Well October has shaped up to be one busy, crazy, fun, eventful month!
We have begun our Executive meetings for Ag Ambassadors on Tuesdays at 6:30. I had my advising meeting with Doc Field for next semester. If all works out I plan on taking: Genetics, Breeding, Nutrition, Ag Law, Disease and Ag Marketing. I have officially declared my Ag Business minor! Stats exam went well worse than wanted, but expected, unfortunately I knew it was coming. The thing that gets me is that I studied more for this one than the last and scored about 5 % lower! Saturday we had an Ag Ambassador BBQ at Judi's house, our old adviser. It was a fun time and Alyece and I kicked some horseshoe ace! Tuesday provided for a Reproduction Exam, which to this day we still have not gotten back. I spent all weekend and part of last week studying, we had 33 essay questions to answer and he only put 7 on the exam! Sometimes Peel you drive me BA-NA-NA-S, in the words of Gwen Stefani! On Wednesday we had all of the LNW kids meet us out at ARDEC to have quick Round Robin info session, for you Easterner's thats Showman of Showman! We had a great turnout and it went over really well with the students.
Happy Birthday Josh! October 24th the big 2-0!
This week holds a lot in store for me!
Anatomy and Physiology Exam Monday, Executive meeting, Technology in Agriculture Discussion Tuesday, Reproduction Quiz Tuesday also, AFA meeting Wednesday, LNW meeting Thursday morning, AFA papers due along with Ag Ambassadors re-application due Thursday and a Ag Ambassador meeting, Friday holds a Range Management Exam and a Stats Quiz. Little National set-up, shearing lambs. Saturday LITTLE NATIONAL WESTERN. Sunday REGISTER AS A JUNIOR! :) With all of this I will also have two more meetings, one with Casey, my boss about LNW, and one with Doc Field also about LNW.
Along with all of these meeting, classes, homework, work I also have an obligation to be out at ARDEC to help these kids for LNW on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!
Just writing about all of this I am whipped!
Carrie I appologize I am copying you: my song of the week was, George Strait's How 'bout them cowgirls!
I felt a rush of the Rio Grande into Yellowstone (been there, seen that!)
I've seen first-hand Niagra Falls (when I was 6 months old!)
And the lights of Vegas (nasty airport)
I've Criss-crossed down to Key Biscayne
And Chi-town via Bangor, Maine
Think I've seen it all
And all I can say is
Chorus:
How 'bout them cowgirls
Boys ain't they somethin'
Sure are some proud girls
And you can't tell them nothin'
And I tell you right now girls
May just be seven wonders of this big, old round world
But how 'bout them cowgirls
She's ridin' colts in Steamboat Springs (thats in COLORADO)
Bailing hay outside Abilene
She's trying hard
To fit in in some city (can you say Fort Collins?)
But her home is 'neath that big, blue sky
And the Northern Plains and those other wide open spaces
Now a-days there ain't as many but
Repeat Chorus:
Boy, she don't need you and she don't need me
She can do just fine on her own two feet
But she wants a man who wants her to be herself
And she'll never change, don't know how to hide
Her stubborn will or her fightin' side (its a Damschroder/German thing, as Gerry would put it)
But you treat her right and she'll love you like no one else
Yeah, how 'bout them cowgirls
Boys ain't they somethin'
Sure are some proud girls
But you can't beat their lovin'
And I'll tell you right now girls
May just be seven wonders of this big, old round world
But how 'bout them cowgirls
How 'bout them boys
I think this song was written for me! I just love it! :)
Until next time, probably won't be till I arrive back from Kansas City or Costa Rica!
Hope all is well where my friends dwell!

Life's a Dance you learn as you go:)
Well the scholarship brunch went off without a hitch! Then came game time, sigh! We ended up with 12 straight losses, tear tear.
Monday we had our LNW meeting with all of the kids! We got to meet our groups and set things up for the month to come. Tuesday about to leave work: they let a heifer out! So we chased her down and in with the bulls then realized it was open all the way around. So we finally caught her and drug her back to HD. Interesting times, sorry Ryan for dumping you off the four-wheeler. Wednesday I had to do Ram Chat for AA from 6-8. Well we had a total of 5 kids sign on the whole time so we let early. I went and met up with the other half or 1/3rd of the amigos. They were at the Murphy Brown presentation. Thursday 7AM LNW meeting, grr. I met one of the girls-LNW showman at the Sheep Unit to go over things briefly. Then back to work. AA meeting, Grey's, some studying and then bed! Friday dairy, beef and sheep were out at ARDEC for workshops. So I met the girls at the Pavilion and this girl wanted to follow me. So as we are driving out to 25, this girl calls me and says, "you know you could have taken Mulberry, no my dear it is closed, I freaking know what I am doing plus this is quicker!" Grr Then once we get on 25 I am doing 75-80 and she PASSES me, what the heck! So she missed the exit and I have to tell her where to go and then we end up being 25 minutes late! Grr I hate being late, if you are 10 minutes early you are late! Things went fairly smoothly with the info session and so forth. Then headed down to see Shannon, Darcy and Matt at HD. Things got crazy down there, oh was it funny and fun! PS Air Force spray painted cam with a big blue A and F! Stupid cadets, thats the crappy Cam and not sheared up! Saturday did some homework and hung out with Jen. We decided to not go to the game and get electrocuted. It was poring down rain, thunder and lightening. So I came home and worked on homework, I need to get caught up! Had dinner with Matt and then Eddie, Nicole, Matt and I watched A Night at the Museum. It was pretty funny. Sunday: ITS STILL RAINING:( Homework still calls, cleaning, baking cookies, oh and still more homework!

Come on now FALL, fall to pieces
I am officially going to Kansas City, MO again! I will be traveling with three of my closest friends to the AFA Leaders Conference, for those of you agriculturally challenged: that's Agricultural Futures of America. Luke, Matt, Jen and I have all be accepted to represent CSU. I was nominated for national sponsorship and have received it. My donors are from Kansas City also. Dr. Johnson, CSU College of Ag Dean, has my travel expenses covered! I am on my way! I am so excited as this was a great time last year for networking, making friends, fun and a great learning opportunity. This is also where I met Luke and got to know Jen more. Hard to believe it has already been a year!
Friday, Matt and I went out for Gelato and then went to the park and watch a baseball game. I "showed" my announcing skills and knowledge of baseball by commentating the game! Needless to say, it was pretty hilarious. I don't know crap about baseball! However, GO ROCKIES! they are up 2-0 in the series.
Happy Birthday Zack :) Congrats on getting the new truck also!
I had a travel consultation on Monday at the Health Center. They told me some things to look out for before I go to Costa Rica and when I am there. They also suggested a few things. Gotta love 'free' health care.
I met with Dr. Peel to talk about my reproduction test and ended up getting 12 points added back to my grade! Thank you god! Block and Bridle meeting was fun! We had a representative from CCA, Colorado Cattleman's Association, come in a tell us of the opportunities as college students in the organization.
I was elected to the secretary position for Ag Ambassadors (AA) for the next year. It should be a great year with AA. The leadership team is a great bunch of young adults, but then again we are the elite group in the college of Ag!
Tomorrow: Homecoming! Scholarship breakfast at 10, be there at 9:15 to help with registration for AA and then bbq/cookout at Matt's and game at 3. GO RAMS!
To everyone's surprise I don't have any test next week, however, I have three quizzes on Friday. Ram Chat for AA for prospective students on Wednesday That's it! Finally a week slightly more relaxed week. However I am sure that as it begins it will be just as crazy as ever!
Well hope all is well with everyone.
