And So It Begins...

So, I decided to avert a portion of my loan to a different source with a lower interest rate, so take that Dad! That being said, it still needs paid off.

I realized I had more money saved than I thought I did after Uncle Sam cashed my student loan check. This made my weekend a bit brighter.

I gave 4 lessons this weekend. One of these was a new student. I LOVE this girl. She is reserved yet very sweet and VERY focused on learning. She did everything I asked of her with her intent of doing it right. As an instructor this is your dream student. She also only had to be told something once and would remember it. One of my long time students was opposite this particular weekend. I never quite know who I will get when she comes. Sometimes she is focused and ready to learn, other times she is really hyper and hard to get focused, and other times is really tired and a little crabby. This time she happened to be in fairytale land for the first 45 minutes of her lesson (and I do mean some other planet) and then I finally snapped her out of her "out of mind experience" only to be greeted with a crabby 8 year old child for the remaining 15 minutes. Go figure!

Oh well, overall my lessons went very well and I feel like my students walked away with some very achievable goals to work on if the weather cooperates for the next 2 weeks for them.

Friday my Dad, Mom and I are leaving for Corvallis. We are watching the OSU/WSU football game, which happens to be on my birthday, and then maybe going out for dinner with them and a group of my friends that night. Then I get to drive home while they fly out to Mexico Monday.

Then my busyness begins. I then have 2 weeks to work and do homework and continue memorizing and learning the dog and horse muscle groups, and then off to Thanksgiving. Then the weekend after Thanksgiving my Mom, Dad and Oldest Sister and I have Club Seat tickets to the Civil War in Corvallis (Dec. 4th). Then Finals week, then off to Virginia for my Massage Course. Then Christmas, New Years, and then FINALLY things will settle back down.

Phew my Fall/Early Winter are going to be busy! But I wouldn't have it any other way.
