I spent a day at the Mobridge Tribune. I got to watch them with writing, lay-out and even help with proof reading. It was cool to feel like an official intern - but to not actually be one. (i.e. not have to work hard) It was fun because everyone there was super sweet to me.

I think I'll be happy with my major, because I could see having a cozy job as a part-time writer for a local newspaper - at least while I'm off saving the world the rest of the time. I like the really flexible location and hours.

There was an ice storm going on today. So to entertain the other half of me, (the unsophisticated side) I spent this afternoon pitching hay and chasing cows on foot. (Several had pushed through the fence and I had to get them back.) It was a great work out! I was just sweating (I mean "glowing") underneath a pile of winter clothes. Once I caught my breath, it was so peaceful to hear the falling ice 'tink' on the already frozen crust of snow. It deadened all the other sounds and made it seem perfectly quite, except for the noisily munching cows, that is.

Tonight I start house sitting for my pastor's family... Lets talk about... hum... a whirpool tub, wireless Internet, satellite T. V. and 5 animals!  I shouldn't get too board. They even said I could have a party! Hummm... who would I invite? I have to think about that.
