COD has officially begun this week. I am taking twelve credits this summer instead of 8 like I did last year. With that being said, I am very excited because it gives me the opportunity to get back into the swing of things with tests and projects. One of the things that I am goingContinue reading “Official COD Start”

My summer semester is unique because my yoga class starts and ends two weeks before all of my other classes. I am going to have roughly 90 minutes of astronomy per day, which is a lot of work but work it. I started my yoga class on Monday, Ray Graham started on Thursday and myContinue reading “Beginning of Summer Semester”

We had a minor incident after the New Year on our Fantasy Football league because of Damar Hamlin’s injury. It caused the Bills-Bengels game to get cancelled. This was the first time in NFL history this has happened. The following week was the first Bill-Patriots game in Buffalo since Kaydee Lyons passed. It really madeContinue reading “Hamlin, Fantasy Football Champ, Trainer, Volunteer”

Happy New Year. At our (casual) New Years Eve dinner, we talked about things that we are going to work on in the upcoming calendar year. Uncle Tom My Mom My Dad As for me I personally love the fact that, even when the dorms are closed, I am still able to keep in touchContinue reading “New Years”

We have had a mix of festive time and normal work between Christmas and New Years. First of all, I would like to talk about the Escape Room. On Tuesday, the four of us piled into the Q5 and headed into La Grange for an Escape Room. It was a very challenging room and weContinue reading “Between Christmas and New Years with illumination lights and escape room”

Merry Christmas. We are very fortunate to have Uncle Tom with us and share our traditions with him. The festive part has been quite busy. I did a lot of grocery orders in secret of my parents — green beans, cranberries, oranges, roast vegetables and cornbread ingredients– and no one knew. We also had stuffingContinue reading “Christmas”

Since the dorms closed we have been quite busy with a lot of holiday preparation. We started by making the bridge between flying with a parent and alone because Dad was on the plane with me but I was seated separate. We got back to Western Springs on Friday (a day earlier than expected) andContinue reading “Holiday Preparation, Blizzard”

During our final week at home (between COD ending and driving back east), we have been quite busy. I completed my drivers education course and I also got my learners permit. It was a drive, but worth it. I had to take a vision and written test, both of which I passed the first timeContinue reading “Last Week at Home”

We did have a situation when Dad tested positive, but here are the highlights from the week. Longest Bike Ride: Mom and I biked all the way from our house to Oakbrook Mall. We made it all the way to Shake Shack yesterday, despite being tired. End of COD: I have passed all my classesContinue reading “England’s Win, Final Week at COD”

On Wednesday, Uncle Tom arrived in Chicago. On Wednesday and Thursday, I still had Community College — I am trying to get all my work done by the end of this weekend so that I can feel relaxed. I am also working on my driving permit. On Thursday, Tom, Dad and I drove to theContinue reading “Education, Support, Tom’s Visit”
