Flowing forward into February with first exams and food
Go ahead and take a look at your calendar right now. Go on, I'll wait. Oh good you realized that not only is it February but that it's Valentine's Day Eve. So we've just started our 4th week of the Spring semester here and it all just sort of happened in the bink of an eye. My first mid-term exam will rear its ugly head this Wednesday, signaling the season of cyclical test prep and test taking. With this in mind, we're often treated to themed meals in the Marketplace--the main dining hall on campus. Recently, in honor of Black History Month the Marketplace served an eclectic variety of dishes for lunch one day. I chose a Jamaican beef patty accompanied by beans and rice as well as peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and fresh berries. My lunch is pictured below---restrain yourself from licking your screen.
