"If it meant as much to me as it did to you maybe you would have let it go to fly away..."

So...

I got to help castrate a Ram Lamb today. We just used the elastrator (The rubber band like dealie that goes around it's testicles). And then we docked two Eu Lambs, one with the elastrator (Neville put the first on in the right spot, them the rest of us did it below his). I got to do the first and only one the the Ram Lamb. Pretty freaking proud of myself. And then on the second Eu Lamb we used this cutt-y-ma-jig and cut it off. You could hear the bones and everything, it was a tad gross...

After Vet. Sci. I had welding with Neville, again, and Heather came in so I took her into Kenny's trailer to see the lambs and she's all "Oh my god, there's blood everywhere... I want out!" after I told her about the docking.

Kenny's bringing in three of his older Eu's and we're going to draw blood on them. I hate doing that, but I'll be alright.

So... I was at the house and my mom was asking about Easter and stuff and I was like "Well, it doesn't really matter, I mean, I won't be here." because State(FFA) is during Easter. So... Yeah. And She's like "Oh, yeah, Okay. Well, what do you want, anyways?" "I don't really care, you can get me whatever you want. =)" And then I told them that if they wanted me to stay because it's Easter I guess I will (Because I assumed they understand how important this is to me and how much I want/need to go). Well, my mom was like "No, that's fine! Go on your trip." But my dad was like "No..." and he doesn't want me to go.

See what I get for assuming, I guess?... Yeah, well, I got kind of upset, but I didn't do or say anything, really... I thought I might cry, though. Then I drove my brother to church (because his car is in the shop waiting for a new Transfer Case), on the way back I was gonna talk to my mom about it, but I didn't want to get upset and cry while I was driving.

But... Yeah. I told Neville about it and he was kind of sad at the prospect of me not going. And then after school I saw him and we were talking and he was like "Did you find out if you were going to go?"
"Go where?"
"Where do you think?"
"Oh. Well, it's my decision, I just thought they knew how much I wanted to go so when I said 'if you want me to stay I will' they'd want me to go..."
"Yeah, stuff like that never really plans out."
"Yeah... But, I'll go. I mean, I want to, and I don't want to miss out on this."
"Good. This is good for you. And I'd be glad to see you go with us."

So... yeah, I mean. I'm going to go, and I'm just going to be like "I'm sorry that you want me to stay, dad, but I mean... this is important to me, and it's for my future. It means a lot for me to go, and for me to get this kind of experience. Easter is every year for the rest of my life, this won't be something I can do forever." So, yeah... I mean, I just hope he doesn't get upset or anything. Sometimes he can't always control his emotions right off the bat when he gets really upset because of his stroke... But I hope he won't get upset...
