HHOF Trip

Well, I've got to admit, that this trip wasn't the most exciting thing for me. I mean, I've been to the Hall at least seven times (five of those times occurring this summer), so it wasn't as if there was anything new for me to see. Still, it was kind of nice to go up to the Great Hall to take a "team photo" with everyone in the class and the Stanley Cup.

It was cool to hear about the history of the Hall as well, although I'd known at least a little bit about it from some random readings beforehand.

Watching The Stanley Cup Odyssey was also a good thing because it provided a pretty good refresher on some of the things we'd talked about in some of the early classes. Also, the film seemed to get better with repeated viewing--i.e. I appreciated it more this time than I did at the premiere. The music was still far too dramatic in some scenes, though. =P

Anyway, it's definitely a sign of how much I love this course that I was willing to make the commute (a little under 2 hours, round trip) downtown for less than two hours of class--and almost an hour of which I'd already seen (The Stanley Cup Odyssey) before.

I guess it would've been nice for me to hang around and to get to know my classmates a little better, but I was pretty tired and as much as I love the Hall, I preferred to get home earlier.
