Born in Sg, survived seven years of IJ, escaped to canada for the miraculous rebirth.. likes to say she found self there, But well when can we reach self actualization? now a waterloo student. 110% horse mad, was practically born on the back of a horse ( or rather wishes she was) horses are my favourite thing.

Ride, clean, feed, cook, rinse and repeat

It has been one week since i have been here...

Here are the characters
me
Marget- Southern girl, with thick southern accent, yeah with the y'alls , conservative but not ultra or in your face

Elizabeth- Hippy, liberal type, very stephanie-ish

Alex- All-round nice girl, not mean in anyway, very socialable and knowledgable, 1/2 canadian, 1/2 america

And no, i do not feel 100% connected to these people... i do not know why and am trying hard not to care too much or obsess do much about... but really it is slowly killing me inside. I just want to feel like i godamn BELONG.

We work hard everyday.... 7.30am to 5.30pm mon-sat, just morning cores on sundays. I feel so exhausted from working so much,feeding grooming, riding, cleaning, washing, miscellaneous tasks like cleaning the cobwebs from the old barn which was filthy, and VERY dusty, instead of cleaning the guest house and feeling like a fricken chamber maid.... btw i did not come here to be a chamber maid... i came here to work with horses. But it IS the hospitality industry and Carol sucks ups to her guests, she charmed the pants off my parents. I am surprised.... she NEEDS to treat her staff better... i mean, really, why do i always get stuck with the sucky bosses, first the asshole from my first waitressing job, then this.... someone who needs a little more warmth towards the help!!! i MEAN, we are working for nothing, and even shelling over $300.... for room and board for 6 weeks. I love horses... and that is why i do it.... i don't really care much for carol, i just wish she were a bit warmer and friendly to her staff.

5 weeks left....

It;s been about 3 weeks since i last posted.....
Lots has happened, ended school, debated about going to Nova scotia cos of the whole swine flu business..

Well i AM here now, at Beaver dam, BELIEVE it or not. The place is pretty nice, nova scotia is breathakingly beautiful. Why didn't i research schools here?? anyway, the fjords here are ADORABLE. All duns with sticking up manes and all rather short and stout hovering around 13-14hh. They're rather individualistic, with distinct personalities, either very willing to move or NOT willing to move at all. Although very very cute horses.

Watched my sister's graduation, you could say it did push me to succeed and to graduate like that, to become a fricking UNIVERSITY graduate at last. It was a moving ceremony, and in hopefully 3 yrs time, that WILL be me.

And here i am, just soaking in the experiences.... old or new.
