Internet!

I finally got internet off of my neighbors!

Haha, here I am at school- sorta kinda moved in. We got up here Tuesday and my stuff kinda sat around in my apt for an entire day before I had a chance to work on unpacking it. Yesterday got kinda crazy because I came here and started unpacking for an hour or so, then headed down to Renner to meet with Merle and Nicole at Heinemann Fire Truck Manufacturers.

Nicole's friend Brian gave us a tour (he works there) and it was pretty darn cool. Not to mention, I got to meet Nicole and spend a couple hours with everybody. We took a tour and then went to Applebees for dinner. But, all good things usually come to an end. We ate, and went back to drop Brian off and went our separate ways:( Sad day. But, life never quits it seems.

I headed to the barn to visit Joe and Ace- they were doing quite well, and Joe's leg was going down. We decided that the skin condition he had on a part of his leg probably caused the swelling- so we scrubbed it down with some iodine and hopefully it gets better. I gave Ace a couple vaccinations- wouldn't wanna catch those east river bugs! lol

After that visit I went home and spent a couple hours looking for a water leak that we can't find on the farm...left the water on- it'll fester up eventually. We are losing about a gallon and a half a minute...not good- but it could be worse. Afterward I ran back down to Sioux Falls and Mom and I loaded up my desk to go to Brookings. I headed back up here and she came shortly after me. We spent a couple hours on my room and got quite a bit done- enough to walk through the room and sleep here anyway.

It sounded like Merle got back home around 6:30 to the neighbors cattle in his winter pasture...how nice. Sounds like Ross was farming and nothing too exciting happened while he was gone.

It was interesting to wake up to a different room today-not really bad, just different. I had training for my job as an office assistan at the front desk of Hansen Hall all day long. They fed us two free SDSU meals...what a nice way to break us in- you can't forget about the lovely food here:s Someone who obviously has no idea that Hansen in the AG HALL decided to have this semesters theme be Mr. Rogers! If you don't know who that is google it- or perhaps just imagine a man in a sweater vest with puppets. Now don't get me wrong, I thought that Mr. Rogers was the most amazing thing ever (cuz it pretty much is) but not for the theme of a college dorm full of cowboys. So... I spent a good part of my afternoon painting King Friday's Castle on a huge sheet of paper for the "Welcome to Hansen Hall" sign...wow. I'm still not done and get to look forward to working on it tomorrow! lol ...oh well, it's sorta entertaining. At the end of our training day we went to a fire safety class and I felt smart! haha, I guess I must have learned something in the S130/190 classes. Afterward, they had a propane bath that they would light and made everyone put it out with a fire extinguisher...oooo aaaahhhh. Then, I came back to theh apartment and have since got most of my room ready to go. It's pretty small and cozy but oh well, it'll work. I met some of my neighbors and have already decided to share internet with them- awesome cuz it creates cheap bills and I have internet now! Sounds like they are pretty nice guys, so we might get along good with some neighbors- that would be cool.

Last I heard, Merle went over and helped Adrianne load out eight semi's this morning...wow. Not sure what's gone on since then:(

But, I need to hit the sack- more training and stuff to do tomorrow! I miss the ranch!
