Spontaneous Weekend

-

Fellow bears and bloggers, welcome to another edition of "what did Anna do this weekend." Seriously, it seems like nothing happens throughout my week that is worthwhile to write about. However, this weekend was just outside of my normal weekend activities. Usually, I sleep in as much as I can Saturday morning, head to whatever sporting event is happening to take pictures, edit said pictures, and then get a snack on my way home from McDonald's or Taco Bell, then watch TV until I fall asleep. Then, on Sundays, I will clean my room, watch more TV or play on my phone, hang out with my roommates, or do laundry before finally doing homework. 

However, this weekend there were no home sporting events. So instead of my usual weekend routine, I finally did something different for a change! Saturday morning there was a Polar Preview Day which is an event for high schoolers to come to ONU and talk to the different colleges, go on tours, and meet with faculty. I helped at the Dicke College table and got to talk to a few different prospective students. After I was done helping there, my roommate, Kenzie, and I decided that we wanted to go to the boutique that's in Kenton. We dressed up a little bit more than we usually would and headed out on our adventure. Once we got into the downtown area of Kenton, Kenzie's twin sister Hannah called us. She helps out with the football team and since they had an away game, she was at Otterbein with them. She had been sick and still decided to go help at the game, but once she was there, she started feeling worse. So, like the good sister and roommates that we are, we drove all the way to Otterbein to save Hannah! I wasn't really prepared to go down there, but if you know me, you know that I like to go with the flow.

Once we picked Hannah up, we were able to get lunch at Raising Cane's for some Chicken Fingers. If you are stuck in small-town Ada, you know how special it is to be able to get Cane's! After we picked up lunch, we stopped at Target, Hannah needed a pillow and blanket for the ride home. We picked those items up as well as some other random items that we thought we needed, for example, a dinosaur Squishmallow. Then, we made our way back home.

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
