Sept. 2-5: Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was pretty eventful. I saw the new Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, watched my brother's football game, and took a trip to the zoo. Oh yeah, and I read a bunch of cases for this week.

Otterbein Football Game Versus Gallaudet University
Gallaudet is a school for deaf and hearing impaired students so it was definitely different from your average football game. It was even more disconcerting than being surrounded by people that speak a different language at first. I tried to buy a hot dog from one of the fraternities selling refreshments at the stadium. There was a lot of pointing and luckily one of guys must have had a hearing or something because he understood what I was saying. Overall, it was kind of eye-opening to see such a different subset of the population.

The game was super exciting, with a final score of 28-27. At the end of the game the score was tied at 21-21. Otterbein ended up winning the game in over time when Gallaudet went for the two-point conversion instead of the extra point and missed it. But it was a very well-played game.

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
While difficult to find, it was worth the trek. Once you find it, it's in a pretty cool location. You can see the Washington and Jefferson Memorials.

Zoo
The best thing about the zoo is it's free. While it's not quite as big as say the Columbus Zoo it still has a decent number of exhibits. Luckily, the day we were there a lot of the animals were pretty playful.
