One (very late, very long) post for four events

I have four events that I need to blog about, going as far back as late Setember. I am writing about them now, because I am a horrible person who can't submit things on time. So, instead of filling up this blog with like four post's worth of events that are mostly from September/October (sorry...!), I'm just going to mention them all here...

1) The first event I actually attended at Ohio State was Comedy Central's The Daily Show Live: Indecision Tour 2012 on September 22nd. Emily and I arrived at the union almost two hours early to wait in line and get good seats, and luckily we weren't disappointed by the seats or by the show. Though Jon Stewart did not come to OSU three people who worked on his show, Al Madrigal, Adam Lowitt, and John Hodgman, did.
Their standup routines were all hilarious; highlights for me were Lowitt describing what has to be the most awkward handshake in existence ("Somehow my thumb got separated from the rest of my hand, so she just went to shake my thumb... we were both so disgusted with me..."), Hodgman talking about how bad he is at sport ("It's called bases ball. Because there's more than one base."), and basically Madrigal's entire routine ("Te gusta chachis negro?" "Daddy doesn't have a 'gina! Daddy's a man!" "He imported clip art!") . By the end of the show, my cheeks hurt because I had been smiling and laughing so much.
After the show, there was a Q&A session. Some questions were very awkward and there were some problems with heckling, but Al Madrigal handled it like a boss. Emily and I even got a picture with him. Yeah. You should be jealous.

2) On October 2nd, I went to the research expo at the Union. The research expo was pretty similar to that of the study abroad expo, except instead of having a lot of booths set up for different types of travel programs, the booths were made up of the different research groups here on campus. I was especially interested in the mouse behavior research, but the entire time I was at the expo, nobody was at that booth to explain the research to me. I talked to a couple of different people, and one of them even told me to apply to volunteer with her come January. The main things that I took away from the expo were that there are many different types of scientific research there are on campus, but in order to get involved (if I decide to do so), I will have to reach out.

3) On November 15th, I went to the resume workshop, which was extremely helpful. I don't really have a lot to say about it, but thanks to the presenter's advice, I was able to cut my resume down significantly so that only the most important information was on it. My resume looks better overall, now, and it has a lot more relevant information.

4) The last event in this monstrous side post is the humanities film festival! I had a lot of fun watching the final product of my group's movie (Shoutout to Starlight Studios!), and watching everyone else's videos as well. We all did really good jobs!
