Humanities Fall Quarter

Sorry about the lateness of my post but I had some technical difficulties with the blog. Anyways during my first quarter as an OSU Humanities Scholar I attended the retreat, the Chicago Trip and the Potluck dinner. The retreat started out rather poorly as it required me to wake up early and ride on a bus, however, it was an interesting bonding experience. I believe, however, that most of the bonding occurred over the mutual commiseration about the early morning and the temperature, rather than the activities themselves. That being said I did enjoy participating in the trust fall. The Chicago Trip was an excellent experience, even though I had been there previously I had not spent as much time walking around the city itself. I enjoyed the free time and the ability just to walk around the city and immerse myself in the city's vibrant atmosphere greatly. The potluck dinner was a nice social gathering where I got to meet and converse with others in the scholars program. I was curious to see what food would be brought to a potluck dinner by a bunch of college students, most of whom lived in dorms. I have to say that I was rather impressed by the quantity and the quality of the food that was brought to the dinner. All in all I greatly enjoyed my first quarter at OSU and my participation in the Humanities Scholars.
