Columbus To Do List: Part One

I live in Columbus so I’ve done most of the stuff on the lists. One of the lists that I noticed I haven’t done a lot of is the Ice Cream and Desserts list. There are the general Ohio places such as Graeter’s and Whit’s, and then there are other places that I’ve never heard of such as Rocket Fizz. Which happens to be one of the places that I am most excited for. When ever I watch Ohio State football games I like to have a different type of bottled root beer. This has been one of the few traditions I have during OSU games and I hope that Rocket Fizz has some new types that I can use. I hope to learn more about Columbus and the food available while living on campus. So far I have gone to Graeter’s and Whit’s. I went to Graeter’s after a Blue Jackets game with my dad, the best part was me and him joking about how one of my homework assignments is to get ice cream. I went to Whit’s with my family over fall break, there is a Whit’s near my house and It has been a while since I’ve gone. The best part was remembering going there after my baseball games, and they have this topping called Crunch Coat that my family loves because of an ice cream shop where my mom grew up. I am currently enjoying this list, it gives me an opportunity to get time away from the stress of my classes.

Columbus To Do List: Graeter’s

 

I went to a Columbus Blue Jacket game on Saturday and decided to go to Graeter’s. The best thing is obviously the ice cream. I’ve had Graeter’s before and I guarantee I will have it again. Graeter’s has most of my favorite ice creams and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I would recommend going here if you have the chance.

Journal Two

On Thursday, September 26, 2019, I met with my scholars mentor Cassidy at West 18th avenue library. Me, being the blind person that I am, didn’t see her sitting at a table for about five minutes. This wasn’t the first time that I ever met Cassidy, but it was the first non-scholars event-related time. We began by discussing how a majority of our scholars family is in Aerospace engineering, one of them being me. Having not interacted with my mentor before I asked about her major civil engineering. I shadowed a civil engineer for a day last year, but we mainly talked about sports. This conversation sadly didn’t drift in that direction, I had it on the back burner in case I needed it, but we didn’t need it and didn’t have enough time. We mainly talked about civil engineering and the Fundamentals of Engineering class that I am currently taking, which she took last year before she had to go to a class. We talked for around 30 minutes. She offered to help me on my lab memo for FE if I got a bad grade on mine so I could see how to write one better, and as a result to hopefully get a better grade on the rewrite that we have the option to do. It was a nice experience and I now believe reaching out to my mentor might be more helpful than I previously thought.
