Communities

I have a remarkable community on campus. Volleyball in and of itself is awesome. We have matches, practices twice a week, and team bonding includes beach volleyball on weekends, bowling, cliff jumping, dinners, and pumpkin carving! Also, without volleyball, I wouldn't have known about the Parkruns hosted on the beach. The Parkrun is a free 5k run fully run and developed by volunteers that takes place all over Europe--- and one just happens to take place a few miles from me. A few volleyball pals and I go nearly every Saturday, and this is followed by tea and coffee supplied by the Parkrun and maybe a cafe for breakfast afterwards.

I love that I've developed a few communities here in Northern Ireland. The first Geography and Environmental Science meeting is this Wednesday at noon. Hopefully I'll have the same immersive experience with this club as I did with volleyball :-)

Mine was the Simba at the beginning! From this carving session, I've roasted pumpkin seeds and made pumpkin pancakes and muffins :-)

My first match against a neighboring school Bangor. We took the W: 3-0. 

At Parkruns, we celebrate their 50th run, 100th run, 150th run, ect. We're holding up our pal Spence who just finished his 50th. B/c he's the one we're celebrating, he's required to bring a cake to celebrate :-)

He's a good baker, that Spence.

thumbs up and a weak smile right before the finish
