Heck of a Half-Term Holiday!!!

My holiday was very boring. I stayed in Ugnda, and not just places like Jinja or Entebbe, I stayed in Kampala and spent the whole weekend cooking with my mom. In the mornings we would make oatmeal and eggs (but mostly oatmeal because my mom said it was healthy). For lunch we would have Mac and cheese, spaghetti and tomato sauce or noodles. Though the three were my top 3 favorite foods, I kept on wishing that the first day back to school would come because I was getting pretty sick and tired of my mom and our cooking. And that was only the first three days! On the 4^th, my mom decided to meet the neighbors in D9- I live in D4. In D9 lived 2 girls, a mom, an aunt and a maid. The 2 girls went to Aga Khan. One was 8 and one was 4. They’re names will now be disguised as Ashley (older) and Madeline (younger). Of course my mom wasn’t going to leave me alone at home. So, I had to go with her. I did not like the visit one BIT! First of all, the 4 year old could NOT stop talking and the 8 year constantly asked me to read for her. I had no choice but to read. My mom forced me to go to Ashley and Madeline’s room. The book Ashley wanted me to read was a REALLY short fairytale book, Thumbelina. It had really big words like this font size (36).

The girls pretended that I was the teacher and they were the students along with their stuffed animals. As I figured, Madeline would just be talking and talking. I imagined that she was exercising her mouth to entertain myself. But that didn’t help. As soon as dawn came, I was SO relieved that I never had to go back to their house. For the rest of the week, I stayed home and continued eating my mom’s oatmeal, Mac and Cheese and Noodles.

Funny Horse-riding Stories

Story #1: So when we are done setting up our horse we always bring it out of the stables and wait until everything is ready. Once my horse just walked away on to the arena! I should have taken more care.

Story# 2: I was riding the horse and I wanted to do a jump. The jump was small but
next to it there was a bigger jump. So I headed for the small one but my horse jumped the big one next to it and I wasn’t ready so I fell off! It was so scary! I should have steered better, now I know for next time!

Story# 3: We had just come back from a hack and we were still on our horses and my horse saw its food in its stable and walked right in with me on my back. I should have been in better control because I hit my head on the way in!

Story #4: We were on a hack and we started cantering, in front of me there was my sister and she was riding an ex- racehorse so he liked to go extra fast. Usually horses like follow what the horse in front of them is doing, so my horse went at the same speed as the ex-racehorse.... and that is fast! I wasn’t ready to go that fast and I nearly fell off! It was so scary!!
