Well, I told you that Kay is trying out for the national equestrian team, right? I went to her house that one time and her room was decorated with trophies. Kay told me that her mom used to be a show jumper, but never had the opportunity to try out for the national team like Kay does now, so she encouraged her to do it. She's so good she HAS to make it. Seriously. She's got to, or there's no fairness.
Oh and one more thing I found out about the national team. Prince Sebastian (Vanderburg), heir to the throne, is on the Simlympic committee. He tried to qualify for the last Simlympics in swimming but the queen put a stop to it, so even though he's now heir to the throne, he's keeping himself involved in sports. Which means that Princess Alexandra, his half-sister and 3rd in line to the throne after Prince Sebastian and his newborn son, Prince Emmanuel, is probably assured of one of the three open spots. I was surprised to learn she's a decent rider. Not as good as Kay but she's better than I am, lol.
These days, when Kay isn't hanging out with Amberly, she's practicing for the trials coming up.
She's been using the facility's horses to train but plans to use her own in competition. She's trying to decide between using her unicorn, Shadow Dancer, and her mother's jumper, Epiphany.
In fact, the only time I've been spending with Kay lately is when I've been taking pics of her training sessions. She asked me to, and I obliged.
She wants to put them up on a website and send them to Cammie and Sierra. 
The horse she's using in this training session is an Arabian stallion called Faris.
The national team tryouts are going to be held at this nearby show jumping course called the Grand Prix. I took a look at it, and it looks like a challenge. There are all these hills around it.
I haven't actually thought about what would happen if she actually MADE the team. I know she's a rising senior and will graduate this coming term, and we had planned to have a blast together. If she makes the team, that's probably not going to happen, as competitions and traveling will take her far away. So, I have mixed feelings about all this. For one, I'm happy for her that she's getting this chance, it really is the chance of a lifetime for her. I can't begrudge her that. She's worked too hard and been doing this for far too long and fully deserves it. The other thing is, though, I kinda miss having my best friend. She hasn't even as much as acknowledged that I got here after all that's happened at home. I mean, I can't blame her cause she's been so busy but still, it hurts a little. I don't want to sound like I'm jealous or possessive or anything. Okay, maybe I am a little jealous. I need to get rid of this feeling because it stinks. It doesn't feel good to feel like this. It's not me, I hate this.
I think I need to stop writing here and go do something.
Love, Sage
