The Ride home

I woke up kinda late like 8 am so i could get the car packed and ready for the ride back up here. I did not want to leave home it was hard for me to. I said my good byes to my family and headed to the gas station and get gas and breakfast. I sat there waited for my  friend to get there because she is riding up with me. When she got there it was abut 10 Am so we started off to highway 75 to head north. it was smooth sailing till we got crossed the bridge then everyone was driving slow on the roads so the car were all pilling up with traffic.  So that started to slow down my driving which was adding more time on to my trip. I was trying to get back at a descent time so i could get my homework done and be able to relax. I went to pass this car and my car had like no power to it and i was having trouble getting around the car and there was a car coming towards me and almost hit it but i got around the car. That  was the only scare i had coming back up here. I ended up getting back here around 5 ish so i made good time. I still had a lot of homework to do so i unpacked and started to work on that.

Thanksgiving

I love this holiday behind Christmas. I get to see all my family and eat some of my grandma herbert cooking. My aunt boyfriend came over and brought his mom and uncle. It was weird having new people at our dinner. I helped my grandma cook some food and help her with everything. I ate so much food and i regret it i had like 3 plates worth of food. I had the worst stomach ache when i laid down after eating. I couldnt eat my grandmas homemade apple pie. My aunts bf uncle wife was getting so annoying i couldnt take her being so annoying she would just keep talking about stupid shit. The one thing that really bothered me was her talking about how she kept asking about y grandpa the one that passed away last year. Im still shooken up with him being gone and she wouldnt leave the subject alone. I was already annoyed and i couldnt keep myself from exploding up on her. I told her to shut the fuck up and pretty much drove home without saying goodbye to everyone.

Best Friend

It was nice to see my best friend seth. He has been my best friend since grade school he came home wed. He went to Trine to play football. We have played sports together ever sense 5th grade so it was hard not being on the same team as him this year. I did keep in touch with him while we were in college. It was weird not having him just a mile down the road to call and hang out. Instead he was 15 hours away and are busy times with sports. Well when he got home we went out to eat with our other friend dillion who went to state. He went on a wrestling scholarship so all three of us went on a sport scholarship. When the lunch was over we all went to the movies and saw the mocking jay. I liked it a lot, it didnt have a boring spot in the movie at all. When the long ass movie was over we all went back to dillions house. We watched this movie and hung out with his parents and talked about how college is doing.  we got really bored so we started to play water pong in the kitchen on the kitchen table. Then play ping pong with our phones ya you can say we were really bored.

My animals

I also got to see my lambs from last year. It was hard being away from my animals for that long being with them everyday and then being away from them was hard. I took them for a walk and also showed the kids how to set up a lamb and how to proper show them. I got to play with the pigs which was fun. I like to play a game with one of the hogs is ride it around and she will walk around like a horse and listen like a horse. I also will get in the pen with the pigglist when there big enough and kick a ball around and let them chase it and push it back at me. My favorite to play with is my goat loddy. She comes and tries to headbutt with her head so ill catch her head with my hand and push her back. When i got done playing with the animals my family and I make grave blankets and Christmas reefs. We started doing this about 3 years ago and with me being gone we were behind on orders. So we started to crank them out and when i left we were only behind like 3 orders.  

The new steers

I got to go down to the barn and see the new show steers for this year. I also was excited because i got to teach little kids proper ways to handle a steer and to break them to walk. I was able to get lead ropes on 3 of the 4 but the fourth one was being a little shit. So i had to run him into a head gate so i could put his halter on. The big problem was he started to flip out and kick the safety bars around him. So we had to give him calf calmer which is a paste you give to the calf to calm it down. I had to talk to it and touch it to calm it down so we would be able to walk it around the barn. WHen i took it out of the head gate it started going crazy again so i have to wrestle it to the ground. I finally got it to the ground and held it there till the kids got to a safe place and let him up and put him back in the pen with the other ones. I needed to show the kids the proper technique so i grabbed my od show heifer from last year she was being sassy expalins were she got her name. I started to walk her around the barn and set her up to show the kids how to set up the animal. I let the kids come up to her and pet her while she stood there and ate grain.

