One Last Relaxing Weekend

This weekend, I was able to go home for one last relaxing weekend before dead week and finals week began. One of my classes was cancelled on Friday, so I decided to skip my other class and go home a day early. I had class until 4:15 on Thursday and I left right after it was over. My younger brother had a basketball game, so I went straight to his game. They ended up losing but it was still nice to watch him play.

Friday, I slept in until 10:30 a.m. which was so nice. For lunch, I went out to eat with my parents at one of our favorite restaurants, Mom's Diner. I ordered a club sub and a cup of chicken rivel soup and they were both very good. When I got back home, I did laundry that I had brought from my dorm because I did not want to do it earlier in the week. Friday night my parents and I went to my high school's girls' basketball game. It was a close game but they also ended up losing.

Saturday morning, I slept in again. I then picked up my friend and we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Casa Vieja. I got my usual, which is chicken and rice and a side of queso to share. I know it sounds basic but their chicken and rice is the best I have ever had. Afterward, I came back home and watched football for the rest of the afternoon. Saturday night, my brother had another basketball game. They played a lot better this game, winning 61-28 and my brother was leading scorer with 20 points!

Sunday morning, I went to church, then to Mom's Diner again for lunch. I got a club sub again but with waffle fries this time. After lunch, my family and I went to pick out our Christmas tree. The past couple of years we have been getting a real Christmas tree, which is so much more fun to go and pick it out. After setting up the tree, I just hung out for a while before heading back to ONU.

Overall, I had a very nice and relaxing weekend. It was nice to not have to worry about any homework or exams, because that's all I'm going to be doing for the next two weeks!

Halloweekend!

Image
I had been looking forward to this weekend for a while and it finally came, Halloweekend! Halloween isn't my favorite holiday but I still love being able to dress up and have fun. One of my favorite parts about Halloween is seeing everyone else's costumes, because some people come up with funny ones. This year, my friend and I decided to go as Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Boothe! I saw the idea on TikTok last year, so we have had this planned for a year now. I think it's so funny, so I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time! My weekend started off slow on Friday night, I just hung out in my apartment with my friend and watched some movies. Saturday, I worked the men's soccer game. It was a very exciting game because it was close the whole time but we scored with just a minute left to win! And the same guy scored all three of our goals for a hat trick, so it was really cool! After the game, I wrote the game recap for the men's and women's ga...

Thanksgiving Break

Image
I feel like I have been going nonstop since the start of the semester, so Thanksgiving break was a much-needed time to relax and not worry about classes or work for a while! Over the break, I was able to travel to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with my friend, Kennedy, and her dad, Tim, to visit Tim's aunt and uncle, Joyce and Jerry. I also went to Hilton Head with her over spring break last semester, so it was nice to go back! Tuesday, we spent the whole day driving. We left at 6 a.m. and didn't get to their house until 9 p.m. because there was a lot of traffic. When we got there, Joyce had made us chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese, so we caught up with them while we were eating. Since we woke up early that morning and had spent all day in the car, I slept so good that night and didn't wake up until 10:30 Wednesday morning. Wednesday after we got ready, we rode their bikes to Duck Donuts, which has the best donuts I've ever had. I'm not a huge fan of donut...

A Family-Filled Weekend

Image
This weekend was much needed, not only because I got a break from classes and homework but also because I was able to see family that I haven't seen in a long time! I am one of the youngest on both sides of my family, so many of my aunts, uncles and cousins have moved away from the area, so it's always nice when we can get together again! My weekend started off busy, having to work both Friday and Saturday. Friday night, I worked the home women's basketball game, which was the first of the season. Basketball is my favorite sport, so I'm glad it's finally basketball season again! ONU won 77-49, so it was a great game to work! After the game, my roommate and I watched a couple episodes of "Friends" before calling it a night. Saturday afternoon I worked the women's soccer OAC Finals game. ONU won, which means they are OAC Champions and have an automatic bid into the NCAA III Tournament! The men's soccer team didn't earn an automatic bid into the N...
