I never thought dinner in the science building would ever be that good.
As part of our wine and olives course, our whole class, our professors, and their families eat an Italian dinner together every Wednesday night at 5:30, cooked by a group of students in the class (I am part of the group that cooks next Wednesday.) Tonight we had a delicious salad, bread with olive oil, chicken, bowtie pasta, veggies, and a desert that started with the letter s... for super yummy. One point for Dr. Hestermann for a really really good idea.
The whole day preceding dinner is a blur. Already losing steam because of lack of sleep (stupid Lorenzo de' Medici), class was slightly complicated with a lack of a definite classroom for us. Apparently because we are only here for a couple more weeks, there hasn't been assigned a single room for us to meet. Fortunately we have very easy going professors, who smile and say, "Well, that's the Italian way!" So the refugees we will be.
What I learned today:
Dr. Bibb says the word "squishy" often, and to describe things I wouldn't normally think as being squishy. "Many of Joseph's brothers were illegitimate...it was a squeeeeeshy situation."
Dr. Leavell loves to talk about the fact that he doesn't have any hair on his head.
The Brick Testament is quite a scholarly source when exploring the intricate stories of the Bible. http://www.thebricktestament.com/
There are some wonderful people on this trip that I can't wait to get to know better!
Alright. I wish I could recount the day in better detail, but sulfur compounds, the topic of my biology presentation, is calling my name.
