A day on the college Farm!

Ok..First of all i absolutely and thoroughly hate getting out of my house or college between 11 and 4pm..the sun gets to me and makes me grumpy and sulky..which is everything that i am normally not:)...But power has gone to our honourable dean's head:P and he has try to include farm in every possible practical and made farm compulsory on saturdays for 3 hours for each batch...now there are 2 hitches to this...firstly we have to walk a km in the hot sun to reach the farm unless someone gets their vehicle.The dean should try walking atleast once to the farm with us rather than go in his a/c ambassodor sponsored by the govt.2ndly its not like everytime we are dng stuff that is going to help us to become vets..Y?Last Saturday,We were made to prepare silage for the animals...Stand in the hot sun and pass the never ending sacks..kilos and kilos of silage material...I dont know what they are going to make us do next..mebbe collect cow dung from all around and make manure...Last sem i hardly went to the farm..I think I must have gone once..though we used to tell people at home that we going to the farm and we used to carry on with our respective extra curricular activities...:P...I was expecting some serious repurcussions but thankfully nothing happened!The goats on the farm are really friendly with me..they were actually butting each other for a chance to nibble my fingers which i was trying to put in thru the grills..cool na?Now there are some male goats which behave really weird..even i dont know y..They bend down and spray their face with their own urine..I am sure it must be very refreshing in this heat...The lambs at the farm are the cutest..its like they have springs attached to their soles...its impossible for people like us from the cities who have no experience with farm animals to catch them...More on the farm in subsequent posts..:)
