The McCormic freedom center...let me tell you.

History and kristina don't mix very well; so when I go into History museums, they really bore me. I was a bit tierd from walking with AneMarie about a good 100 blocks, but the beauty of the city was well observed by me. At first we ended up at the wrong building, Ane, Remo and I, so we almost didnt really make it. The security guard at the Radio Station building looked at us like we were crazy. Anyway when I actually stepped foot in the MCF I noticed the metal sheets strug up by wire up to the ceiling. I thought to myself that this was going to be interesting. One of the first things we did was go see a movie. While sitting in a movie, I had two older ladies sit by me who were mumbling things to one another. The movie wasn't that boring but I did lose focus and think about what the museum will teach me today. I really didn't know that there were different things in the museum, I thought it was all about the same thing. I actually read the questions on the boards and they would ask a question like "If there was this leader in...would there be a...?" and then you would be asked yes or no. Then I would flip the board and then see if the correct answer. I got them all right, believe it or not. Its cool to see how much has changed over the years. On rights and getting peoples' opinions on different matters. I really enjoyed what I looked at. When you push the buttons and listen to what people had to say, it made me wish that I had a voice on issues to. One thing that really struck me was the post-it wall that it said. "Ever since 9/11 happened, we now have the moment of silence during the pledge. How do you feel about it?" Then people put up a post-it that stated what they had to say. I remember one saying "PEACE IS THE WORLD..." It was very interesting. Well I had a good time! Kristina Kastl out... :-p
