Stay on your toes. Keep your elbows in. Don’t be afraid. You may be smaller, but just gather your courage, and when you hit, hit hard.

Happenings


This week has been insane! I keep thinking I will have time to do actual school work, but all the fun school work/work/volunteer stuff keeps getting in the way. On Wednesday I got to try my hand at splitting cow embryos. That was way cool! There is this little joystick thing that controls the razor blade. You have to do it under a microscope so you can see the embryo really well. We were working with old embryos...apparently they don't want us students messing up the $1,000+ embryos. I think my hand would be shaking then. Also, we preg checked our seven mares and found out 5 of them are pregnant. So that's pretty good for our little podunk operation. I had a good day today though, I got to jump a little on the horse I'm working with for a class. He is a dream to jump. He knows his job perfectly. Plus I'm seeing more and more of his personality come out. Now on to the homework rush and teaching myself the last two weeks of stats! Yay!

Ta-da!


So I've started a blog because when I go to the Bluegrass State I do not want to have to worry about sending everyone updates. So this way you can check it whenever and I do not fill up your Inbox. Yay! So it's 14 days before I leave and I've still got a lot to do before I can leave. I think it's ironic because I had to do my finals from LCCC (Laramie County Community College) up here at BYU-Idaho when I first moved up here, and now I am going to be e-mailing some back when I go to Kentucky.
