 In this week in my life, The football team has finally found our groove in a close game with Saint Marys University and we won that game with a blocked field goal. That win now improves our odds of winning the conference this year because of our record in the conference. Our season has turned around for the better and honestly, I am excited for what comes next with this program. I got to talk to the people in the register office and I actually got to start my minor next semester my minor is gonna be Psychology which was gonna be my major if I hadn’t chosen Communications first. I’ve gotten better with my photography and my modeling has gotten better too. I say this because I am taking the lessons I learned in my Intro To Film class about how angles and lighting affect the way a picture is conceived by its audience or the person who takes the picture. Halloween was this weekend and I of course went to a couple of parties like some of my peers on campus, plus I also am trying to be more extroverted because I am usually Introverted on a day-to-day basis. Speaking of Intro To Film, we started watching the Barbie movie and it was not a bad movie. Before watching the movie, I thought it was gonna be a super girly and childish movie, then after watching it, I realized why it did so well in theatres and why a lot of people went to watch it more than once. It revels in the themes of body love and self-acceptance bumping up against society's unrealistic expectations for women. It really highlighted how the normative societal patriarchy can negatively impact both women and men. The way it forms a spiritual connection between women of different generations, passing down their hopes and dreams for a better world for those who come after them. By taking Ruth's (the creator of Barbie's) hand, Barbie becomes another link in this infinite chain of mothers and children, and how in the end she becomes human. What really threw me off was the appointment Barbie had at the very end of the movie.

  In this week's blog post, this week was a little more tough for me. Starting the week was supposed to be with weight at six in the morning, but due to the JV game that day, we got the morning off. With the morning off I went to the cafe and ate a light breakfast before going to my eight am class where we read and told stories. To be specific, children’s books. After was my Intro to Theatre class where we were going through a review for an assignment on Friday. Once that class was over, I went and got a quick bite at the cafe and then went to my Mass Journalism class followed by my Mass Communications class. After classes were done, we had three pm meetings discussing the game plan for Bethany. Once meetings were done, we got a little time to ourselves before we all headed to watch our JV Warriors take on Bethany and ended up losing. Tuesday was a refreshing day because I only had film at six o’clock in the morning with defense as we prepared for our next game versus Bethany at th...

  This week in my life is very interesting. I say this because it’s homecoming week in Sterling. I didn’t know what homecoming was like here, but to sum it up it’s more like a high school homecoming week, to say the least. In high school, I didn’t participate in homecoming festivities. Honestly, I didn’t participate this week either that much because of the amount of work I have been turning in and the studying I have been doing because midterms are coming and I want to be prepared. The only theme I remember was the cowboy day because someone walked into my Oral Interpretation class with a pair of boots that were to their knees and a cowboy hat that was about the size of their whole head. Since it was Homecoming week, the practices were aimed a little more on the serious side compared to how fast-paced our practices are because we were playing the number sixteenth teen in all of NAIA, the Southwestern College Moundbuilders. We ended up losing that game which really stucked especial...

 Since coming to Sterling my experience has been good. I have adjusted to my classes pretty nicely and found my group of friends. I also found a good balance between my student life and athlete life. For the most part, I have been in a laid-back state and I have been caught on my work for all my classes. Overall I have nothing to complain about.
