Last few dayyys

So I have been completely exhausted the last week or so... Fourth of July was fun. Mark was here. Bob and Ann love having him around because when he comes to visit me, he always works with me so we get more accomplished! =)

So the farm house dinner was interesting as I have previously stated. There were around 20 people who came and we made about $50 a person I guess which is good. It was kind of weird explaining why I am here to people. The other interns are here because they thought it would be a fun summer job, I am here to complete my degree. It seemed interesting to me to explain it to some of the people that showed up (rich people from like, CT and stuff)... Telling them I grew up on a farm and that my major at college is animal science, but no I'm not going to be a veterinarian. It always seems hard for people to grasp that. But all in all, the night was very exhausting and I got done at 9:30... and I had to milk at 5 the next morning.

I had some family issues so I had to go home over my day and a half off to be with my parents... Wednesday I worked at 7. Did chores and stuff, weeded garlic, planted grass seed. Wednesday night I milked I believe... The last few days have been a blur, I really need to keep up with this blogging thing or else I lose track. Today we made cow's milk cheese. Ann is making sure to teach me how to make it in case I decide to go make cheese for Mark's dad when I get done with college. I don't know if I really want to do it, but I guess I can keep my options open. But anyway, making cheese can be complicated and there is DEFINITELY a lot of dishes that need to be done as well as cleaning which can get very redundant.

Anyway, I need to get to bed. Work at 7 tomorrow... We have to catch the llama to treat it's halter sore and for some reason Bob chose me for the job because I have experience with animals... but llamas are completely different from anything I've handled before... Oh well... Good night!
