  Counting Down the Days       There is only one more week left until we get to go enjoy our thanksgiving break. I am super excited for this because not only do I get another break from the stress of school, but I get to see my family again. Am I looking forward to that long lonely boring ride home, absolutely not . Once you get through that it is all fun and games for the next five days though. Even with all these upsides to break coming up, there are some downsides.        First, this means that practice has gone into full swing. This means going 5 days a week for the first time all year. Let me tell you, my legs are starting to feel like jello with all the jumping I must do. On top of that when we get back from Thanksgiving break, we only have 2 weeks left and then finals. You would think this is a good thing because school is about to be done for a while but no. You must get though the most stressful par...

 Start of the Second Half of the Semester     Midterm grades have been posted and lets just say its not what I was expecting. I managed to pass all of my midterms which I wasn't expecting. The one class that I thought I would have failed, I managed to pass it which really brightened up my fall break. That on top of the fact that I was able to go home and see my family for a few days.     That was defiantly the highlight of my break because after a while you start to miss home and your family a lot. I was able to go out to dinner with my parents, brother, and my grandma. Getting to catch up with them about how they have been doing. After that I had to go freeze out doors because my brother had a soccer game I wanted to watch. I think I understand now why my family was happy when I decided to play an indoor sport.     Now that I am back at campus and classes have started it is time to  reajust my schedule...

 Mid Terms and Plans          With the end of the first half of the semester coming up midterms are starting to come in. The homework that I'm getting has decreased a lot but now I am having to study for these big exams. Along with this I am stating to have more practices which is making me busy. This is where my time  management skills need to kick in.          The good thing is that my roommates also have mid terms and most of us have classes together. So we have decided to start studying with each other so we can high marks on our exams. This makes studying way more enjoyable because at least we are doing something we don't like to do, together.  On a better note the NFL season is in full swing now.           This has given me and my roommates some excitement on a Monday and Thursday nights. With football going on t...

 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 t...

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 ...
