There has been one thing on my mind all week and its happening tomorrow! I'M GOING TO THE HORSE TRACK! This morning I woke up early and texted Uncle Joe to get the information needed to study for the races. He sent me the race forms for the big three races I am to focus on. Tomorrow I will be attending BMW's carnival held at Rosehill Gardens Race Course in Sydney. I have been studying all day and know exactly what horses and races I will be focused on. After studying for a little I decided to look up the etiquette of the local race track and realized I definitely did not have the clothing fit for the course so I strolled down to the local mall to pick up a dress and of course, a new hat. I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve, I keep looking up pictures and thinking about how cute I am going to look tomorrow and dreaming of that husband I will find who owns a racehorse (one of my dreams in life). I have my train planned, my outfit hanging up, jewelry picked out, alarm set, phone on the charger so I'll be able to document this moment and my eyes pealed for Black Caviar. The only thing I am missing are my two horse track junkies, Marykate and Uncle Joe. I wish those two were here with me cause unlike Uncle Joe, Marykate and I win most of the times but we still all have a great time shouting and cheering on our horses (even if it is on Christmas afternoon watching it on a TV). As soon as I get to the grounds I am on a hunt for a paper version of the race forms. I've got my red pen ready and my game face on. I am ready to cheer on my horses and place my bets. I even gave mom an idea for my 21st birthday present today. Most kids ask to go to Vegas or Atlantic City, I want to go to the Kentucky Derby. I think there might be something wrong with me and MK cause as soon as I told her I was going to the track she responded with "I'm so jealous". Sorry mom and Auntie Mary you raised two horse track lovers, we've been betting ever since it was illegal for us through our moms. We'd walk up to the tellers with them and whisper to them our bet "$10 to win on #7" etc. I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight because I am so excited. I am so sorry for the girls going with me tomorrow cause I will be seriously in my element.
Well for now, I am going to finish some studying cause as Uncle Joe said today, "study a little today and hit the books hard tomorrow." Wish me luck on my gambling adventurous in Australia! Love you all so much
