Hey, guys.
It's about 8:05 AM.
But I'm up for good reason.
Michigan Tech challenged me to complete 12 Husky bucket list
items in 12 hours.
We've already done a few.
We've joined a student org, number 28.
We've met the dean of students, number 54.
Ah, but today, we're going to start
with climbing all 11 floors of the mechanical engineering
building.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
That's the way to start off the day.
But that means we've just completed
bucket list item 59 at 8:12 AM.
Eleven floors-- conquered.
Now we're going to go across the way to here.
And this is the Memorial Union building.
And I'm told that there's stairs that go to nowhere.
Let's check them out.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
The stairs that don't go anywhere--
that's stop number two, item number 24.
Check!
The husky statue-- "check out the husky statue"
is number 80 on the Michigan Tech bucket list.
That's three down, nine to go.
I'm feeling a little tired.
So I think the next one we're going to stop at
is a local coffee shop in Houghton.
We're going to bike about 10 minutes that way.
Let's go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
That's number four down.
Number four done.
It's 8:50.
So we've got 11 hours left.
This is going to be easy.
So we just came from down the hill
there, straight up here to what is now
the Continental Firehouse.
Now, the thing about the Continental Firehouse
is that it used to be the Houghton Firehouse.
And that is where the first ever Michigan Tech class
was held, on the second floor.
This makes it one of the stops on our bucket list--
number something?
Stop number five at 9:15 AM.
I wanted to take a second and talk about why I picked
today of all days to do this.
And part of it is because today is
the Parade of Nations, number 26 on the Michigan Tech bucket
list.
They walk across the bridge, which
is number two of the Michigan Tech bucket list.
And it spearheads at the Dee Stadium,
which is experiencing a multicultural event, number
22 on the bucket list.
The Parade of Nations is where all the international Michigan
Tech students have a celebration of culture.
And they have a large parade that starts in Hancock
and goes across the bridge into Hope,
and then finishes at the Dee Stadium,
where they have a large event with live music
and multicultural food.
And that's what we're here to experience today.

[CHEERING]
A little bit of [INAUDIBLE] with some vegetables.
And you know, Parade of Nations, man--
I love it.
It's a little bit of--
ah.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I just sat down and re-watched my footage
and looked through my book here, that I
was carrying around all day.
I only did 11.
I started at 8 AM.
So I still have two hours.
You know what?
It's fine.
I know what we're going to do.
Let me phone a friend here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
OK, it is 7:01.
And for the 12th and final thing in the 12th hour,
we completed number eight of the Husky bucket list--
check out Mont Ripley.
That is my day of 12 Husky bucket list items in 12 hours--
with the Parade of Nations, with Mont Ripley,
and a lot of stairs.
Thank you, guys.
We'll see you next time.
