Classes are overrr!

Sooo finals are finally doneeee and we are free from school for about a month. Thank goodness. Since finals have ended a lot has been going on with the jackets.A few days ago we had our basketball Christmas party which was a blast as always. We had our white elephant gift exchange and I think Coach Heather wins the funniest gift with the Browns ticket for a game on December 4th! Yesterday we went to the holiday luncheon where we got to eat a delicous meal and sing Christmas carols. I'd like to add that even though they did not announce it, we won the award for being the loudest on the Twelve Days of Christmas. Also today coach told us the winning gpa team!! Which was the Gold Team of course and it just so happens that it is the team I am on. So way to go Gold Team :). Now we get to go home for a few days for Christmas then its back to the hive to get back to work to win the tournament in Florida! Lets go Jackets :)

More Basketball Fun

Hey all! We only have two more weeks left until Christmas break! I can't wait! :) December is going to be a good time. Basketball, team bonding, no school, and Florida! This past month I made it to Cleveland for the first time with one of our other freshman, Jenna Andreas! It was awesome. We went to the art museum, shopping, little italy, rock and roll hall of fame, and saw some local art! It is one of my favorite days I have had at BW so far! Other than my adventurous and exciting life, school is getting challenging yet rewarding. All my classes are going well and I really hope my g.p.a. team doesn't have to cook dinner! Overall, my time at BW is going excellent! I am excited for the rest of the season and can't wait to do big things! :) So long jackets.

Hey Yellow Jacket followers! The team had a nice weekend to go home for Thanksgiving and spend some time with our families and what is even more exciting is that the OAC season is underway! Very excited to see how our conference plays out. Each team is extremely talented this year and each game will be very competitive and definitely a show to watch. We still have big plans this season and can't wait to prove ourselves to everyone.

Finals are coming up next week and everyone is doing really well in their classes. Cannot wait til Christmas break and do nothing other than what NBA players do... wake up, eat, play ball, work out, eat, sleep. Sounds so thrilling!

See you all Wednesday night (5/7) at home VS Heidelberg. JV game at 530! Wahoo!!

Happy Holidays and God Bless!!

hiii everyone,

The team is all back at BW and in the home stretch of the semester. Being home for thanksgiving was definitely a nice break. I was so glad to get to spend some time with my family and of course eat a lot of good food. Now we only have two weeks left of classes, finals, and then its WINTER BREAK!!! I'm looking forward to spending time with everyone especially since we will be some of the only people left on campus. Last night, the JV team got the W over Walsh. Shout out to the brown squad. Tomorrow, we will be traveling to Pittsburgh looking to get win #4 over Carnegie Mellon.

TURKEYYYYY

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving =) I just returned back to BW yesterday from our 3 day break, and it was so good to see all of my old friends and spend time with the family! I ate so much I couldn't move for a solid few hours after dinner, so it was a successful turkey day. We are now 3-1! Although it stinks to be sitting out right now, i LOVE watching my team play!!! I enjoyed my first experience going out of town with the team, but I do have mixed feelings about my first mini bus ride though lol. Everyone is working super hard and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for us! I am loving my time here at BW with this group of girls and am excited to be spending our Christmas break and rest of the season together!

Almost Turkey Timee!

Hello Everyone!
Just a little update of what has been going on at the hive, we had our tournament in Manchester, Indiana this past weekend. We had a nail biting win against Denision and an unfortunate loss against Manchester in the championship. Needless to say I know EVERYONE thoroughly enjoyed their experience on the mini bus and can not wait until we can ride it again! ;)
On the other side of things it is almost Thanksgiving!! I an very excited to go home and get to see my family and eat some good food. However we have business to take care of first on Tuesday, our game against Case. I know we will all be pumped and ready to go:)

SPEEEEZZYY!

With our first game coming up tomorrow, I just wanted to dedicate one blog to our lone senior this year, Catherine Spisak. Tomorrow will be her last first game ever! Crazy to think about it, but it gives us younger girls more of a reason to play harder. I think I can speak for the whole team when I say this, but we want this season to be the best it can be..not only for each other, but for Catherine because it will be her last. I can't imagine what it will feel like when I encounter my last season, but I know that I would want it to be great. So great is what we will be striving for during Cat's last season. She has put so much time and effort into this program for four years and I hope our accomplishments and success this season will be rewarding enough for her. I know the friendships made and experiences she has had will be satisfying enough for her, but why not give her what she has been working hard for over the past four years. With this being said, we are all super excited for our game tomorrow, but first we must practice and prepare today. We have four games in 8 days, so mentally and physically we must be ready for a fight. Let's go Jackets..I know you have it in you! And let's make this season a GREAT story to tell.

NEVER LET GO ROSEEE

HIIIII everyone!!!!

Sooo it's Saturday, and guess what major event is a mere 3 days away???............................................. The new episode of GLEE!! haha just kidding, it's OUR FIRST GAME!!!!!!! I know I can speak for everyone when I say that it will be very nice to play against someone that is not a member of our team. We have had two scrimmages, but there is really nothing like the atmosphere of a college game. I ahve already had 2 first games and I am just as excited and anxious for this one as I waas when I was a freshman. This weekend has been very busy for me, I went to my very first hockey game last night with Monica Gustin (YJ4L) and tonight I am going to see BW's production of Titanica, which inspired the titel of the blog (I don't actually know anyone named Rose). While there were not as many fights as I was hoping for, the game was really fun, and I'm seriously considering dropping out of college to become a full time crazy hockey fan. I probably would need to actually learn the rules or at least how to ice skate first though. Oh, I almost forgot to write about the ultra-competitive game of charades that we had the night before our Ursuline scrimmage. Myself, Jen, Rachel, Jess C, Pills, Lippy, and a few other not so enthusiastic members of our team acted out movies and tv shows. When I say ultra-competitive, I really man nobody wanting to participate. I had a great idea, and even went to my room to get props (a flying carpet) but Jen guessed Aladdin before I even got to act it out. It really ruined charades for me, thanks Jen. But ummmm I think that about sums it up!! See everyone on Tuesday!!!

Hey everyone!!! We are only days away from our first official game!! :) All the hard work we have been putting in is about to pay off! Our practices have been really intense and everyone's been doing great. We all bust our butts and make each other better every day. Last weekend we had our annual goal setting meeting. Combined with practice we were only at the rec for 7 hours...at least we got fed :) we each shared personal and team goals as well as talked about each other and what we like about one another. My favorite part (besides the yummy food) was making our perspective and vision board. Each of us made a perspective board for our locker with pictures, quotes, or anything that put our lives in perspective and motivated us to work hard everyday. As a team we made a vision board combined with lots of words, quotes, pictures, and anything that motivated us as a team to get better and work hard throughout the season. Our team board looks awesome and I really do believe it will help motivate us :) The team has been getting along great..which is a good thing because now that games are beginning we are going to be together allllllll the time :))) haha we really all do have so much fun together and I look forward to all the memories we will be making this season :) remember if you can't make it to our first game to listen to us on 88.3...the sting ;)
