AAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH the Weather!!!

Ok, so I have lived in Kentucky my entire life and never have I seen such a drastic change in weather conditions like I have seen these past few weeks. On Monday it was almost 60 degrees and then today it was 20!!! Within the next few days there is supposed to be a huge winter storm. This storm is supposed to give us almost 10 inches of snow and include ice! That is probably the worst part of winter, is the ice. I drive a Ford F-150, lovingly named Hank, and he hates rain, let alone ice!

So, tomorrow I shall wrap myself up in the warmest clothes I own and then attempt to drive to school, only to walk 40 minutes to get to my classes. Oh, how I love the university. Not only for their "amazing" parking, but for the fact that no matter how horrible the conditions get they refuse to cancel classes. Now, I understand they want to allow students to get all the instruction that we paid for. However, when it becomes dangerous for us to go to school but still attempt (all because we will get penalized if we don't show) that is when it starts to get too ridiculous!

Just for your enjoyment here are some pictures from the first snow that we had earlier this month.



The grapevines that are in my grandfather's backyard in the middle of the city!

Oh the joys of being a science experiment!

Yes, I was a science experiment today. Over the weekend I developed a rash and came down with flu like symptoms. So, because the offices were closed yesterday I went to the doctor today.

After seeing 4 doctors...all in the exam room at the same time, the conclusion was inconclusive....I felt like a celebrity autopsy. I mean, really doctors, there are only so many things a rash can be, it's not cancer. After they gave me an antibiotic, cause that is how they would treat it if it was one thing I went about my merry way. One opinion was for me to stay isolated, the other was that I could go about my life normally. (I went with the latter, because I don't have time to be sick!!!!!!)

Now, I feel like I am behind on my running (which I am, since I haven't ran in 4 days!) and on my school work. This week has been so crazy and sometimes I get so caught up in the business of the week I forget that I planned for this and I just need to STICK TO THE PLAN....I am a little stressed to say the least.

Until tomorrow, where hopefully I will be less stressed!

I have a lot of catching up to do!!!

Hello everyone,

I am currently laid up due to illness and watching Julie & Julia which always makes me want to blog. I have been super busy trying to get things settled for school and getting back into the groove of things.

Today, I got to learn something that I have wanted to learn for a while now....how to inseminate a cow artificially! I know, I know, "How could you have wanted to do that?!?!?!" I mean, my major is animal science and I love me some dairy cows!



This was when my arm was getting ready to fall of because the cow really wanted me to quit messing with her! I mean where would my Southern Charm be if I didn't know how to get a little dirty every now and then. We aren't completely finished with the training, it raps up on Monday. We were out there for 6 hours learning about the correct techniques and everything. I about passed out, but before I could do that I had to stop by the Grand Opening of the
and received some samples and a free cupcake compliments of one of the bakers (and my sorority sister) Kati. She decided to give me her cupcake that she got because she wanted to give it to me for my birthday! I decided on the Red Velvet Cupcake with cream cheese icing and a vanilla filling....it was heaven and will be the death of me!

We are on day 16 of my mini marathon training and because I am not filling good I didn't go running and I was supposed to run 4 miles today! Oh well, I have decided not to wear my body down too much because I don't want to burn myself out. So, I will start back strong tomorrow just as long as I feel up to it and I get back in time before the gym closes!

Well, back to the daily grind of doing O-Chem and Ag Policy homework.
