Week 3 @ ONU

-
This weekend was super busy for me! 

Friday night I had a team meal before our track meet Saturday with the other pole vaulters on my team. Andy made spaghetti, chicken, and garlic bread, and it was delicious! After we ate, we watched this Netflix Original movie called Seal Team. It was an animated movie about seals fighting sharks. There were so many pop culture references, and we were all laughing the whole time. Ever since coming to ONU, team meals with the vaulters the night before meets are easily my favorite tradition. It's such a fun and relaxing time hanging out with my friends before the big day.

Like I said, Saturday was our big track meet at home. There were only two other girl pole vaulters this week so I spent most of the day jumping alone. It was definitely a different experience, but I still had a lot of fun! I ended up jumping 3.55 meters, which was my second highest jump EVER!!! I almost broke my personal record, but after running in the 4x200 meter relay and taking about 10 vaults beforehand, I didn't have enough gas left in the tank. 

After the track meet, I went out to dinner with my boyfriend's family for his brother's birthday. We ate at Logan's Irish Pub in Findlay and then went ax throwing! It was my first time throwing an ax, and I was really bad at it... there were multiple times when it didn't even stick in the wood. Even though we weren't superstars at throwing, I think we all still had a good time.

Sunday afternoon my roommate and I went grocery shopping and cleaned our apartment, getting ready for the week. Then, I spent Sunday evening with my boyfriend again celebrating our two years together. We got a little more dressed up than normal and went to Toledo to get a nicer steak dinner. 

Overall, it was a great weekend. I was a little more tired than usual from the track meet, but it was nice to be busy for once!

    It was so cool watching you pole vault this weekend and come close to a PR! In high school we used to do team dinners before our meets and it was one of my favorite memories. I can totally relate to you about being tired this weekend. After the meet Saturday, the cross team had to work an indoor marathon at 7am which definitely took a lot out of me haha. Overall though, it was such a fun weekend like you said!

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
