Winter Quarter Debrief

Hey guys! I am so sorry that I have not posted in a while. This quarter was super crazy towards the end. But now I am home and getting ready for Spring quarter so I will post more as I can, and if you want to ask for any specific posts please let me know by posting on the Facebook page (Ordinary Adventures of Sarah Hoot) or by contacting me through the blog itself (basically send me an email). And I think that I will be starting a new section of posts with recipes, and this summer will be a new series of posts about the #RameyRoadtrip so tune in for them starting in July.

And now for the debrief!

Well as I said Winter quarter was crazy, I was taking four classes for 19 credits: French, Math, Humanities, and French Comics. There were lots of books for this quarter seven for french comics and three for Humanities. All were very good and I will definitely keep all of them (and there will be a comic review of the books from Comics class eventually).

Along with my classes, I became an officer in the CWU Cosplay club and got cast for a French/English play. The play is titled Montjoie Palestine, which is a dramatic poem about the Six Day War in Palestine. We will be performing on Friday April 8 at 7 P.M., it is free to watch and for those interested will be in Hertz 119.

I have also been in the process of making a new cosplay! This one is going to be my new go-to if  I ever get it finished and will probably be my Halloween costume since it's costing lots of money to put it together. My cosplay is of Kaylee Frye from the show Firefly; for anyone that doesn't know the show Kaylee is the mechanic on the firefly class ship Serenity, I recommend watching the show since it is super good (though be warned, you will get attached and you will hate the ending). So far I have the parasol done, the patches for the coveralls, the shirt, and the boots  I am going to wear, the only thing left that I need to find (which is proving to be the toughest part of the whole outfit) are her coveralls. Like I said, if it ever gets done it will be my new go-to cosplay for any events where it's needed.

What else.....

Oh yes, big news. So since my last post I have gone to the gastroenterologist's and found out about some of my health problems. I was officially diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), basically what the deal is is that my body has a harder time processing certain foods which can lead to a variety of different issues. The doctor told me to do an elimination diet starting with doing a trial period of a Low FODMAP diet and then reintroducing certain foods to test my tolerance levels. Since  I went to the doctor's which was over Super Bowl weekend I have not taken any stomach medication, which is a big deal because before going to the doctor's I was taking meds almost every other day just to be able to eat. So that makes me super happy of course because now I can get ready for the roadtrip and the future.

Well that is my life up to date. I am doing really good and enjoying a much needed break at home and getting ready for the next quarter. Thanks for sticking around!

Ramey Road Trip Day 6: First Family Visit

Image
Today was another day of just driving goodness. There were no side stops planned since we were trying to get to where we were staying for the night so the Rameys could spend some time with their relatives. So mostly we drove….. Jared and I watched a lot of Game of Thrones (we are currently in the middle of season five) and made pit stops every once in a while. The main highlight of the trip was that we crossed the Missouri River. That was pretty neat, there was a rest stop on the other side of the river that had a small Lewis and Clarke museum and an overlook where you could go and see the bridges across the river. Then guess what happened next?? More driving…… We drove for a couple of hours more until we got to the next cool thing. This time we were crossing the Mississippi River! We went to another rest area for lunch and hiked down a trail to the lookout spot where you could see part of the river. After lunch it was back to driving. We drove and drove and drove unti...

Ramey Road Trip Day 24-25: The Long Trip Home

Image
Good morning everyone! Here is another two-for-one special! Remember the flat tire incident from the other day? Well yesterday we had to go get it taken care of. Mama Ramey woke Jared and I up so that we could move and they could drive to the local Les Schwab to get it fixed up. While the mechanics were working on the car all of the kids slept and the parents went to Denny's to get some breakfast. With breakfast consumed and tires fixed, we set back out on the road. The whole day was pretty much spent driving with very few pit stops. Though we did stop at a bridge where Evil Kenevil did one of his stunts and watched some people base jump. Then we just drove until we got to our campground which was in Oregon this time. Once we got there Jared, CC, and I went swimming for a bit before we all got out to go and eat dinner. Then Jared and I went to the arcade to play some games (there were some really old games) until it closed and we went back to sit around the fire. We both hung o...

Ramey Road Trip Day 21: Desert Days

Image
Today started very early for some reason. Mama Ramey wanted to get up and go right away so she got us up out of our bed and had us move to the big bed so that they could start driving. We didn't officially wake up until like 9:30.  So we pretty much drove a lot today. We had two scheduled stops but that was it. The first was to Four Corners. For those who don't know, Four Corners is basically a place where you can stand in four states at once: Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. So we stopped for a bit and took our pictures, there were also a bunch of vendors set up around the patio area selling different wares so we looked around for a bit. Then we headed back to the RV so we could eat lunch, everybody except Austin and I had Indian tacos which are tacos on top of fry bread. I had a chicken salad sandwich and I am pretty sure Austin just had chips.  Then we set off so we could get to our next stop. This time we were going to a place called Mesa Verde National Park...
