So yesterday I got the chance to have a lesson with an Advanced rider!! Very cool, but a little disheartening. I rode an awesome little school horse named Gin Diamond. He was really, really good. I'd hoped to work on jumping, but the instructor (I'm going to with hold her name for privact reasons) said that my base of support wasn't good enough, so I did flatwork the entire lesson.

Well, I just finished up my summer course at community college, and I have to admit this was my favorite course so far!

It was a film class and we got to see some good movies that I'd never heard of before. So, if anyone is interested, here are the movies from class that I liked and hated:

Liked:

Run Lola Run: I thought the editing in this movie was very original and I LOVED the story and the fast pacing.

Harold and Maude: Okay, I thought...
