College has been interesting so far. I have a roommate, but she's local and has yet to actually stay the night in our room. So I pretty much have the room to myself 
. I'm in the honors dorm although I'm not in honors. With all my health issues I just didn't get around to applying. I LOVE my dorm. It's nice and quiet and cozy. It is an old building but still one of the nicer ( possibly nicest) dorms. I visited with one of my friends in her dorm last night. Her roommates came in to get ready to go party. They were already pretty blitzed. I'm not a drinker or party-er. Never have been, never will be. It goes against my goody two shoes nature. I visited with them and some of the guys with them for maybe 10 minutes. They were all very respectful of the fact I don't drink and were pretty impressed that I won't until I'm 21. Good job me for following the law 
. My parent know I don't and wont drink but encouraged me to just check out the party scene for social reasons. I came, I saw , I wasn't impressed. I won't be attending very many if any parties. I pretty much ran out of the dorm room when I started getting uncomfortable with the noise level and rowdiness. I made my friend come with. I'm glad I did. Two RAs where right out side working on an electrical issue. I don't think anyone got in trouble but 
I literally have mini panic attacks if I even think I'll get in trouble.
A local grocery store, Fred Meyers, put on a sale / party from 11pm-1am. Huge discounts, free stuff, and a dj. It was pretty great
.
My friend, who does party, came to that with me instead of partying. I appreciated it.
.
We were accosted by six masked thieves last night as well. Not to fear though I out weight them by at least 130#. They were digging through the trash and ran off when they saw us coming. When we turned the corner they ran out in front of us. Not 10 feet in front of us the biggest one puffed up and tried to scare us while the others escaped. It was a family of raccoons. It looked like two adults and four babies ( adolescents) although there was probably only one adult and 5 adolescents.
I called home this morning I have 5 chicks so far and mom is still sitting.
. Unfortunately, my dad also found a hen ( red star) that had had her side ripped up pretty good. She's alive but could go either way. I had a hen that had her entire "hide" ( and some muscle) on one side ripped off. Sickly, as she was called took two months to be able to walk well enough to escape the other chickens before she could be released. Now I don't even know which one is Sickly so I have high hopes.
Well that's my update. College hasn't killed me yet.

dumb birds. Momma was still sitting on three more eggs last I heard. Apparently, the yaks and two of my sisters ewes have been going on walk abouts. So the yaks are in the feedlot and the ewes in the pasture with Henry the big onery butt. We put Eli in With everyone else before I left. black ram is in there too. He's young and we don't much mind if he breeds anyone or not...it's not like we won't be able to tell.
