So, this day next week I will be in my last riding lesson at my current barn...the next day I will be flying to another province, as I need to go to another province to do  a pre-vet degree.

So while I am still excited, the nervousness and fear are starting to seep in. Everything is changing, and while I am ready, I am starting to feel scared, and sad, since I will be leaving my friends behind, my current barn and my current job.

I don't have a place/horse to ride secured yet, as I still need lessons, so when I get up there and get settled I am going to look for either lessons, or a lease that includes lessons as I still need them, so my comfort/stress reliver will be missing for a few weeks...ontop of that, I am leaving my good friends behind, and even though I have a friend going to the same school, and one not far away, it is still hard.

I currently have to work around loans and need to get a new job. Becasue I haven't worked in my new job for a year, I am unable to get a transfer, so I have to re-apply to a store up there, or maybe I'll try to get a stable hand position or something...I really don't know at this point.

Since this is more of me just posting my feeling again, what advice do you guys have to give a student going off on there own for the first time, living in res.
