So tomorrow is my last day as a working pupil. It's been a pretty tough, intense 6 months but I've learned a huge amount, mainly about how important it is to get a work/life balance because living with your boss is a reeeeeeaaaallly bad idea ( Read more... )

Those closest to me will know that I went through a really bad patch earlier this year where I quit my MA and lost quite a few friends. I'm so glad I did and got through all that effing rubbish! There's just one thing I regret but that person knows what I mean and thankfully we're still ok. Other than that everything has been great. I've learned ( Read more... )

When I started riding Fred in February I hadn't ridden for about 3 years. I haven't had any flatwork lessons with him at all, just the cross country schooling we did with Jonathan Chapman.

*Sigh* one exam to go...I'm not worried about it though. The hard ones have been and gone. Our flat for next year is ours pretty much as of tomorrow, which rocks. It's tiny but I don't think I'll be in for much of the time, since all my classes next year are in London. Oh well! Saves me getting pissed off with our flatmates. I've lived with them ( Read more... )
