happy working student post #starbucks

I have the morning off because we didn't leave Springpoint until 10 last night, so I got up this morning and scooted myself over to Freeport to the Starbucks, which has coffee, in case you were wondering, and also free internet.

It's Friday, which means I've been here for two weeks now- unbelievable. I'd really rather not go home for one more month of high school (into which is crammed AllStateAPexamsseniortrippromsuejacomaclinicbostonmusictripfinals). The closeness of everything is so easy- why yes, I can run into town in the morning. Oh, and we're scooting over to Snowfields this afternoon. It's a scoot. Not a four hour drive.

Neil got an "Aunty Caitlin ride" the other day, in which it was revealed that all his right rein issues are really my right rein issues. So I will be doing a lot of one (left)-handed riding this week. I've also been getting to ride a pony named Benjamin Moore, former Wellington circuit pro hunter, for his rider while she in Europe over vacation. He's fantastic to jump (I hadn't jumped a trained horse in a really long time), does adorable little changes, and has been doing a lot of suppling work this week, so when she gets back she will have to accept that we have converted him into a dressage pony. Aly is feeling back-happy and foot-happy despite getting round 1 of her spring shots Wednesday, and I've been getting to ride her a few days a week. It's a good feeling to get to ride 3 horses in one day.

In other news, my supply of Lucky Charms is rapidly being depleted, Neil ripped a shoe off while wearing bell boots after a whopping 8 days, and is getting it put back on this afternoon, I miss my Houlton friends but not Houlton, and my mom sent me an Easter package, so I have lots of Peeps for when my cereal runs out.
