when the horses pulling the wagon stand over six feet tall at the shoulder.. lol.. but that was fun, until one of the reins got caught on the wheel, and broke, and jerked one of the horses mouths pretty bad.. we had to climb under them to get to the rein and they weren't too happy.. that and the fact we had to stop in the middle of the road because we couldn't drive them any farther with only one rein.. oh well. that got patched up.. we had actually tried to take them out the day before, but as soon as we got them harnessed up, it started to pour.... of course..... so we sat there waiting for the rain to stop.. it didn't.. it got down to a drizzle so we took them back up to the upper barn one at a time to untack...they are the kind of horses that love to go out, so they were excited, then pissed because we just had them stand there in the harnesses.. lol.. oh well... after we put them away we went back to Tommy's (Bryces boyfriend.. she lives there too)... he had just gotten all of his fines for hunting the day after season was over.. when it was really just getting the deer they had already shot the day before.. but oh well. he got like 800 dollars in fines to pay, of course they are fighting most of the charges.. lol.. oh well.. Then I went with Bryce to Penn State Middletown campus because Bryce had calculus.. I went to class with her.. and felt really dumb. . I'm not going to say anymore.. lol.. So that was most of the fun stuff that happend over the last few days.. not the not so fun part..yesterday morning before I went with Bryce and Tim, I had an appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon about the pain I've been having in my arm and hand... Turns out I have a Trapped nerve in my elbow.. and I need to have it operated on or the nerve could become damaged... fun.. so I'm going in on the 27th.. I'm going to miss my classes on friday and get the surgery done.. Then I'm not allowed to ride a horse for a month and after I have to be careful.. this mean I'll prolly miss a horseshow or two.. damn.. I was doing so good too.. even if I manage to do the flat classes if it's a little sore.. I'm not sure I could get away with Jumping..oh well. there's always next season I guess.. Why oh Why do I always get the weird stuff?.. From a ganglion cystic tumor in my wrist, to acute patellar pain syndrome, to back spasms caused by the muscles bunching up and now this. and I didn't even mention everything.. I have been to a doctor for some reason every freaking year.. It's ridiculous.,. and I'm not faking it.. I'll show you the stitches after the surgery to prove it.. .. oh well.... today I've got to get out and buy new riding clothes because the old ones are falling apart.. even though I won't be able to ride the entire time for the remainder of the season.. what a blow .. right now I think I'm gonna go back to sleep for a bit.. or read.. relax.. when my mom finally wakes up I'm out... leave me a message if you feel like it.. <3 Jessi | | |
