Week 2 @ ONU

-


It's hard to believe that we've only been back for two weeks, it feels like it's been a lifetime. It finally snowed here in Ada on Saturday night, and it is so cold! I spent most of Sunday catching up on Netflix with one of my roommates and went to my boyfriend's house for dinner that night. They have a fireplace in their basement, and it was so cozy down there! Needless to say, I had a great snow day!

We had our first track meet on Friday! As per usual I pole vaulted, but I also ran the 60-meter dash this week. For pole vault, I tied my indoor personal best (3.35 meters or 10 feet 11.75 inches) and placed 3rd on attempts. I wasn't super happy with this jump, but we are still coming from a short approach and are on smaller poles. I need to keep reminding myself that higher jumps will come with time! And for the 60-meter dash... I surprised myself a little bit. I ran fast enough to make it to the finals! The last time I ran that race was in high school, and this week I beat my personal best by 0.37 seconds, which is a lot of time for such a short race. I hope that I can run more at meets, I really love racing!

I only have a few more courses left until I'm finished with all the classes I need to graduate so I was able to take fewer credit hours this semester. Even though I have one less class, I seem to have more assignments and have to prepare more for class than I used to. Adding track and working into the mix makes for an intimidating semester. 

What are some of your favorite ways to stay organized throughout the semester? I have tried so many ways to stay on top of my schedule and still haven't found one that I really love.

    I definitely feel like it has been a lifetime being back on campus too! Also, I was so excited when we got snow here in Ada but I don't know how I feel about the cold...brrrr. For the track meet, I enjoyed watching you run the 60 meter dash and amazed that you beat your personal best for it by 0.37! But some tips to stay organized that helps you can plan out your week. This is what helps me keep everything organized and let's me know if I have any free time during the week. Hope this helps!!

Week 10

Hello fellow bloggers! I have some big news... I bought three fish! This was a very impulsive decision, but I thought it would be fun to have some apartment-friendly pets. I ended up in the pet store because one of my friends wanted to get some fish, but she decided against it, and I decided I was going to get a few of the 16-cent goldfish.  I'm not expecting them to last forever solely based off of their price, but their purpose is to just provide a little bit of happiness for however long they live. They still don't have any names, so if you have any ideas feel free to drop them in the comments. We haven't had a track meet in two weeks and somehow, I'm more exhausted without them. We were supposed to have a track meet this weekend, but they ended up canceling it due to the weather. So, in lieu of a track meet, our coaches had us do an intra-squad mixed-gender relay race. We were broken up into groups for a 4x200 meter, 30-lap, and 5x400 meter relay races. We were all

Busy Weekend in Ada

Hey there, fellow bloggers - I had a super busy weekend again!  Friday night was super exciting... my boyfriend and I caught up on homework. But since we were able to do this, we had more time this weekend to do some fun things! There were a bunch of sporting events for me to take pictures at this weekend. I took pictures at the football game on Saturday and the tennis match Sunday morning. The football team played Mount Union, which is usually very good at football. We ended up losing the game, but I still got some really cool pictures for the website! Saturday night, my roommate and I finally got to finish an art project that we've been planning since probably the start of the semester! We saw the idea on Tik Tok to put plaster or spackle all over a canvas and take a tool that would make a kind of like ribbed pattern. We mostly made arches or half circles with the tool. We had to wait for that to dry overnight, but we planned on painting the patterns to make them pop out even mo

Fall Break Update

Bloggers, this past weekend was a long one! ONU had their fall break this weekend and I was able to go home for a few days. I went almost everywhere I could think of over break.  Of course, I had to hit all of the staple Brookville spots. On Saturday, I spent almost the whole day with my brother's girlfriend, Josie. First, we went to Coffee On Main, the local coffee shop, then we headed to Canal Days in Metamora. Metamora was a stop along the Whitewater Canal, back in the old days, but in today's world, they are more of a tourist location. There are a few permanent shops in the town that primarily sell handmade goods year-round. However, every year on the first weekend of October they have a festival where the shops as well as other vendors who handmake goods and food trucks set up for the long weekend. So many people from near and far travel to Metamora every year to get ahead on their Christmas shopping, or they go just to shop! Josie and I walked around almost all day and ev
