Wrestling Dual Meet

     Hello all, on December 2, the Mercyhurst Wrestling Team had their very first home dual meet of the season. I happened to land a starting spot! I have to wrestle up a weight class, so the guys I'm wrestling with are a lot bigger than me! I am currently wrestling at 165lbs and I have to eat in order to weigh that much! This past dual meet I had to wrestle the number 3 guy in the country in my weight class. He was one tough son of a gun, but for the first two periods, I held my own only allowing the score to be 2-1. But as the third period rolled around he took me down more times than I wanted and ended up beating me pretty well. He was a tough cookie. Overall, the team beat Ashland University for the first time in 5 years. So it was a really good night!

My First Post!

     Hello all! I'm Jaden Reagle and welcome to my blog! I'm very excited to post here about what I have been reading and my life experiences. Just recently, I started my class called Intro to the English Major. Dr. Reed is my professor and he really keeps the class entertaining. I certainly appreciate his dad jokes.      In the latest class, we read a lot of poetry. I'm not going to act like I am someone who I'm not, so I am just going, to be honest with you. I cannot understand poetry to save my life. Imagine you're 4 feet tall. Now try to jump and slam dunk a basketball, it seems impossible. That is exactly how I feel when it comes to understanding poetry. I really try my hardest and I believe if I keep trying I will eventually get a grasp on it. If anyone has any tips on understanding poetry, I'd love for a response to read and hopefully, it'll help me! Below is a picture to help you understand how much I struggle with understanding poetry.

Starting a New Job

Image
      As of next Tuesday, November 1st, I will have started a new job. I will start working at UPS as a Package Handler. I'm honestly kind of nervous, but I believe I should be just fine. I have had a couple of buddies recently work at UPS and they seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully the same happens for me.      I will be working roughly 4am-8am, but the hours vary. That means I will need to start going to sleep earlier. Wish me luck!

Birthday Lunch

      Hello all! I just recently had a birthday, and I turned 20! I guess I'm finally not a teenager anymore! My mom, brother, grandparents, and girlfriend all came up to Erie for lunch. We went to Firebirds, and I got a full rack of barbeque smoked ribs, with a side of fresh-cut fruit and steaming hot scallop potatoes. Also, I got the lemonade there, and in my opinion, it is to die for. When you order the lemonade, $1.25 goes towards children with cancer. It is called Alex's Lemonade.      Visiting with my family was tons of fun because I haven't seen all of them in so long and loved spending quality time with them! The next time I will see all of them will be Thanksgiving. The above shows my grandparents, my brother, and me.
