Thanksgiving Break

-


What a busy week! This past week was Thanksgiving, and I definitely needed that break from school. I have been super stressed about my capstone project, but after submitting our third deliverable and not having classes for a few days, I have finally found my zen again! These next couple of weeks before winter break are going to be so busy with all of the projects wrapping up and the presentations that come with them. But, after my much-needed break, I think they will be a little bit easier than I was expecting. It will still be stressful, but not the end of the world. I am more than ready for this semester to be over, I have good vibes about the next one and can't wait for it to be here. This semester has been so wild and really just needs to be over with. 

Anyways, over break, I was able to get my camera and play around with it too! I took pictures at my brother's girlfriend's basketball game and also took some of our farm animals (a bunch of cows and our dog, Maggie). After some trial and error, I think I got the settings how I like them, but it is still going to be a little bit of a learning curve since this camera is a little different from the one I have been using for sports information. 

During the break, I was also able to see my younger cousins at Thanksgiving. As always, they were very excited to see us and they were so crazy all day. Sometimes I wish I could have some of their energy... they were nonstop the whole day, even after eating all the turkey. Thanksgiving dinner always makes me so sleepy, I look forward to the meal and the nap afterward all year. What's your favorite holiday?

On Friday, I went and did a little shopping with my mom, brother, and my brother's girlfriend. We went to the Liberty Center Mall and some other stores near it. I don't really see the hype for Black Friday deals, everything online is all the same price as in stores, and you don't have to deal with the crowd. All in all, it was a fun day and I got to go somewhere and hang out with my mom.

Here's to the end of the semester, and only a few more blogs left to write!

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