Hunting

I woke up at 530 to get all my gear ready to go out hunting. When it was about 630 i loaded my car and headed to the woods it was about 7 when i got to my blind so a little before day break. I started to walk through the foot of snow in the woods. I got to my blind on the edge of the swamp out in the woods. I sat up my pop up blind and got into the blind and got all my gear around and set up. I sat there and called with my calls and just sat there freezing my ass off. Finally i heard something coming from my right. I looked over and i saw brown so i started to look for horns but i couldnt see its head behind the bush. Finally it walked into my shooting lane but it was a doe. I didnt have a doe permanent so i couldnt shoot her. She continued to walk up closer to my blind finally she is sniffing my blind right up close to it i could have reached out and petted her. When you but your tgs you have to have a small game tag to. So since i wasnt seeing any deer i waited for chipmunks to come in. I would shoot them with my little 22 hand gun i carry when i hunt. I shot like 4 of them and brought them home to eat.

The first day home

I woke up in my room kinda confused why i was in my room. It just felt weird to wake up in my own room. I went down stairs to see my family and my mom had breakfast cooked and already sitting on the table ready to eat. so we sat down and ate breakfast and talked and caught up on things. I helped my mom clean up the table and do dishes. Then we went out to watch to tv as a family we looked outside and it starts pouring snow. I told my parents i wasnt going tp leave the house because of the roads. I really wanted to go hunting tho but i didnt have my tags yet. I ended up going to walmart that night to get my tags. I went home in the snow storm when i got home my mom had made us dinner we had some roast from my show steer left over. I ate dinner and  helped my mom clear the table so we could play cards. Its tradition to play cards after dinner in my house the choice of card games are usually poker or uerche.

The drive home

I woke up with excitement knowing in 3 or 4 hours i would be heading home. This would be the first time going home sense I first came up here. I was also nervous because this would be my first time driving home by myself. I didn't leave in till 1230 because i had to wait for a the person that was following me to get out of class.   So when she got out we filled up and took off down the highway and started are way south. The gps said we would be home at 8 so im thinking to myself this is going to be a long ass ride. I did 80 pretty much the whole way home i started to knock off some time. When we got to the bridge it said 730 i stopped and got gas at the bridge and saw that and thought to myself im making good time. We went a crossed the bridge not knowing that the wind was as bad as it was. The wind started to shake my car so i started to get a little nervous but i made it over the bridge safely.  We got over the bridge and was a strait shot home from there. I made it to birch run and had to get gas and get a snack. This was only 25 min from my house so i was getting excited to be home. So i gunned it home and finally i was home i pulled in the drive way and my mom had dinner waiting for me ready to eat. She made my favorite dinner cubed steak, potaotes, and corn.

deer camp

This is the first year of my hunting life that I missed deer camp. That is a family holiday in my family it was hard for me to miss it specially because almost everyone got a deer while they were there this year.  It really is hard this year because its the first year my grandpa hasnt been there because of him passing away . This was hard just not for me but the whole camp because he pretty much was the whole leader of deer camp. He made sure the cabin was all ready for us when we all got up there and just made sure everything went smooth. It will be OK because ill be  heading there this weekend once we get out of classes. I will be spending most of my time off at deer camp hoping to shoot a deer.

The last game

This week was our last football game for the season against Findley. I practiced my ass off all week leaving it all out on the field . since i play scout team i needed to give the defense a good look to make sure they had a good look. It was a pretty crazy week since it was the sr last week of playing. So they were going hard cuz they knew it was there last game. The ride down there to Findley wasnt a bad ride which was nice. The game didnt go as planned we were beating them and they were coming back and they ended up beating us by a field goal. It was a hard loss since we lost a lot of games by field goals. It was a hard loss to because it was the sr last game

Last week= stressful

Last week was a really stressful week both my English classes are doing research projects and it was also a big week for football we played now number one team in the nation. My focus was mostly on that but i had to focus on the essays. The one essay was do on that Friday this one wasn't as  bad because i had researched and focused on that topic i got that typed out and turned in no problem. My 103 project was a different story i put that off till sunday because my parents were up for the weekend and i wanted to spend time with them. So when sunday rolled around i had to read 60 something pages and write this essay i had done no research on. So im sitting there reading stuff on the internet and watching a documentary at the same time writing notes down. When i had enough notes i started typing out this essay to make it to pages wasnt that bad

A wild weekend in Ohio

So this weekend we played Walsh university down in canton Ohio on the hall of fame field. It was my first time ever being to there on that field. We had a 10 hour drive to our hotel in Toledo Ohio, we stayed in a hotel there which was nice. We got another hotel in canton to stay at to eat dinner and change into our gear. We went down to the field and played our game we started out fast started scoring on them. They started to come back on us but we ended up winning the game to put us at 5 and 4. We drove back to the hotel we have in Toledo and got to stay there sat night. I went right to bed cuz i was tired and had nothing to do. We got up the next morning and ate breakfast and had our sunday meetings. We took off shortly after that for home, we got home roughly after 7:00. I was happy to be back so i could get hw done and sleep in my bed. That was a good day because we didnt have to lift and have study hall we just got to relax.

