The Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts with a Single Step

Well, this is it. I found out in September that I was accepted as a 'Working Student', now referred to as 'Entry Level Resident', and in November was awarded a partial scholarship for the 4-week course- 'Fast Track' (which begins July 4th).
This has been my dream for the past 3, almost 4 years, now. I've been studying this program- Parelli Natural Horsemanship (www.parelli.com) - for the past 5. I'm hoping, and will do everything in my power, to become an 'Extern' then 'Intern' (Freshman and Sophomore of "normal" colleges).
This blog for the next long while will be my way to let y'all know how it's all going: from getting all my tack and gear together, to how I manage (with God's help) to get all the money together, where the relationship with my 4-legged partner, Maliki, is and finally how it is to leave home and really strike out on my own to live my dream. Yeah, I went to Canada for 3 months, but even that was to help with getting a spot at this place.
I'm not sure exactly how long I'll be there, shoot, I'm not even sure exactly when I'm leaving or what my "ultimate" goal is. But I do know this is where I've wanted to be for a long time. So here's to the journey :)
