Class is Cancelled???

No they were not, but one of my classes was. Woke up at 8 am got the update about my 10 am Spanish being cancelled and went back to bed. It is very unlikely that Wabash will close because of snow, supposedly I heard that one time a president of the college closed the school because of snow and soon after was no longer president.

Even with classes in, there is supposed to be a campus snowball fight on the mall. Being from Texas this sounds freaking awesome and of course I am going to be a part of it. I don’t have snow gloves but I think I know when the frostbite starts coming in. I will tell ya’ll how it went tomorrow afternoon.


Winter, Colds, Injuries

It’s winter, if you didn’t notice all the white stuff outside and the multiple times it has dropped below 0 degrees, well you know now. Back in high school you could wear shorts to school this time of year still because the only time you were cold was the 200 meter walk from the car to the front door of the school. In college you are outside more than half a dozen times when walking to classes, and feel every bit of the biting wind and cold temperatures.

Remember when you got sick in high school and could miss two days of classes just to make things up afterwards. That’s doesn’t really happen in college for the most part. There is no mom (Love you Mom) to sit and give you sprite and chicken broth, there isn’t some assignment you didn’t do because you didn’t know about it, there is a syllabus and your own resources. If you get sick, try and get plenty of rest, take some medicine, and GO SEE THE HEALTH CENTER if it is truly that bad. Do whatever you can to stay healthy and not get behind.

If you’re in a sport and feel injured, then GO SEE THE TRAINERS. Do not wait several days to hope it fixes itself. Any serious pain she get looked at and observed, because you decided to play college sports to be a better athlete. So take advantage of any tools and support the school offers you in being a better Wabash Mathlete (Man-Athlete). That joke wasn’t very funny, but I thought it was when writing it so it gets to stay.

Stay warm readers!

Indiana Runner at Wabash

IndianaRunner.com is a website that helps to connect the Indiana running (mainly high school) scene across the state. It’s forums allow for runners across the state to interact, discuss upcoming meet predications, spikes (they’re not called cleats), and so on and so forth. For past several years the website has hosted the Indiana Runner Distance Showcase at several different venues around the state. The meet only consists of distance events ranging from the 800 meters to 3200 meters, as well as some distance relays. In a state known partially for its running it is a pretty cool event to have hosted here at Wabash this year.

The event tends to attract some of the faster high schoolers in the states as the Hoosier State Indoor meet approaches, as well as outdoor track season is drawing ever closer. It provides a small insight into the fitness of a number of potential state track competitors at this time in the year. So runners that I know of that are running are Colin Rinne from Westfield, Alex Calisto of Logansport (Go Berries), Dominic Patacsil of West Lafayette, and Madeline Lilly of Twin Lakes. Good luck to all of them and the other runners competing in today’s various events!
