The Transfer from Wapakoneta

    Here we are in the second week of classes and just when I thought things were getting better, we got another curveball. Just as we started this second week, we got some snow which was nice to finally get to have some snow to enjoy, but made the roads bad to drive on and the sidewalks not fun to walk on. As I was getting stuff from my car Monday morning, I noticed the snow was accumulating to the point wherever I stepped I got my shoes full of snow. This led to the rest of the morning being miserable because I had wet socks. After I was out of class and had a little bit of down time I was able to get changed and kind of have a reset on the day, I was finally able to start enjoying what was left of the day. This allowed me to catch up on homework and get ahead in some classes. The rest of that day started to carry over into the following days as my days began to get better and things became clearer of what I needed to have done and what I was expected to do. This has been another interesting week with the transfer from Wapakoneta. Has anyone else had anything interesting happen to them this past week?

    This snow was horrible, I was kinda hoping they would cancel classes even though I knew they wouldn't. I hope your adapting to being a Polar Bear well so far! Don't be afraid to reach out if you need help with anything.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I think wet socks is the worst possible feeling in the world! I cannot stand it when they rub against my feet as I walk. It's so hard! Especially because I can't wear my snow boots for more than twenty minutes without excruciating pain! UGH!

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in our last month of classes. After this month is over, we only have a few days in May to take our exams and then we are off on summer break. I will be spending my weeks leading up to these exams studying a lot so I can keep my grades up. We just started our second week of spring practices this week. Things are starting to come to me quicker as I am still learning all the tag words and signals but overall, it is going well. This week my family and I have been planning our vacation that we are taking this summer and needless to say I am ready for summer. How is everyone else’s life going?

 Here we are another week down and things are still going well. We just got back from a nice surprise four day weekend because of snow. I spent my days from last Wednesday night to Saturday afternoon pushing and plowing snow from the cab of our skid loader. I plowed anywhere from 20-25 driveways during each day while pushing big industrial lots and gas stations in the nighttime. This left little time for sleep. Each day I was awake and pushing snow every morning by 4 a.m. and not being done until 9-10 p.m. in the evening. While I knew we were going to get some snow, but I was not totally sure how much we would be getting, I used my Facebook marketing knowledge to let the people know in my surrounding area that I would be cleaning driveways out for $25 a driveway. This led to people telling other people and the word got out and I got super busy. I was able to make quite a bit of money over this three day time period and help people of the community out. Did anyone else do anything o...

The Transfer from Wapakoneta

Here we are in our second to last week of classes and let me tell you the senioritis is coming back. My classes are starting to wind way down. Last week I only had class Monday and Tuesday because my classes got cancelled for the rest of the week. This made for really easy week sort of. When I say sort of, I mean I had to go home and help on the farm. We had some gorgeous days last week and the weekend. We started to get into the fields to start side dressing end rows with anhydrous. We apply the rest of the anhydrous when the crop has emerged from the ground because it is more effective. The reason we do the end rows before it is planted is because we do not want to run over as much corn. We also spread hog manure on our field that we were going to plant our hay crop on. We then planted that field after we finished spreading. We planted till about 12 a.m. until we ran out of seed. I will say that it was a relief that we ran out of seed, or we would have been planting all night long. T...
