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 for the magnolias. 

Once we got there, it was beautiful. We spent a lot of time just staring at the flowers blowing in the wind. We took lots of pictures of us in the flowers and of the flowers. I really enjoyed strolling down the path and viewing the magnolias. I am so happy for how nice it was out. Some rain did pass through, but then it went away. We finished the evening by going to a Mexican restaurant called Lima Fresca and ate outside. I got the three taco combo, which was where you pick three different tacos to eat. It was a great way to spend the nice weather. I hope it continues!

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...
