5 Questions with Adam Gourlay, FSU VP Athletics and Residence Life
1. What's one thing we should know about you and one thing we shouldn't?
I guess one thing everyone knows about me is my dislike for the Toronto Maple Leafs. I guess after the season they had last year, I suppose the one thing you shouldn't know is that I'm a Sens fan.
2. What has been your best memory at Fanshawe so far?
First and foremost, my favourite memory is just meeting all of these incredible people. The teachers I've had in Architecture and Business have been grade-A, and the friends I've made along the way are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! I love being a part of the crew of amazing people at FSU and Fanshawe Athletics. I feel very welcomed at Fanshawe and cherish the people I've met.
3. Put your MP3 player on shuffle — what three songs come up?
1. "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull
2. "The Wizard" by Uriah Heep
3. "Beck's Bolero" by The Jeff Beck Group
4. What movie most resembles your life?
I'd have to say Rudy. It's a classic sports movie starring Sean Astin (aka Samwise Gamgee of the Shire). Besides being a giraffe, I see parts of myself in that little scrappy guy. As corny as it sounds, I know that if I get knocked down, I'll always get back up. If someone tells me no, it kind of makes me want to do it more.
5. What's one TV show you would recommend to everyone?
I would recommend the oldie but goldie Cheers - it's a classic. The whole atmosphere of the show is amazing. The writing is fantastic and the actors will always make you laugh. I remember visiting the two Cheers locations in Boston and seeing how proud the city is to be associated with such a funny show. Definitely check it out if you want to be reminded of a "simpler" time.
