metamorphosis

tomorrow is a big free outdoor concert. they have it here every year. i'm psyched to see seven nations and the get-up kids, but nobody else really tickles my fancy. i dunno, jimmie's chicken shack might be ok. ooh ooh, and i can't miss bubba sparxxx! sike. wilco is the headliner; i've never even heard of them. can anyone fill me in? the day should be interesting, if nothing else.
i had an awful experience yesterday while i was teaching a riding lesson. as this one guy [isaac] was cantering around the ring, his horse tripped and proceeded to fall face first into the dirt, falling over on his side and almost rolling over. so of course, isaac falls off and barely misses getting rolled on by the horse. so the horse jumps up and starts to trot off, but isaac's foot is stuck in the stirrup, and he's getting dragged in the dirt. luckily, the horse stopped rather than taking off. i almost had a heart attack. luckily, both of them were ok. if any rider, or horse, ever got hurt on my watch, i would be absolutely devastated. that pretty much secured the fact that i'm not going to teach anymore after i leave here in 3 weeks. i can't deal with that kind of responsibility, it makes me so uncomfortable. plus i just don't have what it takes to be a teacher; i don't feel like i can explain anything right. oh well, it was fun while it lasted, and all the kids i taught seemed to learn a lot, even though i wonder how sometimes.
