It's Over

Well since school has been out now for a week and a half, I figured I could write about my experiences. I have not done anything! Last week I stayed at home and just did things around the house. Saturday we finally did get out and went to Lake Chapala. We didn't swim or anything, but we did go horseback riding. It was my first experience with actual riding more than just a little bit. My buns hurt afterwards! What surprised me the most is how much it hurts when the horse is jogging because all you do is bounce up and down with it, but the second it switches to running most, it then becomes one of the smoothest rides around! I loved the feeling when it was running (although my horse liked competing and somehow kicked his speed up at each horse that seemed to be approaching--to win). During this last kilometer run I was very close to flying off, and was certain I was going to, but luckily I didn't. I'd like to go again soon, even if I couldn't walk for a couple hours or if the next day I was in some pretty intense pain!

Today is the last day of the break. Yesterday was supposed to be the last day, but they moved it out to today so they could clean the school and get rid of any last H1N1 defects. As Onna would point out, "They had a week and a half to do that!" Yes, they did. But oh well!

Speaking of things being over, as most of you know I am a pretty intense watcher of Seinfeld. Yesterday I finished the series, in total. That includes all episodes, all deleted scenes, all stories of episodes, and one episode that is only on the DVDs! It was a great journey. I knew I had seen a lot of Seinfeld before, and out of the 182 episodes, I had seen 180 before this adventure. One of them was the only-aired-once episode of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, and the other was when the gang decides to be volunteers for elderly people early in season 4. At least there are only a couple weeks left to entertain myself without Seinfeld! What a great series!

With school starting tomorrow and us having to make it up, instead of school for four hours a day, we will be going to school for six hours a day. It will be a bore, but it'll work out. And in reality, there are only 7 days left of school and you can't beat that!
