Last night was "Casino Night" (or something along that line, can't remember the name exactly) at our DC--and they did a rather good job of it. Then again, getting very shiny and very sparkly decorations shouldn't be TOO difficult right now...but even so, they did some very interesting things such as having a cotton-candy machine and popcorn machine (actually making those food, yes) in the middle of the room. I had some sort of pasta that I don't know the name off, that vaguely resembles seafood salad dumped over extra-thick spaghetti that's hollow. Either that or overly long maccaroni (these pasta names are horrible). There're lots of random things that I've never seen before, and from what I saw of it, it was rather popular. I think the people count (and I went early at around 6pm) was around 964...or something like. Veronica was speaking in Spanish so it may have been something else. Also they had on what I suppose must be typical casino music. One of which was French and the only word I caught was "love" and "beauty" which, figures, you know, French song. Forgive my prejudice, influence of teacher.
This morning I also went to pick up my last pot of plants before they get disposed, which was cyclamen. The professor instructed me to place them in a shaded area, preferably the north side of the building. I established where the east was and went to deduce my directions from there, but the professor apparently decided that I was taking too long and had me face east and stick out my arms and told me my left arm pointed at the north, and that's how I should do it from now on. Or, in his actual words, he told me to "face east and have wings, your left is the north."
So yes, Lucy, I thought of you. If you ever get lost and only know which direction east was, "face east and have wings."
Hem.
Bio midterm this afternoon, mostly genetics stuff so let's hope I do well because this time I actually have something to prove.
