vervet_monkey Blah blah blah haven't done a life post in ages and have exams so procrastinating!
Still working at a school in Southampton as teaching assistant. Or more often crowd control... Although I have had a few good days when working on the upper site, especially working with the year 11's on their coursework. Today however was hellish. Supply teacher so I guess you can work out how well behaved the kids were! It's so frustrating, they really don't care and just want to spend all there time doing anything but working!
Riding has been frustrating recently too. Lots of jumping but for some reason I seem to have got it into my head that I can't do it (unless I'm riding Toby). And I know the rest of my lesson want to do it and I'm holding them back, but I'm just not comfortable with it and its getting to the point that I think I can't ride. Am going to spend the day at the yard on Wednesday though, with free reign to ride the ponies (and possibly the horses too...) so see how it goes!
Preparations for Belize pretty much sorted. Just got to order malaria tablets this week and book hotel at the airport and we'll be good to go. Can't wait, exams always give the hugest itchy feet!
Conservation is finished for the year now, except for the resi after exams. Don't think I did too much wrong in my first term of in-charge-ness so hopefully all will run smoothly next year too. Having said that me and the treasurer did spend ages going through the budget form yesterday and getting nowhere, so we'll see!

Teaching assistant with year 11s... yeah you're braver than me!
Hope you have a good day at the yard tomorrow. I'm sure you'll get back to being comfortable with riding, it sounds like you've had your confidence shaken a little for whatever reason and you just need to rebuild it.
Love you sweetie <3

Date: 2010-05-18 08:43 pm (UTC)I have exams until 10th June, and then a break and one last exam on 16th June so we could either fit something in that gap or anything after the 16th until you leave.
Any specific days that work best for you?
