flying changes

yay!

I’m happy to be home. Happy to be back with my family and Dalton more than anything, really.

Other than that, a few ups and downs here and there in life but learning is something that never stops. I’m really fighting hard to break out of this shell of immaturity. There have been loads of hard knocks along the way and i’m sure quite a few more to come. It sucks in the moment but i suppose over time, the feeling will pass.

So yeah, a little deflated amidst the excitement but tomorrow is a new day (literally, duh) and I will work through it.

here’s to a happy (in other words filled with Godly satisfaction) summer!

I haven’t seen you in four months. I guess life has other plans for both of us. You have no idea how much i’ve done in school but I know exactly how much you’ve jumped, who’s been lucky enough to be on your back, the number of people whose ass you’ve saved and the number of  people you’ve been so patient with and tried so hard for. I hope they haven’t annoyed you too much. You look thinner in your photos from when i left in january and it hurts seeing you like that. You’re such a star. Ex olympian and best equal riding horse featuring in no less than 5 newspaper articles and news features.. I’m glad there have been a few people around to love you but you still mean the most to me, ever since that one saturday morning in early 2011.  It was you who carried me back into showjumping and I who jumped you first since the YOG. It’s sad, how you went lame for the first time in 18 months when I came back from the states last year.. and up till today, we haven’t had a chance to get back in the game together.  I really really do pray that nobody takes you away from me again this summer. It just really isn’t the same when it’s not you. “Because somewhere along the line, you always loose your heart to some very great horses.” You are one of them to me. You’re not particularly flashy and fancy. Your talent is one thing but that enormous heart beating within your chest makes you that much more outstanding. If only you could understand all this.. anyway, I miss you. See you soon :)

Treble

The 3 big written papers are over. The OSCEs are over and though i’m worried about the VPCS MCQ to determine whether or not my summer plans are ruined, i’m feeling good because i think passing everything else should not be an issue.

My mother messages me every day to check on me and I know that without her prayers every morning, I wouldn’t have had the strength to stay up till the wee hours of the morning, revisiting topics learned from the first day of vet school, I just can’t believe it. It’s just so unreal that first year might already be coming to a close.

God has been good to me. And all i want is to do Him proud..

Tomorrow is Saturday and the final gallop to the anatomy exam will finally be underway.

I’m never gonna forget that feeling when i came back from lambing and thought “Oh. Goodness…” when i made that study checklist. But somehow found it within myself to decide that the sooner I started to hack away through it, the better it would pay off because no time spent studying is wasted. And thankfully that proved true this week. Anatomy has already been studied. The hard work from 3 weeks ago will make these four days easier.

i’m not aiming to pass anymore. because i’m actually aiming to score for this one..

Go the distance

I feel like i’m reliving that hype from exam season over christmas. As of today, that’s 4 exams down and 4 to go. 

Go The Distance is officially my exam time boost and inspiration. 

The prayer offers from my mom and those dear to me are holding me strong through this period. I’m worried i might have failed VPCS, but it doesn’t matter now because what’s done is done i know i can find that extra strength to do well for the next few.

Where ever you lead me is where ever I shall go :)

Because i know i’ll always have a friend in you.

Because i know i’ll always have a friend in you.

I think everybody’s feeling the bite. And I am extremely extremely concerned that I may have to come back for a resit.

I’m scared.

It really is a beautiful friday afternoon. One of the earliest and most sunny fridays in spring and i’m indoors at the vet school at 5pm working through exam questions and stressing over a topic i performed best in last semester.

I need a really big confidence boost right now. December was tough but it feels tiny compared to this.

I guess today would be one of those times to grit my teeth and summon the extra strength within my body.

The clock is ticking and I want to regret nothing.

My butt has been planted in the vet school library for the last 4.5 hours. I didn’t move and i’m so super proud of myself! Yes, i took breaks and such but i covered neurophysiology from top to toe. I guess that and all the revision from this morning constitutes to a good day’s revision.

I shall be satisfied now and not utter a single complaint in this post. Something which i’m always quite prone to doing..

I shall crack on with some exam questions tomorrow morning! 

I’m just really excited for all this to be over in a month’s time where i can have some peace and quiet before going home. I miss you, home!

God please be with me
