Week 15

-

 Happy Dead Week! I can't believe finals week is next week already and that junior year is almost over. At the beginning of the semester and the beginning of this class, the weekly blogging assignments seemed so daunting and I was so nervous about them! And after 15 weeks, I can say that it wasn't as bad as I thought and it is definitely much easier to write now than it was in the beginning. I was really afraid of what others would think of my blogs and what I had to say but I have noticed a lot of growth in myself over the semester and I'm thinking that writing the blogs (as annoying as they were at times) played a small part!

That was kind of sappy, but I tend to get like that at the end of the semester haha! Anyways, for the regularly scheduled track update: this weekend we were at Ashland University for their alumni meet. There were 34 girls pole vaulting, and I was in a four-way tie for seventh place jumping 3.58 meters which is 11'9" for those of you that prefer English. I was really excited to jump at Ashland because that is where Katie Nageotte went to college. She won gold in the pole vault at the Olympics last summer and she is one of the only "famous" people that I follow on social media. I have been a big fan of her for a long time and I was so excited for her when she won gold. I was really hoping I would finally get to meet her at the track meet this weekend, but she just went down to Florida for training I believe so unfortunately she wasn't able to come :(

This week is the conference championship meet and coming up are last chance meets to qualify for nationals. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. I will have to stay extra focused so I can try to jump a little higher and secure a spot for the national meet. I most likely won't post on this blog anymore so if you are curious about how things turn out you'll have to stay updated through my TFRRS link haha!

Thanks for a great semester and for an experience I never thought I would have! Peace out Blogspot!

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
