Homecoming weekend has come and gone and midterm season is
officially underway!
I'm loaded up the next couple weeks so I will try to get
creative with my posts, as I won't be doing much more than
studying. The past week I was able to fit in some fun activities
like Whirlyball, Corn Hole, Golf, and studying lol.
Homecoming is a yearly event at NUHS where the alumni head back
to the school for a weekend of pig roasting, continuing education
lectures, and catching up with old friends. I attended the pig
roast with a couple of friends after the Frat's Triannual
Whirlyball Extravaganza. That is not the real name, but it sounded
funny and I love Whirlyball so I added it. At the roast I stuffed
myself and played quite a few games of corn hole that brought me
back to the good ol' college days.
Without passing judgment, I do have some suggestions for next
year's alumni homecoming. If they have another pig roast, I think
they should advertise it further in advance and more often leading
up to the event. I didn't even know about the roast until that
afternoon and there were only one or two tables of students with
the rest being alumni, faculty and staff. I just thought it would
have been more fun to have a better mix.
Also, I might get in trouble for saying this but I didn't get to
attend the homecoming lectures because it cost money? Hold on. I
understand that information is valuable and they put their time
into preparing a great lecture, but how much money do we pay to go
to this school? And our homecoming costs money to attend? I was
shocked enough to include it in the blog lol. [Editor's Note: FYI -
students were charged a minimal fee to attend Homecoming. In the
past, when it was free, they often registered to attend and then
didn't show up. Thus, seating was taken away from alumni who attend
the event to earn continuing education credits.]
On a nerdy side-note (and albeit shameless school plug):
Visceral Anatomy is really neat. I enjoy it much better than the
previous trimester's Head and Neck Anatomy course because the
structures are much more interesting. How cool is it that you get
to dissect out a heart and hold it in your hands? How many other
chiropractic schools give you that opportunity? From what I've
heard, we are the only ones that get to dissect! Go
National!
Have a great week!
