One down...now the real challenge begins...

All week, I have been driving the receptions at work mad. I have been waiting for the results of the first module of my diploma. Plus I have gone 4 weeks without the sound of an F1 car buzzing in my ears, so the situation was getting desperate. Thankfully, both of these problems have now been resolved. I was certain my results were getting posted to work, as ths is down as my term time address. In fact, on thursday when a certain vet got to the post first and told me I had a letter, I thought I might ave got them a day early "you will have them by 21st august" I was told. This statement was starting to look decidedly dodgy. On friday, I sat in reception and announced that I was not going to do any work until I had that envelope in my hands. That lasted for about three minutes, by which time I had 4 people waiting to see me. I'm sure I had a larger list than the vets that morning, it never seemed to end, but I digress...
I checked my emails; nothing. Post at work arrived; nothing. 'I'm going to have to wait for the whole weekend' I thought, and that just wasn't fair. I wanted my results...now.
when I eventually made it home on friday, there was a large white envelope waiting for me , with RVC stamped all over it. It took me a whole 10 minutes to open that envelope. I needed to know how I had done, but what if I had failed? I had built myelf up for 2 yearsof hard work ahead, but if I had failed this module that would be it, all over, no diploma.
Thankfully, I do have a long 2 years ahead. not only had I passed, I had passed with a distinction, I could not have hoped for anything better!! I now have 6 more modules to contend with, and have set the bar for the standard I know I can reach.
I could soon be putting my racing career wheels in motion too. I have looked at the application packs for the racing licences, found out where the nearest test centre is, how much it costs etc. Plus, I have a friend who is interested in us racing together. we have worked out that we could finance a couple of cars between us (a mini for her, a caterham for me). She already holds her racing licence, so I need to catch up!
What's even better is that my boys in silver have achieved a front row lock out in qualifying for tomorrows European Grand Prix. This weekend just keeps on getting better. Maybe things are starting to look up after all....
