don't tell ME to have a cow!
Good newwwwwwws! We finally all got to pick our heifer calves today in class, and i picked mine out. It was difficult to decide cuz they were all just in a pen, about 40 of them together, and of course i wanted to try to pick one that didn't have a wild temperament, cuz they are all untrained and young. But I saw one that i thought had i really cute face, and she was somewhat on the smaller side, so i picked her. Then they all had to go through the cattle chute so that each of the selected ones could get a halter on them. So that was the point where we could really see how wild each one was, because of course they're all scared and acting crazy and resisting. But when mine came through she turned out to not be quite as wild as some. So i am lucky. Or it was meant to be, which i think it was, because even though i have only seen her and not gotten to work with her yet, i'm sooo attached! She sooooo cute. Even though cows are kind of gross and smelly, i love her. I'm naming her Miss Magenta, and we will be the best of friends. At least for now.
Sooo, i'm really becoming an uncity girl right now. Even though I still like cities and everything, like i really enjoy them, but i would never want to live in a big city ever. And my interests are changing somewhat, I've always liked the country, but that's really the only place I can see myself in the future now. And hey, i like western boots, and even wranglers. I don't have any, because with me, especially being black, people would think i was some kind of crazy poser. BUT, hey working with horses and other animals, like cows, is what i do/will do. So i'll do what i want suckas. WSU is not as solely agricultural as it was in the past, but it still has aggie roots, and that is why i'm here. Not to mention one of the best veterinary schools in the nation. I dont' know why i'm saying any of this. But I find it really interesting that like, the people in my major classes are all like people who raise horses or dogs or cows, or have in some way farmed. It kind of makes me realize like, wow, i'm really getting into the stuff I like, FINALLY. These horse raising people are who I have envied all my life. Anyway, i am regretting making this boring post because i just rambled on to nothingness. Sorry.
