On Friday afternoon, I had the opportunity to take a tour of the new Academic Research Center which will be the new home to most of the classrooms for the Russ College of Engineering and Technology. The building isn’t completely finished but it is coming along beautifully and will be open this coming winter quarter.
Homecoming was this past weekend as well and it was very nice to see all of the returning alumni. There were many people that have graduated in the time I’ve been attending Ohio University that I have not seen since their graduation. There was the annual Homecoming parade on Saturday morning that I attended, and then we all headed to uptown Athens to get some food, drinks and catch up with the visiting alums.

My favorite hobby and activity, by far, is mountain biking—-lucky for me that the south-eastern Ohio River valley is home to some of the best mountain biking in the region. I just got back from a days’ ride with my friend at Mount Wood (a park about 12 miles outside of Parkersburg, WV and an hour drive from Athens). This was my first trip to Mount Wood and it is a shame it has taken me this long to go because there are some fantastic trails there and it is reasonably close for a weekend trip.
I regularly ride here in Athens at Sells Park and Strouds Run State Park. Both Sells and Strouds are within riding distance from my apartment and have great trails which are maintained by the local bike shops and clubs. When I have a little extra time, I take the half hour drive out to Lake Hope State Park which has 17+ miles of trails to ride. In my opinion, Ohio University is a mountain biker’s (or any outdoor lover’s) dream.

One event that I look forward to every year I have been at OU is ASCE's (American Society of Civil Engineers) annual golf outing. This year I was part of the committee who organized the outing, which was held this past weekend. It turned out to be a big success.
The outing was a big commitment and took a significant portion of my time over the past couple of weeks, but the satisfaction of knowing you were part of something successful made it worth it. My team ended up finishing close to dead last but the outing was still a lot of fun.
I would highly suggest for prospective students to become involved with their respective student organizations within the college of engineering. Every organization has events such as this one where you can network with alumni in a social setting.

Yesterday I had to wake up early to get ready for the challenge course I was supposed to complete with the rest of the Engineering Ambassadors. But, due to the inclement weather the people who worked there decided that us being up 50 feet in the air while it was lightning out was not a good idea. So, instead we participated in some indoor team building activities that were quite a challenge.
After that we all met up at Bob Evans to get some breakfast and our advisor was nice enough to pick up the check. While there we thought it would be a great idea to meet up at Courtside Pizza to watch Ohio State put a beating on Illinois. It turned out to be a very fun time and I feel
like it was a great bonding experience.
