First week of school

My first week of school has been fairly boring. I have four classes. My hardest one is by far this class, Written Communications. My program is the Instructional Assistant program. After this semester I will have about a year left. I have recently moved to LaCrosse. To be exact I moved up here about two weeks ago! My first night was pretty rough. I started out by locking my keys in my car at about 8 p.m. Since I was locked out of my car I was also locked out of my apartment because my apartment key is on my car keys. So, I called my landlord hoping he had a spare key to let me in so that I could at least be in my apartment. Then I had to call a locksmith so he could unlock my car door. It was rather frustrating because the guy was kind of retarded and annoying. The one nice thing that he did do for me was make me a spare key for my car because I did not have one. I only got one key when I bought my car. It cost me $45.00! If I would have just remembered to take my keys out, I wouldn't have had to waste that much money. Other than my first night, I pretty much LOVE it up here!

I have a really nice roommate that is very much like me! We get a long great! I actually met her on Craig’s List. She had an add on there looking for a roommate. Thank god I found her because we actually get along really well. We have many of the same interests; except she isn't a football fan and I love the Packers!

Before moving up here I lived in Wilton, which is about an hour away. I lived on a little hobby farm which has tons of animals. We have three horses (Midnight, Shawney, and Dreamy), six dogs (Freckles, Emily, Angel, Maple, Lexi and Yeller), about 50 cows, six goats, and two cats. I personally own one of the horses, Midnight, and four of the dogs!

If you couldn’t tell I love the outdoors and animals. One of my favorite hobbies is showing my horse Midnight. I bought him about 9 years ago when he was only three years and stupid. He didn’t know anything. I was very determined to teach him how to ride under western and English. It took me about six years to make him good, but we are so far from being really good. I still love to ride and compete on him, but being in La Crosse makes it difficult to do that. Actually, today I was walking to class and seen a poster for the equestrian team. It would be the perfect opportunity for me and him. Not only would I be competing with him, but I would also be improving our skills. I am so excited about this opportunity and I am really hoping it is something that I can possibly make work. The only thing that I am unsure about right now is where I would keep him because I cannot afford to board him anywhere in La Crosse.
