At school I am in Environmental Club. I think the name is pretty self explanatory. Today we went to go work with horses and . . . IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I loved it so much. We mucked out their stalls which was work, but fun work. You have to shovel out the dirty straw and poop, but leave the clean straw. Then we got to brush the horses! The hair gets all over you because they are shedding their winter coats right still. I just watched the cleaning of the hooves. I was to nervous to! Then we got to lead them to a field and watch them roll in the dirt! All that work down the drain . . . >.< (T.T)
It was fun to watch them. They ran and ate and we fed them apples! I kept dropping mine! There were chickens at the stables too. We tried to catch them, but failed. (T.T)
They are hard to catch! We hung out with the horses for a while. I thanked our teacher ecstatically for bringing us here. He said to thank his friend too (the one that owns the stables.) I turned and said, "Danke shÖn! Danke shÖn!" Which means "Thank you very much! Thank you very much!" It has been a great day!
Now this is the serious side.
Unless you've taken up residence in a place totally cut off from the world - you have heard about Japan. This situation is deadly serious. I would suggest looking it up on Yahoo! if you don't know how dire the situation is. Many people are very worried about Japan. With so many still missing and now the radiation from the power plants, it is absolutely horrible. I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but please don't ignore all this pain and suffering. It is now clear that they do need help.
