So it's rodeo time, if you didn't catch that hint in the title...hehe...so that is basicaly what my days consist of. Rodeo and coming home to pass out in bed with Leinacorn. So with the next 3 weeks taking up my entire schedual with funnel cakes and camel feeding...my placement test for college is on the backburner. They only test on Mondays and its a 5 hour test. So I have to wait till after rodeo to take my test. Hopefully I'll test high enough to take some honors classes or something. I also havnt met with the financial advisor yet so I don't know how much assistance I'm getting. I'm looking for scholarships and such to apply for to help support us while I'm in school. I really need to go full time so I can get into A&M...but I'm scared to death on how I'm going to support my family in this. I'm putting a lot of faith in this and trying not to fear. Its just hard. I'm such a planner and I want it all laid out. Mabey that's why God has put it in my heart to do this. Mabey he wants me to go into the unexpected to show me how he can work in my life.
Also I'm still deciding what field I want to go into when (yes I said when not if) I get into vet school. I originally planned on small animal (ya know dog and cats) and go back for large animal (cows and horses) but after spending some time with my camel friends at the rodeo I kinda want to explore zooology too. But that's going to be a lot of schooling. Mabey I should just start with the basics and go from there.
And another thing..nothing related to my schooling goals, but just something on my mind. I have some family members that have been all about going vegitarian and semi vegan and all that crap. Which going vegitarian isn't crap don't get me wrong. I think you really have to look at the reasons your doing it and do it right if you do. When you do that you have to supplement your body with vitamins and such that your body needs and your not getting from salad crap. Which tells me if I have to suppliment my body to stay healthy when I quit meat..means my body needs meat. Meat isn't unhealthy, yea I hear a lot about red meat and all...yea large quanities are not prefered. But hey, there is plenty of other meat out there that isn't red. Chicken and fish to name a few. I don't know I guess I don't really get some peoples reasonings. I feel like people will buy into anything without checking all the facts. This book they are raving about "skinny bitch" is a diet fad basicly wanting you to buy their products and go vegan. Loosing weight is one thing. But diet isn't the only thing, exercise, and a healthy mind play a big part too. I realized today that I like my body. Yea I could tone up in some places....(your belly skin never goes back quite right after pregnancy) but really I do like it. I like feeling healthy, not like a hard breeze could knock me down. I guess I feel silly when I used to look at how skinny people were and judge my worth on what size jeans I could put on. I'm a healthy woman! I eat well and I try to exercise (now more so then in the past). But I'm beautiful and I don't need some fad diet to make me feel that way. Especially a book with two authors who profusly put the reader down and prey on a womans insecurities. I want someone to lift me up and encourage me not put me down. I don't have to accept treatment like that anymore. I determine how I am spoken too today. Mabey its cause of how much I've experienced in life that I don't fall prey to this PETA funded crap. Trying to say all meat is pumped with steriods and animals are skinned alive. Yea that happens everywhere! Whatever. I took a food production class and we learned the laws of what is and isn't allowed when processing meat in the slaughter houses. Reasearch when your market place gets it meat from make educated purchases. Cause let me tell you if you quit eating meat because of the horiffic actions that the meat production world is committing. Your all show and just want to say your doing something. Cause let me tell you, even if you don't eat meat all those things you think are happening aren't going to stop happening. Why don't you take this cause your supposedly fighting by being vegan and actually take action like putting a stop to the places you can find who do these crimes. Cause its stupid to just say your against something and then sit on your a** and sip coffee talking about how horrible it is. I hate that. But yea I'm going to end this little rant because I think it has gone on too long
Agree. I get people's thinking behind going vegan to stop the torture that some farms expose their animals to, but it's never going to get anywhere.. its like taking a pebble out of the ocean to make the water level go down. Not gonna make a difference. It would take a lot of people to become vegans to stop their profit and get them to go under. And there aren't many people willing to stop eating healthy to, most likley not, stop one cow from getting poked in the eye with a pitch fork. Those same people willingly kill themselves with nicotine. We're fat, selfish, careless, wasteful creatures. We put ourselves first. Not the environment or animals. That's reality.
