Labor Day Weekend

-

 It's already week three? How did that happen? My schedule has been absolutely packed since move-in day and I feel like I add three more things to my planner every day. It was nice to have a long weekend, however, the shortened week is extra stressful because it makes it seem like you have so much less time. Balancing classes, track practice, my part-time remote job, and all of my other jobs on campus has been a little difficult, but there haven't been any issues... yet. I feel like I am bound to slip up at some point, whether that be missing a meeting or forgetting to write my blog post again. I usually keep digital post-it notes on my laptop to remind myself of what I need to do throughout the week, but there are simply too many events to put on my little notes, so I have had to force myself to write in my planner. Now I just need to figure out how to remind myself to check that every day!

This weekend, like the rest of my week, was super busy. Saturday was filled with sports! For the past few years, I have had a little job with sports information, but I only really worked when they were short on people. This year, however, I have been promoted to the photographer! There were a bunch of sporting events this past Saturday, and I took pictures at the cross-country meet, football game, and tennis matches. Afterward, I edited the pictures I took while the others wrote the articles that go on onusports.com. Once we were all finished the articles were posted and the galleries of the photos I took were attached to each article. It was a very busy day, but I had so much fun taking pictures!

On Sunday, I headed home to see my family. A little after I made it home, my dad also got back - with two new cows! We watched them meet our other cows for a bit, then we headed out for dinner to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. My aunt, uncle, and one of my cousins that all live in Columbus were able to come to dinner with us as well. Since they live so far away, we don't get to see them very often, so it was nice to get to eat dinner with them! 

I wasn't able to stay at home for very long on Monday since I had to be back in Ada to work out at three. But, I had just enough time to enjoy some of my mom's homemade pizza before I left! She has been perfecting her pizza recipe for just over a year now and it is such a special treat. Every ingredient besides the flour, cheese, and some toppings comes right from our farm. The sauce is homemade from tomatoes grown in our garden and if we put any beef toppings on, those come from the cows we have raised.

It was such a relaxing weekend and hopefully, I can go home soon with a little bit more free time.

    Beautiful pictures! I have always dreamed of having farm animals and if I had cows I would be so happy!

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
