Week 10 (Spring Break!)

-


This week was a well deserved break. I spent a lot of time sleeping in, getting my "me time", and seeing my boyfriend. On Saturday, it was my boyfriend's birthday. Before I went to his house,  I went to my old high school and taught choreography for their musical. After that, I went to his house and then went out to eat with his family at Burger Social. Then we ate lemon cake at his house. On Sunday, I went to counseling, and nyso (naperville youth symphony orchestra) in the afternoon. Then, my boyfriend and I went to my house to eat dinner with my family. We all went to Scene75 for the first time. It is this huge arcade and attraction center. We spent a lot of time playing air hockey and playing mini bowling. 

On Monday morning, my boyfriend and I made breakfast. We made scramble consisting of eggs, onions, peppers, seasoned ground chicken, and cheese. I took the rest of the day to rest and paint. On Tuesday, I drove to my boyfriend's house. We hung out in the early afternoon and we watched Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark. He then left to go to DePaul to attend a masterclass. I went back home and practiced my instrument a lot and spent time to myself. On Wednesday, I spent the morning talking with my mom and catching up. I had a great time being able to just talk with her. Later on that day, my boyfriend picked me up and we went bowling together for his birthday. It was unlimited bowling so got to play many games. We bowled six consecutive games to be exact. 

Thursday was another ''me time" day. I watched videos and practiced all day. On Friday, I vegged out till the evening. In the evening my boyfriend came over and had dinner with my family. Then my boyfriend and I went to Scene75 again, played air hockey their, and then went to Crumble Cookies. Saturday my boyfriend, his family, and myself celebrated his mom's birthday. We went to J. Alexanders and ate ice cream cake at his house. I had a great time this week and am so grateful for the time I got!

Week 12 (Rational Argument Topic)

I am exploring the  topic of slaughtering techniques of chickens and their humaneness. My mom loves learning about different things and doing research on them. Last summer she found articles about how farm slaughter chickens and how relaxed the rules are in the U.S. versus Europe. She shared lots of information to be and I found it very fascinating. So, I am taking this opportunity to learn more about the different methods of slaughtering chickens and figuring out which ones are humane or not.   (This is the electrical stunning way) Chickens g o through a very stressful process to eventually get slaughtered. The most common way: Chickens are first put in crates as they are being shipped to the slaughterhouse. Then, workers put shackles on the chicken’s feet and they hang upside down and dangle by their feet. They are connected to an automated line and submerged into a pool of electrified water. This is so th...

     My name is Kenadie Dawson. I am majoring in instrumental music education. My main instrument is the french horn. I do also dabble with trumpet here and there. I am in North Central’s Concert Winds and their Athletic Bands. Music has been a main part of my life for a very long time. I grew to love band and the people. So much so that I want create that fun environment for others. I have always liked teaching, and so music is the added plus. Music and band in general really helped me through a negative time in my life. It’s my goal to help kids in a positive manner through the rewarding environment of band.         Other than playing my instrument, I really enjoy nature and hiking. Being surrounded by trees is just a wonderful feeling that allows me to be free. I like to go on a lot of walks alone in forests. It’s a great way for me to distract myself from the challenges of day to day life. Being in nature also helps me reflect on myself a...

Week 14 (Spring Weather!)

The weather has been amazing this past week. I walked outside and I could breathe the fresh air and not wear a coat. It is such a relief feeling like spring is coming. Spring is my favorite season and it seems like each year spring gets shorter and shorter, so I am definitely taking advantage of this weather. Another thing that has been great is the fact that people were outside hanging out and it felt like a lively campus. It has been a while since this campus has felt like that. Due to the wonderful weather, my family and I took advantage of it and spent the day together on Saturday. My mom, her partner, my grandma, and sister all picked me up and we headed to Starbucks. My mom gets a lot of gift cards from work so it is nice being able to get a treat once in a while. My sister and I split a mocha frappuccino, which was very yummy. We then went to the Morton Arboretum! We have been going there every since I was little. We decided to go on particular day because it was the prime time ...
