vervet_monkeyi hate not having a window in my bathroom. It means i have to dry my towels in my room which means i have to leave the window open to stop the room smelling damp which means its cold.
Riding this afternoon was quite good fun. I think I may actually need to move up to the advanced lesson. The intermediate one was... well i was the only one that actially managed to canter. I actually was quite impressed with myself, i got outline and everthing. They put me on the littlest horse to begin with but quickly changed there minds and made me and another girl swap. Which meant I ws on this giant of a horse. Who they told me didn't really like other horses. But he was well enough behaved. It was only a half hour lesson, so it was over really too quickly. But next week is an hour, coz his week was just assesment.
SJA was kinda a non event. All the new people are doing their basic first aid course. All the exsisting people are sorting duties and uniforms and voting on commiotees and all stuff that you kinda have to know the unit to do. Then theres us 5 transfres who are just kinda sat in the middle watching everything around us. But hopefully once all the stuff has been sorted in a couple of weeks it will all be ok. The other transferrs seem quite nice. There is one who was obivously quite involved at her home county and seems to have forgotten that actually she isn't here and maybe should take a step back. Shes a typical sja 'family' kid. Parents run the county, so she's been brought up in SJA. But the others seem really nice. And shes ok.
Microscopy practical today. I hate binocular microscopes. They amke my eyes go funny. I'm v glad that I've been taught how to use and draw from a microscope though. We had 2 and a hlaf hours of lab time and 6 specimins to draw. We used ot have that many in 50 minutes! So it was nice and easy and quick and i could get on to the write up. Which also meant i could get away as quickly as possible as it was a bit of a rush to get back, change, eat and go out again.
Oh, and catching the bus and walking across campus and waiting for a lift in your riding gear is not so fun!
