Sheep Shearing, Spring Break, and Freshman Pre-Registration!
The title of this post pretty much sums everything up. I am currently surviving the third day of my Spring Break, the first of which was spent helping my Nana and Papa shear sheep.
To elaborate on the art of shearing shee- what? Why is my Spring Break so early? Well, the fact of the matter is that the Lusk school system is odd if nothing else. They have their Spring Break meticulously planned around Regionals. So as I was sayin- Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm homeschooled, so I could easily have planned my own Spring Break at another time, but having my schedule in sync with my brother's is easier on all of us.
*clears throat and looks around* As I was saying, when Papa and Nana shear sheep they have a business from Kacee, Foley Shearing, come and actually do the cutting of the wool. We just push the sheep up the chute and into their trailer. But pushing them up the chute is an art all in itself. See, sheep are very very different in personality compared to the cow (which is the kind of animal we own and I spend the most time around.) So instead of scaring them from behind as you would do with a cow, you run towards them! Crazy, right?
Well, that was a boring lesson on how to shear sheep... I'm sorry.
Onto a slightly more interesting topic. Last week I got the Freshman Pre-Registration form! WOOT! Here's what I signed up for:
English 9, Algebra, Computer 1, P.E., Physical Science, World History, Art 1, and Guitar.
So... have a nice day and happidy spring break!
