Notes from Cheryl (10/19/2005)

Well, this past weekend Ohio State played Michigan State...and I went to the game! The Director of Admissions, Beth Keehn, had two extra tickets so she graciously offered them to me. I decided to bring my foreign exchange friend, Silke, to the game because it would be an amazing experience for her. (She's from Switzerland, so she doesn't understand the whole football passion that we have here in Ohio. Haha)
Saturday morning I picked up Silke and drove to the OSU Lima campus to meet up with everyone that I was going to the game with. They included Beth (the Director of Admissions), Temple (an admission counselor), John Synder (Dean of OSU Lima), and some area high school admission counselors. We arrived on campus at 8:30AM and received a personal tour of Enarson Hall, which is the home of the Student Vistor Center. After Enarson Hall, we went to the President's Club brunch at the Ohio Union. The Ohio State cheerleaders did some cheers for us, Gene Smith (the athletic director) was the guest speaker, and the OSU Women's Glee Club sang Ohio State songs to us. Oh ya! And the food was EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! After filling up our tummies, we headed to the game. And of course....by the end of the game, my thoat was feelin' a bit scratchy from all my hard cheerin', especially during the 4th quarter when we came back and won! After the game, Silke and I met up with my friend Louie and we went out to eat and enjoyed life on the main campus.
