On my bed, in a state of shock!

I’m sitting here with a piece of paper that says “Standard Achieved” and I can’t quite believe it. I passed – somehow. I don’t think I deserved to, my riding was not up to scratch, but Greg (our examiner) felt it was and felt that all I needed was more mileage.

I should be ecstatic, but I’m not – I feel like it was a little unfair. I don’t think I deserved to pass, yet others didn’t pass and definitely deserved to. I feel like luck had a bit too much of a role to play in this.

Anyway, I’m off out to celebrate with some champagne and pizza – I’ll write a proper entry tomorrow!
