i'll do what i can so you can do what you have to

I finally made my decision about school. I decided to switch to OHVA and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm taking digital photography and editing, psychology, French, American lit, earth science, and a couple more that I can't remember off the top of my head. x3 My electives are both one semester long so one comes after the other one. I'm especially excited about the photography class. They teach us how to edit our pictures on gimp and stuff. I also found out that one of the only people from Ohdela in my class that I knew (he switched to public school last year) has also switched to OHVA so he might be in some of my classes which is cool.

Of course I have become very much aware this means no lessons. Timmy's talking about football, Sarah's talking about dance class... But that was the only good thing about Ohdela. The money for lessons. But in OHVA I'll be able to join clubs and go on field trips. Hopefully that'll balance it out, I just have to deal with the fact that I won't be taking dance lessons or riding lessons or anything like that, anytime soon. If ever, at this point. lol.

Speaking of riding, I dont think I like my blog name anymore. A while back I mentioned this and somebody asked me what kind of die-hard equestrian gave up. But I don't see horses in my future anymore. Horses involve lots and lots of money. Which I don't have. I used to know people who could let me do volunteer work in exchange for riding time but they dont have horses anymore, most likely from financial problems. Its a sport for rich people. I used to know a family who had a daughter who raises Dutch Warmbloods, but not only have I not had any contact with that family for over a year, I also was never allowed to really do anything there anyways, since the horses were giant and young. So yeah... some kind of die-hard I am. I still love horses and if somebody offered me a job or I happened to find a barn I could go to, I would do it. But I dont have money for horse stuff. But you know what I do have? A camera. And photography is my best bet. It's what I want to do. I know I'm not the greatest at this point but with that class from school, I could learn a lot and get better.

So yeah, I ended up rambling there but I've been thinking about changing my blog name and link (again, lol) I just can't think of anything good enough. >_<

Your future is too vast and full of opportunity for you to not see anything in it.

It will be what you want it to be. Use your camera to make the money needed for horsemanship. Use your other skills, do what needs to be done.

It's up to you.
