Goalball Tourny

7 hours of goalball, 8 games, 0 substitutes, 1 third place trophy and too many bruises to count!

professor of the year

Filed under: College, Quotes — admin @ 2:42 pm

After a discussion in English about conflicting opinions between teachers and students, and how some teachers grade with bias, my professor shared a story which resulted in this comment written at the end of his paper:

“…I find you morally repugnant.”
-Professor Brown, English Dept.

This student still got a B after writing about a disgraceful white supremacy-esque topic, but I think my professor handled it nicely.

Goal Ball

Filed under: Advocate, College — admin @ 9:34 pm

Today I had my first experience with goal ball. It is a sport for the blind and visually impaired. It was probably the coolest thing I’ve seen when it comes to sports. I volunteered to help the team’s practice and then I went back to play for myself with other college and grad students. There is a tournament in two weeks that I want to get a team together for.

Basically you are blindfolded by goggles covered in electrical tape. Then you roll a ball with bells in it and you listen for it and dive in the direction you think it is to block it from going over the goal line. It is intense and painful but a whole lot of fun!

I went swimming for the first time here at school with Karen. Let me just say, if you are going to drown, I can’t save you. I am such a horrible swimmer its sad.

Easter!

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:51 pm

I spent Easter weekend at Brenna’s house! It was very lovely. Her neighborhood is beautiful and her family is so sweet (and great cooks)! We went on an adventure in the woods, explored her neighborhood, fell asleep while studying outside and ate delicious meals. I also watched more sports than ever in one weekend – I consider it a learning process for my future career options. The Easter holiday was lovely with her family, her mommy even made me a basket :) And now, the next week must begin.

Only five weeks left!

The weather is lovely this afternoon and will continue through the weekend!

By the way, meet Brenna: my future roommate and Easter hostess. She is lovely.
