What a Blast...

So last Thursday I drove out to the trainers to see how Miss Jewel was doing. I had a blast. Having never worked cattle (except to round up my neighbor's loose cows) I got a lesson, on Jewel. She is doing great. They said they have been working on slow maneuvers, so that she gets the basic down well and then will speed things up. So we did well together, as I was more than happy to just walk, turn and follow the cattle slowly. I learned how to watch a cow, what I am suppose to do on cutting one from the herd and also how to send that cow down the fence. I had so much fun, I think I might get addicted to it...Is it bad to wish for the neighbor's cows to get out now?????

On Friday, Kayvon and Wally had to go to the dentist and have a filling each. Once we got home both of them where done for the day, with a dentist appointment and the cold crud, both took a nap. So I headed over to a friend's house and we went for a trail ride...Boy are my legs sore from no riding all winter to two days at over an hour each time...But I was in heaven both days.

This week is Finals week for me. I have two finals and two papers. I feel confident on both test and feel that I should not have an issue with the papers. I am also glad to have two weeks off before the next term. Which I have a math class, a geography class, an art class and a history class. Will let every one know how I did this last term once I have my grades..I am pretty sure I will have B's across the board, but hoping for two A's.

Till next time,
Me

*Update* Term Paper(Corn Belt)

Hey I got back my grade on the Corn Belt Paper. I got a 165 out of 200 and then I got all of the 25 points for the extra credit. So overall I got a 195/200. I am very happy.

The instructor's comments are all good and that I again did a good job but did not answer the original question and should have had better dates and more info on the effects of ground water contamination. But I am still very happy and I am very glad that I did the extra step of the tutor as that gave me a solid A over a low B...I am very proud of myself.....

*Update* Mid-term

So I finally got back my midterm for the Ancient Near Far East(Mesopotamia and Egypt). I got a 51.5 out of 65(79.3%). I am very happy with that considering I went into the test not knowing what was expected. I had to do a map, which I got 3.5 out of 5, and answer three questions in essay form(16, 16.5 15.5). I read everything I was suppose to read and I answered the best I could with ink and paper(glad I was not marked down on spelling as I am dependent on spell check). It is a C, but a very high C, and I was very glad. I think it could have been worse. Now I know what is expected for the Final and I feel very confident that I can raise that grade.
