What a week. I start my final week of work experience
tomorrow, and can’t believe how quickly it’s gone.
As I mentioned in my last post on riding, it’s a time for me
to reflect and gain some clarity on the things that have been chasing round my
head in the week.
We went out today as it was getting dark, so I decided to
take Ernest around the woods at the back of the stables. I love this time of
day, as it’s peaceful and quiet, and there are deer normally wandering around.
True to form, Ernest and I saw four deer. I was lost in my thoughts about the
week to come, during which I have a super important interview, when we turned on to a different path and
there, stood in the middle, was a stag.
I love these animals; I find them so graceful, and enjoy
watching them jump over the undergrowth. We see them so often in the woods that
Ernest doesn’t even jump when he sees them now! It was a pleasant way to be
jerked out of my thoughts and appreciate the beautiful autumnal scene. The
floor is carpeted completely at the moment with orange and brown leaves, making
a very satisfying crunching noise when walked on.
This coming week will be all about preparation. My mum
kindly bought me a new shirt and new trousers, both from Next, to really stand
out in my interview, so at least I can go there looking professional even if inside
I’m a bag of nerves!
