First Honors Blog.

Well, I have never blogged before. Didn't really know what it was either. So props to Dr. Brewton to enlightening me to this! This is my blog about my time here in the Honors Program. My name is Gavin Hall and I am a freshman here at UNA. I am from the little town of Marianna, Florida. Majoring in Nursing. I am loving it here, even if I am seven hours away from home. The Honors Program creates a tight knit community of people, especially the ones that live on campus in Lafayette. Well, we had our first Honors trip to Memphis last weekend. It went WAY better than I expected it too. I met a lot of new people that I haven't came across yet because they do not live in Lafayette. It was a great way to start building relationships and meet people that didn't necessarily have the same views, or were raised different than I. The Brooks Museum of Art also intrigued me. I have never been exposed to art very much, so my time there really showed me how diverse art is and how it varies from country to country. I was very happy that I could relate to a few of the paintings. I LOVED the zoo. Haven't been to a zoo since I was a baby, so I didn't remember a whole lot, but now I can! Well, that's all folks. Hopefully I will get better at this as the weeks go on and I listen to new and exciting people.
