Last weekend was comparably tame to my usual activities. Rode Max on Friday then headed down to the county to Diane's house to study for the GREs while she had dinner with her Mom and Stepdad. Saturday morning I did some more GRE studying. This may seem excessive but I haven't taken a math class since Calc 1 sophomore year at SMCM and, believe me, Ivan's 8AM Calc class was NOT one the more informative uses of my time!! Saturday afternoon I attempted to go to the pool at SMCM which, according to the website, was SUPPOSED to be open until Monday June 1. Not so much. It was, in fact, drained. EPIC FAIL on the part of the Athletic Center! Instead, I biked 18 miles (42 minutes, avg speed 22.5 mph) then immediately ran 3.2 (23:30 minutes, 7:40 mph)- 10 minutes off my time from last week!! If I manage to pull my swim together, I should be GOLDEN for the IronGirl Tri in August!! Saturday night Diane and I made fajitas and chilled. Sunday we headed to Brandywine to grab Max and head to PG Equestrian Center- armed and prepared with mimosas :-) What a LONG day! We didn't finish up at the show until about 6:30- Max was forward but seems to have developed something with not wanting to take big spots to the jumps. And he now hates his bit. Hmmm... back to the drawing board. Unfortunately my cell phone ended up in Diane's purse instead of my camera bag, so I had to drive to the county to get it after dropping off Max.
This week has been NUTS so far. I have Londontowne Symphony Orchestra rehearsals on Mon, Wed, and Fri. Plus McLean Symphony Orchestra rehearsal last night (Tuesday). Tomorrow morning I am going to look at an apartment, tomorrow afternoon I take the GREs (DAGGER!!!). Tomorrow night I'm going with Sam to sit in her boss' season seats for D.C. United W00T!! I managed to swim Monday and ride on Tuesday. I was asked after LSO rehearsal on Monday if I wanted to be the principle percussionist. Of course, I accepted, while explaining that I MAY be headed to England in September. Speaking of that, I have to pick my classes for next year by tomorrow (even though I haven't decided if I'm going for sure)... EEP!!!!!
