September 19th

September 19th, I woke up at 8:30 in my bed at my house since I went home to Wooster this weekend for work. I rolled out of bed, showered, and ate. I then called my coworker asking him to pick me up. He was happy to drive as he had just gotten his new car and looked for any excuse to drive it. He also happens to be my best friend, so I wanted to spend more time with him since I don’t get to see my friends at home much because of college. We drove to Ashland, a town 30 minutes west of Wooster. Once we arrived, we had to park and go into the Ashland County Fair. I work for Redmond Concessions and was in the candy trailer. I was tasked with making candy apples, caramel apples, cotton candy, caramel corn with and without nuts, popcorn, and pumpkin caramel corn. The hardest to make was the pumpkin caramel corn, as I had to slow cook 8 spices and a stick of butter together to make a paste like substance. I then had fire on the caramel kettle and dump in the ingredients. After that, I had to mix it together and let it simmer. Once it all settled, I could add in the pumpkin paste and dump in the batch of corn to mix around with the caramel. I had to ensure that each piece was sufficiently coated in caramel. I then dumped it onto the table and bagged it all up. I also had to serve customers and organize the trailer as the day goes on. I was lucky that it was slow today because I was able to keep up just fine as it was my second time working in this specific trailer and first time making the food. I encountered a few people I knew in high school, so it was nice to be able to catch up with them. I was able to snag my favorite sausage sandwiches from DiRusso’s Italian Sausage during my two breaks so that was awesome. I finished my 12-hour shift, got paid, and left with my friend. We hung out for a bit before he dropped me off so I could go to sleep as I had to drive back to school in the morning. I got inside and showered up. I fed my cats and proceeded to put on a Marvel movie to fall asleep to.

September 15th

     September 15 th , I woke up at 8:30 as I do every day, I then proceeded to shower and get ready for class. During my shower, a bee flew into the bathroom through the window and into my shower stall. I proceeded to panic and try and splash water at it to go away and to my luck, it eventually did. I had Arts/Humanities West Culture first and we began to go over Roman Architecture. We studied the Coliseum and Pont du Gard. We also went over how Roman’s revolutionized the art of building buildings. After that class, I went to Theories of Personalities, and we continued to go over Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theories. We also began to go over his daughter, Anna Freud. After that, I went back to my dorm room with my friend Baca and noticed something missing from the corner of my eye, it was my safe full of money. I proceeded to panic and tear apart my room to no avail. My safe was gone and so was my money. After screaming for a little bit, I decided I should call campus police. They

November 6th

  Today I woke up at 6:30am. This is very early for me but I had to get ready to drive home by 7:30am. I had work in Wooster, Ohio, which is where I live outside of school. I got up, showered, shaved, and brushed my teeth. Once I was done with that, I got dressed and packed my bag with warm clothes as the forecast said it would be 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Once I was packed, I went out to my car and got ready to leave. However, I couldn’t leave when I wanted to due to the fact that it had rained the night before and the water had frozen onto my windows. I had to blast my cars heat while simultaneously using an ice scraper to clear my windows so that I could see and drive safely. This ended up taking me about 10 to 15 minutes. Once my windows were sufficiently cleared, I got back in and began my drive to Wooster. I took Route 70 for about 10 miles before merging onto Route 77 for another 44 miles. Once I reached Dover, Ohio, I merged onto State Route 250 and continued on that path for 30 M

November 2nd

  November 2 nd , Today I woke up at 7:30am which is going to be the new time I wake up at. I enjoy having some time to myself in the mornings either before or after I get ready. Once I felt fully awake, I got up, showered, and got dressed. I sat around on my phone for about two hours before I had my 10am meeting at PLUS with Robin. I drove over there and managed to snag the very last parking spot available. Once I parked, I grabbed my bag from my car and began to walk inside. I ran into my old roommate and we had a quick conversation as we were heading in the same direction. I was excited to get inside the building as it is very cold out today. I went downstairs and went into my meeting where we went over my Theories of Personality class. We specifically went over my notes for the test the day prior and the prospectus paper that is due Friday. I was given a list of ideas to write about for the paper and after the 30 minutes were up, I went back to my car and drove to the nearby Subway
