After a weekend watching stallions from early dawn to late at night at what is best described as a complete breeding bonanza, it was kind of contrast filled to return to Oslo on Sunday night and have to sit down and finish an assignment on the possible effects of the US stimuli package.
Herning was absolutely fantastic. It was my first time and I was utterly impressed. And slightly lost at times I have to admit, due to the sheer size of it all. But it was utterly inspiring to see so many nice horses and good riders showing off. It made me want to get back in the game so to speak.
But after four hours sleep and a couple of cups of coffee I was getting stuck back into macroeconomic models and how to tackle the financial crisis. And although I clearly was desperate for some sleep I was rather enjoying it.
Almost as much as I enjoyed watching the Grand Prix kür in Herning on Saturday. And that is my problem. One is not enough. In the last three weeks since I have been back to school so to speak I have been walking around with a great big smile on my face. Yes I am desperately behind schedule because I had to work my notice before joining and it is kind of stressful to have literally thousands of pages to go through in just a few weeks, but I love it. I love learning how the world works. And I really enjoyed trying to figure out whether the US stimuli package was a good idea or not.
So although I have been feeling worryingly stressed in the last few weeks I have decided to try and focus on the good stuff. The fact that I am allowed to do the two things I really enjoy: Learn and write. And try to make the most of it.
There will be plenty of time to worry about the fact that I don’t have a job and don’t exactly seem to be attracting anything with even remotely boyfriend potential.
Sitting outside in the sun today with a cup of coffee and a paper on foreign aid and growth it really didn’t matter.
Life is kind of good.
