00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:17,814
My name is Emily Reth, and we are here on Wright State’s campus in the Dunbar Library on the fourth floor. We’re interviewing Wright State students to see what a typical day in their life is like. Please, what was your name?

2
00:00:18,003 --> 00:00:19,534
Mackenzie Snare.

3
00:00:19,663 --> 00:00:21,614
Mackenzie, what program are you in here at Wright State?

4
00:00:21,814 --> 00:00:24,114
I’m in the Public History master’s program.

5
00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:26,828
Fantastic. So, what brought you to Wright State?

6
00:00:27,016 --> 00:00:30,578
The fact that it was an hour-ish away from home.

7
00:00:31,587 --> 00:00:34,398
Oh, an hour? So, do you commute, or do you live here on campus?

8
00:00:34,398 --> 00:00:35,748
No, I live here on campus.

9
00:00:35,856 --> 00:00:38,823
Oh, gotcha. So, what area are you from then?

10
00:00:43,382 --> 00:00:51,066
Okay. So, have you…you’ve obviously had a few classes so far. What classes are you taking this semester?

11
00:00:51,265 --> 00:01:08,345
I’m taking the Archives Intro class, the Museums Collections class, Intro to Public History class, and then my Monday class…I don’t really know what it’s called, because we don’t always have to go.

12
00:01:08,545 --> 00:01:09,755
Is it Historical Methods?

13
00:01:10,194 --> 00:01:11,445
Sure, yes.

14
00:01:11,463 --> 00:01:15,286
[laughs] So, do you have a favorite course so far?

15
00:01:15,486 --> 00:01:18,616
I think it’s the Wednesday Archive class, so far.

16
00:01:18,816 --> 00:01:19,496
Why’s that?

17
00:01:19,694 --> 00:01:27,326
Um, archives sound interesting. And Museums Collections seems a bit repetitive so far, but maybe that’s a good thing.

18
00:01:27,525 --> 00:01:32,136
[laughs] So, are you thinking that you want to go into archives after you graduate?

19
00:01:32,335 --> 00:01:35,963
So far, yes, but I’ve still got another year or two.

20
00:01:37,052 --> 00:01:42,333
That’s true, it’s always good to keep an open mind. So, what was your first day like at Wright State?

21
00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:59,404
Uh, my first day, I was putting a lot of stuff away in my apartment because I had boxes of things that needed put away. And then I walked to campus and got lost on the way to class, but I eventually found my way.

22
00:02:00,483 --> 00:02:02,783
Gotcha. So, was it stressful when you first got to class?

23
00:02:03,352 --> 00:02:17,974
Um, I wouldn’t say “stressful,” just “annoying,” because I hadn’t been on campus, and I didn’t know where things were. I was looking at the maps, and I didn’t get the maps, because it didn’t have a “you are here” on my phone. So…

24
00:02:18,173 --> 00:02:23,375
[laughs] Understandable. It can be a bit confusing when you’re first here. So, do you have a favorite professor so far?

25
00:02:23,574 --> 00:02:27,745
Ummm… I mean, Dr. Swanson’s nice, so far.

26
00:02:27,943 --> 00:02:40,276
[both laughing] So far, he is. Don’t worry, he doesn’t have, like, a dark side, that all of a sudden you’ll just see out of nowhere. So, what is your least favorite thing about Wright State so far?

27
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:55,545
Maybe the fact that I can hear planes taking off constantly. But, I mean, if it was, like, a little further away from the airport, the air base, it’d be better, but I’m kind of getting used to it.

28
00:02:55,745 --> 00:02:57,255
It is really hard to get used to.

29
00:02:57,274 --> 00:02:57,585
Yeah.

30
00:02:57,703 --> 00:02:59,686
That was one of the things I struggled with.

31
00:02:59,724 --> 00:03:02,026
Normal planes are fine, but jets are interesting.

32
00:03:02,224 --> 00:03:04,526
Yeah, and they do a lot of practice take-offs.

33
00:03:04,724 --> 00:03:04,956
Yes.

34
00:03:05,155 --> 00:03:12,336
Yeah, I definitely understand that. So, what did you do this morning? What was your morning like before you got on campus?

35
00:03:12,536 --> 00:03:24,757
Um, I watched The Price is Right and ate some breakfast, and then just did some class work for today, read some for my Thursday class.

36
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:29,367
Gotcha, so is The Price is Right, is that a typical morning show for you?

37
00:03:29,566 --> 00:03:34,503
[laughing] Yeah, I would watch Let’s Make A Deal, but it comes on at 3:00 here, instead of 10:00 at home.

38
00:03:34,692 --> 00:03:39,883
Gotcha, gotcha. Um, and last question for you: what did you eat for breakfast this morning?

39
00:03:40,081 --> 00:03:41,963
I had Oreo cereal.

40
00:03:42,052 --> 00:03:43,933
Oooh, exciting.

41
00:03:44,132 --> 00:03:49,774
I kind of have, like, a lot of boxes of it, so I gotta eat it. Darn.

42
00:03:49,973 --> 00:03:54,704
[laughs] Well, thank you so much for coming and talking with us today.

43
00:03:54,903 --> 00:03:55,835
You’re welcome.

44
00:00:38,894 --> 00:00:43,084
I’m from east…like 20 minutes east of Columbus.
