Things have been slowly winding down here at McGregor's. We've had some small tasks to do before my school starts, simply because I can't work the farm all day, go to school, do that small internship, and still expect to get some sleep in. John's been mostly weaned now, too, because I can't leave in the middle of a four-hour class and go feed him. He's taking it well, but he probably won't be under my care much longer. Once he gets a little bit older, he'll be transported to the herd they found for him.
I'm not looking forward to that at all.
School looks like it'll go well, I have all my books and McGregor's letting me borrow his truck so I can get into town. He says he'll be fine, but I don't quite feel right taking his only mode of transportation. If anyone has an old car or truck they're looking to sell, I just might take you up on that.
The internship looks like it'll be all right. It's not an official internship, I won't be able to do that for another four years. It'll mostly be paperwork, heavy lifting, and doing some of the basic check-up routine. I won't get paid for it, but it'll be worth the experience, and it's a foot in the door. If you have to stop in at the vet's on Sundays, it'll be me behind the counter.
