One of the first weekends here at school we went on a trip to a retreat ground. We broke off into separate groups and participated in a variety of team-building activities. The activities were pretty fun, and one or two of them were some-what challenging. The retreat really helped me meet a bunch of new people from our scholars group and definitely helped me get more comfortable with the group. It was a good time.
At the beginning of October I went down to the front area of Haverfield to eat some food with the rest of the building. I talked with some friends and enjoyed the great cookout food, all while enjoying the nice day. Hanging out with others from Haverfield helped me meet some new friends and it was a great opportunity to take a break from school.
During the first week of November, a couple of friends and I took a trip down to the Columbus International Festival at the Veteran's Memorial. We went because it counted for credit in English class as well, but it was definitely worth it. It was really cool to see so much culture and diversity in one place. Luckily we went there hungry as there was all different types of food there. The trip down to the festival was a Sunday well spent for sure.
A couple of Wednesdays ago I tagged along with some friends to attend the Humanities Film Festival to watch all of our video projects. It was awesome to see all of our projects up on the screen and see the work and creativity we all put into them. You could tell everyone worked hard and did a great job filming and incorporating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A few nights ago I took a much-needed break form my finals study sessions to grab a cup of hot cocoa in the Hav lobby at Cookies & Cocoa. Everyone was just hanging out and talking while I was there and it was a great break from the stress and strain of studying for finals. Its always great to see all the Humanities Scholars kids. Thank you so much Ben and Jenna, the cookies and cocoa was a great idea!

There were two events that I really enjoyed so far myself.
ReplyDeleteThe first, the meet we had in the beginning of the year to get to know each other and incorporate teamwork and active participiation into our lives. I thought it was great to go out as one group, get to know people, and have fun breaking our minds over puzzles as a unit. More of this!
The second was the film event. It was a really well done presentation which left some great impressions and memories. Ben, awesome video! Still got that one in the back of my head, will for a while anyways)). Our personal project could have used some more touch up, but it was hard to tell before having something to compare to. I am sure we would all do great on a second run if we tried again.
So far, that has been it for me. Will try to get more next semester.
