Week 14

-
It's week 14, we're almost out of here! I believe next week will be the last of my blog posts for the semester. Anyways, this week was a more normal week for me. I had class all five days of the week and a track meet on Saturday.

This week we finally had a home meet! It was nice not having a long bus ride after the extra-long one we had last weekend but meets at home require some setting up and tearing down that we haven't had to do since the indoor season. My parents and one set of grandparents were able to come up and watch, it was nice to see them since I hadn't in a while. This week I pole vaulted like normal but I also got to run in the 4x100 meter relay! That is my favorite race and it was so fun to be in it again. My team ran 49.99, breaking 50 seconds which was awesome! I'm really excited to run again in the upcoming meets. This weekend we will be going to Ashland University and the next weekend is the conference meet at Baldwin Wallace. 

My parents, grandparents, and I had planned on going out for dinner with my boyfriend and his parents after the meet was over since everyone was free and we all wanted to spend a little more time together. But, if you've ever been to a track meet, you would know how stinking long they are. So instead of watching a bunch of strangers running circles around the track my parents and grandparents explored Ada. They actually found a brand-new store on main street, it's a liquidation store and they had a bunch of name-brand clothes and other things and almost everything was six dollars! I haven't gotten the chance to check it out yet, but it is on my to-do list for the week.

Sunday was a gorgeous day! I had to pick up a short shift from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. but after I was done there I went to the baseball and women's soccer games. Even though I had to work, it was still a fairly relaxing day. Hopefully, this week won't be too busy with finals week quickly approaching! Next week will be very busy and I should have a little bit more to write about than just track updates!

    I'm glad you had such a great weekend! It seems like you had a lot going on but still managed to have fun, and enjoy the nice weather we finally had. That's cool that your family found a new store in Ada, I never even heard of it haha. Track meets can be so long, and I'm hoping the one this coming weekend will be pretty short :)

    I'm happy you had a good week! I don't know how you balance work, track and school so effortlessly.

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
