Summer class in BIR is fun. Like I posted previously, we had a lot of fun with the classes, the field trip and the movies. Through this class, I know more about not only about Chicago but also a little more about Tokyo, Madrid and Rio.
The movies are also very interesting. So far we have seen 3 movies. The first is Secrets of the Dead, Doping for Gold, a PBS documentary about East Germany's doping program to win the golds in Olympics in the 1970s. The East German give the doping without the athletes' permission. Even the athletes did not know that they consumed a high dosage of doping. The side effect is pretty scary, in the movie, we can see one of the athletes changed in her appearance from a woman to a man. The second movie is The Wrestler, a Mickey Rourke's movie. Although, this movie actually has nothing to do with the Olympics, I found that this one is the most entertaining. The last one is about the history of the first Olympics. The title is The First Olympics: Athens 1896 I never know that the athletes of the first Olympics from the US came from the ivy league universities. I thought those universities only contain nerds (no offense :D). But my thought was definitely wrong.
Overall the summer class is really interesting. I like it especially because it is relaxing, entertaining yet informative (especially the movies and the blogging things).
