West Side Story

I didn't really enjoy West Side Story. I went because I had heard great things about it but in general I am just not a musical person so I should have known. However, the theater was beautiful and it was a nice experience. I did like how there was a lot of Spanish in it though. I would not see it again.

Water for Elephants

The movie was awesome. I had seen it before but it was a good one to watch again. The story is really unique and that is one of the reasons I like it. The love story is also really well developed and I love a good love story! It was really nice of Ben to provide food as well. Overall, I'm glad I saw the movie!

Picnic with Ben!

The picnic was awesome! Ben gave us a ton of great food-for free- and it was awesome! He even brought one of those classy plaid blankets and had a wicker basket for the food. At the picnic we got to talk to with Ben and just have a good time. It was also perfect weather! I am so glad I went!

Water For Elephants

This quarter I attended the viewing of Water For Elephants.  I read the book last summer and never had the opportunity to see the film.  A little rusty on the details, the story quickly came back to me.  Filled with an elephant that loves whiskey and witty comments, the movie proved to be a pretty accurate portrayal of the book.  The story can be lighthearted at some points, but is ultimately outlined by very serious matters including domestic abuse, family deaths, and an old man who has "escaped" to the circus.  I really enjoyed attending the event to see this story in a new light.

Humanities End of the Year event

Last wednesday was the end of the year humanities event. The event was well planned out to recognize the graduating scholars and to reflect back on a memorable year. The slideshow from the past humanities events was very enjoyable and sparked interesting conversation. overall the event was a great way to reflect upon the past year in the humanities scholars group.

Bill Nye

Last week OUAB had Bill Nye the science guy speak at Ohio State.  I'm a big fan of Bill Nye and always was.  He talked a lot about science and space, but he also talked about his personal projects.  One big project was energy conservation, and he had several interesting ideas about this subject.  Also, he was involved in putting small sun dial on mars, which he seemed very passionate about.  I loved when he talked about his show and the making of the opening credits...he was so funny!  Hopefully OUAB can bring more funny speakers like Bill Nye in for next year.

Room Showing

This quarter, Hav 311 was pretty busy showing our room to future Humanities Scholars. We cleaned a lot. It was actually pretty nice to see our room so clean. Not that it's usually messy, but we don't put too much effort into keeping it spotless what with classes and things like that. It was really nice to interact with the upcoming students and answer any questions they had. Hopefully, they'll enjoy their time in Hav 3 as much as my roommates and I did.
