BrownSheep- It's been a while

[BrownSheep]

Feeling better but it's midnight and I'm doing calculus

Nope...not our fault! We haven't been online enough lately to really spread our diseases!
Really hope you're not coming down with this thing.

*edited to add*
calculus would make most people sick! At least it did me...never could understand how to do calculus when i could solve all the problems using algebra! just be glad i'm not an engineer or some kind of professional who needs calculus skills!

Yep calculus and I are not great friends. Luckily, I have a great professor and my school has lots of tutoring available. ..and my secret weapon, a little sister who loves math.

I am actually missing math today with the hope my stomach will settle befor biology.

I didn't make it to class today, but am feeling much better.
It was in the 50s today and I did go on a couple mile bike ride later in the afternoon.
Afterwards I promptly pinched a nerve in my back .

Not much to report. We had a new ram lamb born today. He looks like a cutie....Well he's alamb so it's kind of a given.

I have a Bio test Monday and have been studying. I also have enough calculus homework to drown a whale. I am a little lost but found a program on my calculator that will answer the problems ( derivatives) for me. This will work till tomorrow. I have a Skype date with my sister who will show me how to work it out on paper.

Went on another 3 mile bike ride today. My bike started acting up. Something's up with the brakes where it's constantly rubbing on the back tire. So I pretty much pedaled half of it with the break on .
My low blood pressure has really been acting up after I exercise and making me dizzy for almost a hour afterwards...while I am doing it I am fine but once I stop it's grip the railing on the stairs so I don't fall down.

My moms coming up to check in on grandma so I may hang out with her for a while tomorrow.

Next weekend I'll be driving my grammie down to see the lambs and help pick up the new bull. Or should I say I'll be helping and she'll be watching. I just had a lovely vision of my 88 year old grammie herding yaks.

This site has some beautiful photos of sheep herding in Idaho. I am pretty certain these photos were taken in an area called Slaughterhouse which is where my grandpa used to run his sheep.

Those are beautiful pictures! SO many sheep! That looks like heaven on earth to me.

Good luck with your Calculus test! You're lucky you have a sister that likes math and can help you

No much to report.

I got a windowsill pot and plant some herb seeds...my suite mates are gonna get fed up with my potted plants
A roommate and I all most went and bought a bum lamb today . Aparently last year someone raised chicks in one of the dorms!...guess I should get my incubator out of shortage!

Tomorrow I'll be going out to a steak house for a friends birthday....unfortunately since I am a Catholic Ill be limited to fish or salad ....Oh, curse you Lent, you time of enforced vegetarianism!

I've been keeping up the 3 mile bike rides....I am starting to feel it in my diaphragm of all places...I am hoping to loose some weight this semester. I told one of my suite mates my pants size and she didn't believe me so that was flattering but I still need to slim down by about 40 lbs.

I've also applied for some jobs with the fish and game so keep your fingers crossed! I also am looking out for a job at the sheep expriement station.

Really like reading your journal - my student days are buried in a very distant memory bank
