Almost June

It's the end of May... and I'm outside playing ball with Jack. Jack is muddy up to his belly from running through the tall grass... and my attire? navy blue sweats pants, red and yellow inside-out socks, and an ugly black sweater with the hood cut off (my lovely work).
Jack is quite the ball-player. Every day he wants to play now that it's the slightest bit warm - no, that's too far. Now that it's not freezing. If he had the choice, he would have someone fling that little blue and orange ball for him 18 hours a day with minimal breaks for water and breathing... And no, that's not a joke.
Anyway. It was pouring this morning, so the grass is mushy and muddy. Doesn't stop Jack at ALL. Of course, after the fourth throw he turned to watch me and not the ball, and now he can't find it and is freaking out. Too bad I can't use the other ball, because he just lost that one right before.
Now as I write the wind is picking up and I'm shivering through my sweater. The sun is hiding behind a huge cloud, and I wish I could blow it away with simply my breath... Oh! Jack found the ball! Wow he's excited.
I was just reminded of my favorite song when I was in choir 7-8th grade. It's called Wind on the Hill, and goes like this;

"No one can tell me,
Nobody knows.
Where the wind comes from, 
Where the wind goes
Goes, where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere,
Fast as it can. 
I couldn't keep up with it - Not if I ran.
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows.
Where the wind comes from, 
Where the wind goes...
Goes, where the wind goes."


It's short and sweet... and so beautiful to hear (or sing).

Moving on to more important things (not that anything on here is really important, or else I would be writing it where someone actually read it). Spring quarter ends in just a few more weeks. In some respects, this is a really good thing. I'm really excited about it because I am SO done with school. But on the other hand.... The end of Spring quarter means Ball has to go back to Thailand. Ball and I have been together for a few months now, and neither of us are anywhere near ready for him to go - even if it's just for 3 months.

I'll be taking the math placement test soon (probably next week), and hopefully I'll place into something at least somewhat reasonable. If it's below college-level, which it probably will be, I'll be taking math this summer. SUCKS!!!! I hate math, I love summer, summer is my time to fucking be AWAY FROM ACADEMIC EDUCATION. T^T Getting my AA in business is going to mean 45 math credits.  45!! Wahh college hates me :(

Anyway. Good luck to me *fingers crossed*

Ball will be here soon with a peppermint mocha, so I'm going to finish this up.

Ah, and here comes the sun. :)

I put too much food on my plate...

Yesterday, was a Wednesday. I skipped my anthro class (not a normal thing for me to do) and went to Boulevard with my lovely Ball. We ran into Jordie, and I was happy to see him looking happy and healthy and hear that he's not getting into more trouble. Then after spending some time at Ball's house we headed back to my place and on the drive home I began to think of all things I had going on right now and as soon as I got home I ran into my room and curled up and cried for 20 minutes. The entire time Ball was there comforting me... And to be honest it's the first time I've ever cried in front of a guy aside from my dad and stepdad. Why was a crying? Obvious answer... Stress!!! But it's okay... I let it out, and now I'll take my shit day by day and once summer begins things will calm down a bit... Just 5 more weeks.
But then again, in 5 weeks Ball is going back to Thailand.... So in that way I'm totally completely fucked and I'm totally dreading that.

Moving on. I met a woman name Marillyn this evening and I'm going to start working for her - working with her 8 horses. She lives almost an hour away out by Mt Baker, but its worth the drive and I'm really excited to start doing work with her and her horses. Work at Faith is just tiring as hell, but whatever who cares. Hopefully I'll be able to start riding Miss Skyy more... This coming Monday I have my midterm for anthro and that includes knowing the human/chimpanzee skeleton. I haven't the slightest clue about that, so I better get to studying. But thinking of my schedule from now until Monday evening when I have the class? Yeah. NO TIME TO STUDY. I'm fucked.

Anyways I love Oliver, that lil' dog is the cutest thing in the world and all he ever wants is love and playtime.

That was just a random thought. And now it's almost 11 and I've a long day tomorrow so I'm going to sleep.
