Halloween at Ohio State is definitely an interesting time, particularly on South Campus. Yesterday I saw more creative costumes than I ever could’ve imagined, albeit most were rather inappropriate, but that’s Halloween on a college campus for you. (There were quite a few parents visiting Bradley Hall last night…you should’ve seen the looks on their faces when they saw some of the costumes! I’m guessing the idea behind Halloween has changed a bit since they were in college…)
I had a great time last night getting to know more residents just by helping people with costumes and discussing Halloween plans. Plus we’ve had a lot of spooky stuff going on in Bradley…we had a horror movie night, and on Halloween the head of the OSU Slavic department is coming in to talk about the origin of vampires. I love faculty programs; you never know how fascinating the guy that rambles in front of the 500-person class with his PowerPoint every morning can really be! I’m hoping to throw together a costume tomorrow maybe…we’ll see what the rest of the week brings.
