The World According To Madeleine

I guess I better get going, because so much has happened since the last time I updated. I don’t know where I should start though.

This summer I only went to one horse show. It was very fun, and my first show in the main ring. I did amazing schooling with Katie, exept for when I fell off and broke the fence. oops. Once it had been fixed, I started again and was fine. Showing was pretty good, Alaska spooked at a fence because she had to jump into shadows, but I got her over every other time. We only got one 6th place ribbon, but I was proud of myself and got several reserves from the judge.

On another riding note, I went to the chiropracter and my back has been feeling much better and I’m riding pain-free, which has made so much of a difference in being able to ride correctly.

Marching band has also started, and band camp was very fun, except that I was sick for the first couple of days. I ended up puking at arby’s, and once in the dorm after breakfast. Aside from that, our show got put together very well, mostly due to the fact that our director changed the way she teaches. It’s nice to actually be good at our show, but seriously,  I don’t think she had to change everything that was possible. I hate it, and so do a lot of other people.

I also dyed my hair purple after waiting the whole summer for the blue to wash out. I would have a picture, but my computer is being very annoying and not letting me upload it.

We also went to Arizona, and that was very fun. We spent a lot of time just around Nanny’s house, and explored a creek we never had been to before. We also spent a lot of time kayaking and on the quads, which I got to drive a lot more this year because I have my permit. We were going to try to go to mexico, but climbing through the border had to suffice. And sadly, I don’t know if wee’ll be able to do that anymore, because there is going to be a virtual fence put in.

School starts on tuesday. I’m excited because my classes are pretty good, and this is my last year before I can go off campus to take and EFE or EFA. It will also be very cool to get to see everyone everyday, and I can’t wait for PAC to start. I’ll have cross country practice everyday after school for a while, which I actually get to run this year.

Today is earth day, and really the only thing I have to say about it is that I forgot that it was today, and I really haven’t been very festive this earth day, except for complain about other people wasting energy in this movie I saw today in computing, and then there was my teacher talking about what washing machines would be like in the future. They sound like they should take up an entire house, forcing people to tear down trees to feed their laziness, and then once they can actually use this completely unnecessary and frivolous piece of machinery, they’ll end up using as much energy to wash their clothes as an average family uses in a year.

I also hate microsoft, it’s the devil. We watched another movie about Bill Gate’s last day of work, they tried really, really hard to be funny, I could just see the strain in their eyes, just hoping, that what they say might draw a chuckle. Unfortunatly, there was a reason they work for microsoft and don’t act, so it wasn’t very funny at all. It actually just made me mad, that and the video we watched, everything new and revolutionary that would help us live our lives fuller and happier, we have on our mac, and it looks cooler. I hope their computers crash.

Oh yeah, and speaking of computers, remember when I was taking down the establishment? Anyways, gmail must have shown up in my history or something, because ever since then they’ve been recording what I’m doing, which is another mistake they made, they can’t catch me doing anything if I know I’m being watched. Way to have that icon in the corner guys. Anyway, our tech director for pac lost our email addresses, so Mr. Nott had us email him, at school, but forgot that email sites were blocked. So he gave us permission to use proxys, and I was being watched. I’m expecting that my account should be shut down tommaorw.

During spring break, the band is going to go to Florida and we’re going to march on Main Street in Disney. We have to learn our music, and not everybody is going, so we’re learning our music before school. Today was our first practice, we had to be at the school at 6:30 in the morning, I’m not a morning person, so it was interesting. However, it is an okay way to start the day, the music got my adrenaline going, so I woke up prety quikly.  Now I’m really hyper, and I’m going to crash here pretty soon.

Does anyone have igoogle? If you have gmail, then you can add a section that has your most recent emails in your inbox.

 Unfortunatly, gmail is blocked on the school computers, but, since I keep finding loopholes and such in the school computer system, that I found a way around the blocked gmail situation.

You can get to gmail through igoogle, but I don’t know why it makes a difference, I’ll try to find out how later, maybe ask Scott or something.

I did go home, then slept for about five hours, then yesterday we had a snow day, and I slept until twelve.

Later in the day I went to Anna’s house and we watched a movie and just generally hung out at her house. It was a lot of fun.

 When I went home I re-dyed my hair blue, I was tired of having not blue hair, and this time it turned out really well (thanks mom!). Will I ever be able to go back to not colored hair? Will I ever post some pictures? Who knows… who knows….

I must be a faster typer, because I wrote that pretty quickly, but then again, it wasn’t very long.

p.s. I’ll try to get some pictures on

I feel like crap, I’m going home after this class.

I started feeling horrible after PAC districts, which we did wonderful at. We went one minute and thirty seconds over the allowed time and we still got a one! We’ll have to win regionals to go on to state, I think we can do it, or at least give the other schools some compitition.

I hope that I didn’t get other people sick….
