Too Many Moves

 My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. Everything started out smoothly enough. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. We had found a nice enough apartment about two miles from campus, but before we even moved in, problems started developing that kept me on the move the entire semester.

 One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college. However, a week before we were to move in, she found out that she didn't get the job she had been counting on. She was forced to live at home and look for work, and two of us were stuck with higher monthly rent payments. We lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it by ourselves. Joan moved away and I started looking around.

 I found another apartment and the rent wasn’t bad. The room was small with One tiny bathroom for four people. The place was noisy, but it was the best I could afford for the time. However, one day when I returned from school, I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire,and the fire department was putting out the last flames. My room was a charred mess; there was no way that anyone could live there for a long time. I was once more out of a place to stay, and there was still over a month of school left.

 After looking around all weekend for lodging, I finally gave up and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day, so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I had to drive to school, go to classes, and come home and sit in an empty house for a few hours. I was very bored; d; I'd also lost the will to study. It had been such a bad semester moving all over the place that my heart wasn't in school anymore. So the semester just played itself out.

What Is a Rodeo?

 “Rodeo” is a Spanish word meaning”gathering place or market place for cattle. “A rodeo itself is a competitive contest based loosely on traditional cowboy skills of riding and roping. It consists of six major events: riding an untamed horse in a saddle; riding an untamed horse without a saddle; riding a bull; roping a calf; wrestling a bull to the ground; racing horses around barrels with women riders. A rodeo is perhaps the most genuinely American of all sports.

 The first rodeo took place following a cattle roundup in the 1880s. From this informal cowboy pastime, a colorful spectacle has evolved that contains many familiar American elements-the exciting action of bucking horses and bulls, the explosive masculine environment, the hot dog stands, beer barrels, boots, jeans, and cowboy hats.

 Today, most rodeos are staged in a large, flat arena that is fenced off to protect the viewing public. Grandstands are erected on two sides of the arena; on the other sides are places to hold the horses,calves,and bulls. Nearby are narrow chutes from which animals are released into the arena. On a platform a loudspeaker system is set up for the announcer, who introduces the riders and comments on the events as they happen. Near the arena are refreshment stands where people gather to buy food and drink. Portable rest rooms are set up near the grandstand, and an ambulance is parked nearby in case of an accident.

 An opening parade of proud riders on proud horses usually begins a rodeo; the performers carry flapping national and state flags. Then the two-act performance begins. Calf roping and bull wrestling are timed events. In the fastest possible time, a man must rope and throw to the ground a calf and tie three of its feet together. In bull wrestling, the object is to tumble the bull onto its back with its head and all its feet in line. Calf roping has been done under fifteen seconds, and a bull has been wrestled in less than ten seconds.

 When riding an animal, a contestant mounts before the chute gates are opened. The rider must stay on the bucking animal for eight seconds; points are given for the performance of both the animal and contestant. In all riding events, the contestant is disqualified if he touches the animal with his free hand.

 Probably the most difficult rodeo feat is Brahman bull riding. During this event, a rodeo comes to resemble a circus because gaily-costumed clowns come into the arena to distract the bull's attention from fallen riders. To stay on a bucking bull for as long as eight seconds is one of the most challenging tasks in a rodeo. Spectators eagerly wait for this event.

 The present circus extends far beyond the region where the contests first developed. Now rodeos are popular throughout the western half of the U. S. A. and in major eastern and southern cities. Australia also stages these events. One of the biggest rodeos of all is held during the annual Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Canada.
