In Their Words

Tunbridge

I finally was able to go to Tunbridge World Fair for fun with my friends, not being a volunteer there. It was really fun going with the rugby girls. I was able to see the oxen. I fell in love with them and I learned so much from this girl who was showing them. I even got her contacts. Her oxen was named Oden and Thor. They were only 7 yrs old too, and they live up to 17-20 years. The next morning I had to get up at 0500 to get ready for volunteering at Tunbridge. It was so cold when we woke up, but thank goodness, the sun came out around 0800. I was placed at the Alpha gate to be a ticket vendor, which is the main entrance.

Get to know me!

Hi Everyone! I introduced myself very briefly in my first post, but I thought I'd go into more detail about myself. I'm from a small town in Massachusetts right outside of Worcester where I've relatively lived most of my life. I am choosing to get my Bachelors in Nursing with a Minor in Psychology, to eventually get my masters degree as a Physician Assistant. I am on the Corps side of Norwich, in Army ROTC. I will be attending bootcamp this summer and officially joining the Army National Guard. I am also playing Women's rugby here which I'm excited for. I have been an athlete all of my life playing numerous sports and getting active. I'm a first generation college student, as well as military entry, so everything is really new and I'm definitely excited to be starting this new journey! Read more →

They had some country music playing and we danced a little to that. I wasn't sure whether there would be too many people there and it would start to get rowdy, but it wasn't at all. We kind of just watched the fire and chatted while listening to the music. I really enjoyed it and I liked getting out of my room for a few hours. I have been spending a lot of time in my room lately because of the quarantine, which is making me less motivated to get some work done, so this was a nice little escape from reality for the time being. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the cold if... Read more →
