| Ehh... the school year isn't even over yet and IMSA is already killing me... or at least the idea of leaving home and North is..
But I guess I've passed the point of no return. I can't turn back now.
I've found that the best therapy is limiting my thinking about it. I mean, how long have I spent weighing the pros and cons of going? I just need to trust myself that I made the right decision... and then forget all the pros and cons. Truly, I don't think that the issue is that I've made the wrong decision here. Like I said, I just need to have faith in myself, because God knows that I've spent enough time stressing out about whether I should go or not. I know that if I were to have chosen to stay, I would have an equally hard time thinking about what opportunities I was giving up - for example, all the friends I won't have. But I have a voice in the back of my head telling me that I will probably return to North by second semester of next year.
On a completely unrelated note, I think it's really important that in Wicked, they didn't make Glinda "bad."

| Hmm, how should I put this?
How about this - yesterday, I sent IMSA my "Invitation to Attend" form along with a $100 seat deposit, which comes back to me when I graduate. I also called them to schedule my placement testing and orientation dates, and my foreign language preferences. Yep, it looks like I'm going to IMSA.
Sorry to tell you guys so suddenly. It's just a weird thing to talk about. And hard, because it means that I'm leaving behind amazing Naperville North. As you guys all know, I'm not one of those people who can't wait to get out of Naperville and hates their parents and stuff like that... but still. I think it's a good opportunity and I wouldn't be able to stand missing out on something worthwhile. If I don't like it, I can still come back! And I'll come back every weekend. Don't sweat it.
In other news, I went and saw Stick It yesterday. Awesome movie and I recommend it to all of you... unless you don't like sports-ish movies.
Oh, and I think I'm in love with the Goo Goo Dolls

So today, when I went horseback riding, I rode a new horse  I didn't catch his name, but he was a heck of a lot smaller than my old horse, Onyx. He's not small, though - he's average size and he's more or less white with little dark spots all over ("fleabitten gray"). It's kind of sad to not be riding Onyx anymore, but this guy is pretty cool too. The funny thing is that we went along fantastically one way, but when we switched around, everything kind of went to Hell. Oh well. My elbows are being retarded... but I guess I shouldn't bore you kids with fun horseback riding technique-y stuff. When I was walking him, though, I swear he was trying to eat me
The bummer is, though, that my parents are kind of getting impatient (as in they don't really want to shell out the money) with this horseback riding thing. We'll see how it turns out...

| So turns out I won't go to YG this week anyway... Yesterday was my dad's birthday and today is his party, so I get to stay home... again.