Blog Prompt

The last time i afraid was last year about this time at my towns haunted house. The house is made up of a hay ride, corn maze, and a haunted house. So i was walking through the corn maze and my group and i are way in the back were there no lights. I went around this corner and the girl behind me started screaming. This guy or girl i don't even know what i was because it had a gilly suit. The person had came up behind me to and poked my back with a plastic knife so i turned around and punched them in the arm and threw them to ground. I started to run strait out of the corn maze and just left so i wouldnt get in trouble.

So today started out like any other day i had to get up for breakfast check and ate my normal breakfast that i have every morning. When my en 103 class came around we had to meet in the library and learn how to use the NMU library book search for our research project. i ended up finding a book for my hard copy writing that we have to have. When the class was over i walked back to the mp to eat some lunch and study for my music in society exam. When i was done eating lunch i packed all my stuff up and walked to class in the rain. When I got to class i looked over my notes real quick before we had to take the test. I ended up getting a 78% which is not what i wanted but better then failing. We got out of class like 30 min early so i walked back to my dorm and laid in my bed for like an hour and just laid there and relaxed before practice. When 130 came around i had to go to my meeting and watch film.  We then had practice and that flew by which was nice. Then i had to go to film and then study hall which i am in right now.

The Wayne state trip

we had to be at the dome by 8:30 to load the buses to go to Wayne state for our football game. I got there at 7: 30 to double check to make sure that my bag was all the way packed. I had to make sure i had all my equipment. We loaded the bus and got our breakfast sandwiches and our juice and took off down to Wayne State. We got pretty much to the bridge and the bus i was on started to smoke all over the highway. We had to pull over and get off the bus while the driver looked over the engine. We got back on the bus and drove like a mile down the road to a gas station we always stop at by the bridge. We had to wait for another bus to come so we had to sit there for two hours. We ended up going to the big boys in that town for lunch so we had to cross the road as a team. The new bus came but i wouldn't call it new. The bus was like from the late 80s maybe early 90s. We loaded the bus up and got back on tract to Detroit.When the team got to the hotel we got checked into our rooms so i went up to my room and it over looked Cobo hall. We had a little walk threw in one of the ball rooms. The dinner we had was a really good dinner we had chicken and lasagna. We then had like 3 hours to our selves and then lights out at 11. When we woke up we had breakfast and headed over to the field and we started our game, We ended up loosing our game so the bus ride home kinda sucked.

the writing

Dear Kylee Kowalski ,

The writing we are doing is a an argumentative writing. I dont know what you did but the movie i chose is escanaba in da moonlight. Basically what we have to do is come up with a story/ reading that we have done and pick a secondary character from it. Then we have to tell the story as if that character was the main character. So the character i chose was the jimmer and if you have ever watched the movie its the really crazy one nobody can understand. So my story got pretty crazy with the plot change. Write me back with the type of writing you guys are doing because our teacher said your class is doing something different than our class so let me know.

Argument

So I was at my summer job at a horse farm down the road from me. So its about 7 in the morning and I get to work and i walk in the barn and my boss wrote a note on the board. She was pretty much downgrading me saying how I didn't do any of the watering that Friday I had Saturday off and came in on Sunday. So when i came in i started my chores and fed and watered all the animals. I went to go grab the pitch fork to clean the stalls and it was broken. So i went over to the board and saw that she was blaming me for it. I was not there the day before and it was just fine that Friday when i used it.  So i went inside and i asked nice and said why did you write thsat stuff about me on the board and she was like well the horses had no water when i went out there at night. So said well i left at 3 and filled the water up and it was hot that day so they drank it all up. Then i asked about the pitch fork and she was still blaming it on me. I told her that when i put it back in there that it was was not broken so who ever worked sat must have and she acted like i was calling her a lier. So she told me that she would not pay me for that week endless i went and bought her a new one so i said ok give me the money and she wouldnt. So i had to go to tsc and pay for it myself I came back and said give me my check and threw the pitch fork and quit on the spot.

