First Few Weeks on Campus

 First Few Weeks on Campus

     After starting my sophomore year and getting through the first week, I have started to get moving in my classes. Assignments have started coming in and making me busier than I would like to be. It is not just fun and games anymore now that my professors have kicked it into gear. That does not mean that college is not any fun anymore though. Now it is about getting back into the balance of getting all your work done so you can enjoy yourself while you are at college.

            My classes have really started to take me out of my comfort zone. I really do not enjoy writing things that can be seen by others but here I am writing on my blog. Not only that but in one of my classes,  I was assigned to write a story for the school newspaper. I was super nervous about that because the whole student body could get easy access to my work. The nerves faded when my friends told me that my work was actually pretty good. Those comments really helped me come out of my comfort zone and be less nervous about writing for the public eye. 

            This week is also homecoming week for our school. So, we have had some activities going on campus. On Wednesday September 21st, there was a glow night outside of the University Center. That consisted of karaoke, bumper cars, laser tag, and much more. We also have homecoming games this week for some of our teams, such as women's volleyball, women's soccer, and men's soccer. That is not even the craziest thing that has or will go on this week. 

            We had an incident on Tuesday, where we were supposed to have a fire drill so everyone would know what to do if an actual one occurred. Little did we know that we would not even need the drill, all because on that day, an actual fire broke out. We all thought it was a drill at first until the University Center had to be evacuated and the fire department started to arrive. There was no serious damage done to the building, but the students did get a wakeup call to start there Tuesday, September 20th. 

            I have also been attending my school's sporting events to show support for the other teams on campus. It is really cool to see people that I talk to on a regular basis, go out and play their sport at a high competition level. This is what the first part of my sophomore year has been like thus far. I hope we will have more fun and entertaining events take place in the future, just like the ones I experienced this week as well.

Last week Before Finals

 The Home Stretch     With only one more week to go until finals and I'm starting to get nervous. Most of my classes I have a good grade so im not that worried about them, but there are 2 classes that I'm nervous about the final for. It also doesn't help that im trying to study but influenza is going around the school. I have been sick 2 times in the past week.  This is also effecting my extracurriculars because I am not able to participate. making it  to class has been extremely difficult because of this but I am managing. There are some things to look forward too though.      I am excited to get all of my finals done though because I want to go home and see my family. Also getting this break is going to be amazing because school is draining me. All finals does is make students stress out about their grades and I am ready for that to be over. The only part im not looking forward too is not being able to play volleyball over break. I feel like sitting at home doing nothing

Spring Time

      With spring in full swing allergies and illnesses are starting to run rampant. Me and my roommates have been hit pretty hard with this. 8 of the 12 people in my suite are currently sick, this includes me. Being sick at the end of the school year is difficult because bringing yourself to do all your activities for the day is really difficult.     Also with summer around the corner spring cleaning is coming into play. Spring cleaning is a 50/50 chance of  the clean being done quick or finding some nasty stuff that you never knew was there. Fortunately we were clean enough throughout the year so our clean didn't take too long and their was no lingering trash.     To end us off I wanted to talk about the MLB season so far. More particularly the fact that my favorite team, the Oakland A's are horrible. They have the worst roster and record in baseball and they expect the fans to help them pay for a brand new stadium. I think they should focus on not being the worst team before

Move In Week To Begin My Sophomore Year

August 29, 2022   First Blog Post   Kevin Fiedler CO 280    My Fist Week of School Hello, I am a sophomore student at Mount Mercy University. This year I got to move out of the freshman dorms that had no AC and moved to the sophomore and above dorm. I cannot tell you how nice it was when I walked into my new room for the first time and felt the air conditioner running. I got really excited knowing I wouldn't be sweating in my own room during the first few weeks of school this year. I just moved in this past Sunday and gave myself a few days to get situated before the school year kicks off. The first few days were fun spending time with my new roommates and decorating our rooms together. That fun didn’t last long though because we knew school was right around the corner. The time for all fun and games was ending, and the second chapter of our college school life was starting. Going to bed on that Tuesday night knowing that I had to wake up early the next day for my first class was n
