Ah, the craziness of last weekend is behind, me. Not that it wasn't enjoyable, I am just glad that that little bit of stress is gone.  We did well in the show, I placed third and sixth. All of my worries were needless, because everything went well and all the horses did well. My mom and brother got to come watch the show and though my brother claims to have been bored to death the whole time, I think he was trying to make me feel guilty because mom made him come. I mean it couldn't have been that bad, the show only lasted a few hours and he got Chinese for lunch.

We are finished riding for the semester now. We had our riding final at the beginning of the week. I will miss riding, but it is an additional hour or two a day that I don't have something I have to do, so I think I might survive for a couple of weeks.

I had hoped that with the completion of the show and the conclusion of riding for this semester that my stress level would decease; I guess that was hoping  for a lot, because it hasn't.  The deadlines for papers and other project are steadily closing in on me. Come the week after Thanksgiving break, I have 4 papers and 3 presentations due.

Thanksgiving break should help cure this encounter with stress. I can take a week off (well not really). I can take a week to write papers, with out having to worry about being in class. I love my Judson Sisters, but I think we are all ready to spend some time with other people, it has been a long semester.  So maybe I will have a little extra time after writing  all the papers to hang out with some of my friends back home that I haven't seen in a while.
