Gyrating Possum
I did two weeks of working in a stables.
And no, it wasn't "aww cute horseys go neighneigh". I was working 8 till 6 mucking out horses stables (which I found fairly satisfying) leading horses to fields, picking up poo from fields, tacking up horses for spoilt brats to ride and anything involving horse manure.
Basically 10 hours of manual labour a day when you are 15 is a bit of a shock. Especially when you put down you want to do something related to art.
I did get to ride once, which was ok. Seeing as I had been riding for about two years it was alright in that respect But with a mild fear of horses, going into a strange horses stable with it in there and mucking it out was unnerving.
For my next work experience two years later, I did something a bit more easy - I joined a volunteer drama group and put on shows at schools. Was alright, although there was a kid with ADHD in our group and man, he was a handful to work with. Still, good people skills.
Work experience is fun.
My boyfriend arranged his to work with his mum.
His mum works at home, as a childminder.