On Saturday we woke up for our breakfast at 9 we had a really nice breakfast. When we got done eating we had to load the bus and drive back to midland to northwood college.When we got there we had a few minutes to relax and then we had to get ready to go warm up. When we were done warming up we went out to play then game. We ended up loosing the game 20 - 7. So today we had to lift at 2:00 pm which was not fun. When the lift was over we had meetings till 5:00 then we had to go to practice till about 6:00. Then all the younger guys had to put pads on and run 20 plays so we could extra reps. When practice was over we have study tables for the football table now. When this is over i am going out to eat for a nice big hamburger. I think with my day off i am going to sleep in and go drive around and get out and enjoy the day off. At night I am going to study for my music and society quiz that we have Tuesday.

It has been a busy week with getting ready for the game yesterday. Thursday we had like a walk threw practice which was just helmants. On Friday we had to go to be at the dome at 830 in the morning for a easy walk threw before we got on the bus to leave for northwood. When we all got done showing and getting our traveling suits on we started the 6 hour trip to northwood. We drove all the way to the bridge and stop to walk around and get drinks and snacks.we then went over the bridge and did not stop till we got to northwood college. When we got there we went and walked on the field and visioned our self's playing.  When we left there we went to bay city to our hotel. When we got there we got checked into our rooms and have about 30 min before dinner. Since my home town is an hour away my parents came up and seen me at the hotel which was nice because I haven't seen them in 4 weeks. We had dinner and it was really good food garlic mashed potatoes, chicken, and beef tip. When dinner was over we went into meetings. At 1030 we had bed checks so we had to be in our room and lights out at 1100.

9/2/2015

Today I had my en 103 class which was fun. We had to take a quiz over a crazy poem that we had to read about. Then we went over the reading and she told us proper way to highlight and annotate the reading. She then went over our homework for Wednesday because we don't have class Monday. When class was over I went to melted the sandwich shop in hedgecock. I had the mac n cheese swine. It was a sandwich that had mac n cheese on it with pulled pork. I thought it was really good it filled me up. Then at 12 i had my music society class but it was not at the regular class room we met at the place were they have band shows. We learned about proper manners during a concert. We also learned about different instruments we also watched a couple people play them. When that class was over i had to walk back in the rain to my dorm were i got to relax for a half hour before going to practice. I had meetings and then I went threw practice in just uppers which was nice. I went to a pasta place for dinner and now im sitting in study tables till 830 writing this.

Today we had the morning off from football so we can have time to go to church. So I slept in a little bit and went to a church service. I went to the market place for some lunch and got 2 burgers. I went back to my room and relaxed before our team meeting at 4.We talked about how the week is going to go and how practice would be run. I went to the market place for dinner and got the lasagna they were serving. I had some time to relax before I had to go to the football homework session. I am siting in here writing my 3rd blog and getting other homework things I need to get done. Tonight ill probably go back to my dorm and get my things i need for my en 103 class. Then ill probably read up on my music in society reading and listen to some of the music. I will need to go to bed kind of  early tonight because i have breakfast check in the morning at 730. I don't mind getting up that early for that. I am used to getting up early and it helps me get up and going for class so I am not tired for class. I am still trying to get used to this 2 classes a day and getting all this free time. I also don't have practice tomorrow so ill get the day off. I will probably use that to catch up some reading that I don't get done tonight.

Today I had a practice at 920 in the morning the first practice of 2. I went to practice and it was just a helmet practice. The practice consists of a lot of individual work and the special teams went live. We did not go team which was nice didn't have to bang on each other. Then we had about an hour n half break for lunch. We then went into our second practice which was helmets again but we got to wear our game jerseys. we scrimmaged for about 3 quarters then the freshman had to put full pads on and scrimmage full pads. After practice i went to dinner at bdubbs and had some wings.My roommate and I went and drove around campus to look around. I went to Walmart after that to get more drinks for my room and some snacks. I went back to my room and relaxed and watched some t.v.

I come from a little farming town 8 hours away from here called Lapeer. I came to Nmu to play football and to get a degree in construction management. It has been a huge change for me being away from the farm. I am so used to waking up at 5:30 in the morning before school to chores, wash and blow out my show steers and walk them for a half hour. I am also an active member in the FFA which is the future farmer association. I would do a lot of volunteer work and be busy with volunteering at soup kitchens or teaching young kids about agriculture.

It also has been a big change with all different things to do around the town. At home theres not much to do. We have fun by being on the farm and doing hay and helping out your neighbors. Football has been a huge change for me with all the bigger kids and the speed of the kids are different. The meetings and practices are time consuming. It also has been hard being away from my parents without there support up here.
