Those promises I didn't keep

1. Have a 80 average. (wonk wonk WONK)
2. Get a job. (check)
3. Regular curfew (see reaction to number 1)
4. No more Mobile (again, see reaction to number 1)
5. Keep room clean (check... kind of)
6. Pay mum back (for the third time, see number 1)

Yeah... I think all of it lasted, like, a week. Maybe. You know the typical "I'm 16 and I know it all. I have what I wanted, I don't need to work for it now" 16 yo mentality. Yeah... no. It didn't get me far at all. I got involved with people with horrible morals and they are the reason I took a break from riding. One day, I'll blog about that. 

In February, I pulled my head out from under the rock. I pulled my grades up to honor roll status, got another job, started being in at 11ish, I no longer go to Mobile unless I NEED to, and I am setting aside money from all my paychecks to pay my mum back. I completely did a 180. Perhaps a 540 would be more suiting...

It's my senior year. SENIOR YEAR!! I have wanted to be a horse trainer my entire life, and dammit, now is the time to start doing something about it. My grades and my ability to ride a horse is directly related to being a trainer. Now is the time to learn and be, not time to party. Yeah, I'll go to the senior activities like Homecoming and a few games, but I still have to put the horses first. I won't miss a ride (or two or three or eight) just because of a football game or a dance. No. That is not fair to anyone involved in this, and certainly not fair to Tor. 

I mean business. This is real. And it's happening. 

Really, this time, I AM going to Burger King and then I'm going to sleep. Really...
