So with the way the module system works up at Stirling, I had one last chance to pick any random subject I liked before I start doing Psychology modules exclusively. Continuing with Linguistics was out because it had specialised so only English undergrads could pick it and I didn't really fancy starting a new subject... so I decided to go out on a limb and choose the work experience module.
Before things got started, we had to 'apply' for our placements. One of the major draws of the module for me was that their was a link with the Bannockburn Riding for the Disabled Association, a charity which specialises in riding therapy for disabled children and adults. I sent off my choices and when I heard back, it was one of those wonderful times where the universe does me a solid (previous examples include getting accepted to study abroad at the University of Victoria and whenever I make it to the bus stop on time) because I was given the BRDA as my placement!
Slight issue: I had zero experience with horses.
