Day 29 - Tell us about the most interesting person you have encountered at school or around campus.
I don't think there is a single person that can take this spot. I have met a lot of interesting people, a couple of them I have already mentioned in posts during this challenge (Latin instructor and the people who suggested to change my major). Then there are people I've encountered from joining up with the fencing club and the tall guy I had a wee bit of a crush on.
As for instructors there are a couple (technically 3) of them I can add to this list. There is one of my linguistics instructors who taught me historical linguistics and Old Church Slavonic. He recently just retired from teaching but he's a great guy to listen to and speak with. The second is my Russian instructor I had for 3 years. In a way I can describe him as Major Major from Catch 22 (not there when you need him, there when you don't) but he's a bit of an important guy with Canada-Russia relations which explains him being away most of the time. He has an unconventional way of grading people but again is an interesting guy to listen to when he recalls his stories of Russia and past students. The third is an instructor I had for a film course. The course he taught was a course on Russian Film after 1992 (and also keeps a blog on Russian film too though most of it caters to his students). Again a great person to talk with.
Day 30 - What are your favorite and least favorite things about college?
Time goes by so fast. That fills in both positions for favourite and least favourite things. Unlike high school which for me the semester still continued after winter break before the second semester, a semester at my university lasts about 14-16 weeks. It seems like plenty of time but once that date of that final paper approaches it's hard to believe that you made it this far (unless you decide to drop out and change paths).
And from now on no more blog challenges since I don't come here often.
