Hey guys!
I was sittin here thinking about what I should write about this week and I was thinking about my weekend and if anything would be interesting to anyone reading this. Then I realized that I can just tell you what I did so you can get an idea of what to do around here in your downtime!
I know I listed some things to do in one of my earlier blogs, so I won’t repeat those. I will repeat how sometimes people have misconceptions about the Mount and how there is nothing to do because we are a smaller institution. Those people couldn’t be more wrong! We may be smaller, but we know how to have fun! And the fact that downtown Cincinnati is about five minutes from campus helps a little too.
My weekend started out with the Mount St. Joseph volleyball tournament that hosted about six NCAA Division III women’s volleyball teams. I actually was working the scoring table at the tournament for the weekend, which is the best seat in the house! After the tournament concluded on Friday, I headed straight for Chipotle (I have to keep up with my training for intramural soccer) and then headed to one of my buddy’s houses to hang out for a few hours.
Saturday started with class, which started out as kind of a drag but ended up being kinda fun. Then I worked the second day of the volleyball tournament and saw the Mount’s team dominate. After the tournament, I headed to Ft. Wright, Kentucky (which is right across the river, about a ten minute drive) with my girlfriend, Katelyn, to watch my old wrestling drill partner fight his first Mixed Martial Arts fight at an amateur event. That was crazy! I had been to a couple amateur fights and the venue wasn’t the best I’ve been to, but there were probably about 50 Mount students there to support Elliott. I thought that was pretty cool. (For those of you who care, Elliott won in the first round by knockout by a trapped arm chest to back suplex) After the fight, pretty much everyone from the fight and quite a few more students all met up at the wrestling house for a little victory celebration, which was a blast!
Sunday, I woke up around nine and Katelyn and I headed downtown to tailgate for the Bengals game. They were playin the Cleveland Browns, which is a big rivalry. The tailgating was fun and the experience of bein at the game was fun, but the actual game sucked. It seemed as if both teams should have lost, just one (the Bengals) seemed to lose worse than the other! It’s okay though, I still had fun and I had good company so it was all good.
So there’s the list of stuff I did this weekend. There was a lot goin on, as usual. The campus and the city usually offer some fun and exciting things that keep me busy. I hope some of you get to experience some of these things and enjoy them as much as I have!
