Celebrate the Holidays with us...Thanksgiving 2017

Hi friends, this past weekend was thanksgiving and in my family this means a lot of

parties and turkey, lots and lots of turkey. I have two days of parties that I went to for thanksgiving because my family is so big.

Planning a Quidditch Tournament at William Woods University

Hope all is well and that your Thanksgiving was great! Today you’ll get the great opportunity to see why I have pulled my hair out. I’m fully kidding. As you all might know, I am the team manager of our Quidditch team here at William Woods University. For about the past couple of months I have been organizing an Quidditch Tournament on March 24^th, free to the public. So here we go on the broom ride.

A Major Highlight into the Biology Pre-Vet Program

Hey everyone! This week we had a friend of ours write a post on Her major. Her name is Kira, you might remember her from our hiking post from last year or her post on Having and Quitting a Job. She went to Freshman Advantage (the summer program here at WWU) with Megan, Aly, and I. She is a sophomore in the Honor's Program who is majoring in Biology/Pre-Vet.

  BIOLOGY PRE-VET  

             I am majoring in biology with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine. I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was little because I love animals and there have been many instances where the animals in my life have needed medical help.

How I Train My Horse

Hello, friends!

Now I know that I talk a lot about my horses but…I’m about to do it again haha. I know that most of you know from many of the other posts from my fellow blogger friends that doing other things while college is going on is hard. However, trying to train your one year old horse, who you all know is my beautiful boy Star, is difficult.

Why I Go Home on the Weekends

Hello, friends I don’t know if you guys know, but this semester I am taking class Monday though Thursday and I don’t have any class on Friday. Every weekend I go home and my roommates hate this because they like to hang out all together in our room or go out and do something together but I am never there. There are a few reasons that that I do this.

My Trip to Kentucky...Day 4

Sunday October 15th 2017

 

                Sunday morning we woke up and once again had to be ready to leave at 9:00 AM, this time with all of our stuff packed up so we could check out of the hotel. We loaded everything into the vans and headed to church. The interpreter found a church which had Deaf Sunday school about 30 min from the hotel and not too incredibly far from the Ark Encounter. When we arrived she looked at me and told me I would be interpreting Sunday School, and she meant it, kind of.

Adventures as a Teaching Tech

For EQS (Equestrian Science) majors at WWU, there are a series of classes called Teaching Tech. The first class is a theory class, where students learn basic teaching concepts and how to formulate lesson plans. Once the student is first aid certified, they can take Teaching Tech 2, 3, 4 and Seminar. During these classes, the student chooses their main riding discipline and becomes an assistant for the instructor during riding classes. Here are my experiences as a tech so far!

My Trip to Kentucky...Day 3

Saturday October 14th 2017

 

                We woke up the next morning, got ready for the day, and ate a hot breakfast at the hotel, before meeting in the lobby at nine. For some of us (me) this was normal, other people thought this was the crack of dawn. Before we set out we passed out our matching T-Shirts so we could easily find each other at the museum that day. Then we all piled into the vans and rode over to the museum where we had a group picture taken first thing so we wouldn’t forget.

Celebrate the Holidays with Us...Halloween

On one spooky day, Aly and Megan dressed up. Hey guys! It’s Aly and Megan reporting on what we did for Halloween. Halloween was a Tuesday this year and we decided to dress up even though we still had classes, but no costume contest this year at the Woods. Aly dressed up as a Witch this year and she dressed up for the whole day. Megan on the other dressed up as the Grinch for the event the CA’s were putting on that night.

My Trip to Kentucky.... Day 1&2

Sometime over the summer the Deaf Sunday School at my church found out about Deaf Day at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. It was a day for Deaf from all over to come to the Museum when they knew it would be completely filled with other Deaf and there would be Interpreters around every corner to help. We were all very excited about the trip and plans were made. There were 23 of us altogether including:

• 4 Deaf,
• 1Hard of Hearing,
• 1 Interpreter,
• 1 future Interpreter (me!) 
•  3 CODA’s (Child Of a Deaf Adult) (one of which was the interpreter)
• 2 other people who know ASL
• 4 people who are learning or simi-fluent in ASL
• 8 people who know 30 signs or fewer

 I wish I had kept a log every night of what had happened that day; I did not, however I took a lot of pictures to show you all and I am writing from memory, Yay Me!
