Day three and four

Sorry about yesterday, I managed to pick up the plague here (ok, maybe it's just a cold).  Class yesterday was nothing to brag about...it even put our professor to sleep. One of the people speaking managed to say "um" 378 times plus he was monotoned and quiet.  So I managed to make pretty notes...

I'm not sure what anyone was talking about, but some of the words sounded important, so they were written down.


Today I did the same thing, but I wasn't as bored, although Mr. Um was there.  Today it was 408, that has to be a record or something. But the good news of today was that we got to eat some yummy desserts! We had a cheesecake with a pop rock crust (yummy!) that was wrapped up like a little cheese wheel and then a little carrot cake in a pot (it looked like planting soil). Brían (pronounced Bre-an) was the creator and I should say a FABULOUS chef and entrepreneur!  

We then met a group that made Rooties, which were a freeze dried veg with flavor crisp (chip). We didn't get to try them but it was interesting to see their product.  The only bad thing was, Mariah and I had discovered from spring semester that freeze drying is expensive and their product would not make a lot of money. But I hope I'm wrong and they kick some butt!  But here are my notes from today:



Random thinking:

1.  Toilets.  They aren't restrooms or bathrooms. Just toilet, which is very direct.  But they are so little and the flusher things are peculiar.

2.  Showers. The shower here gets water everywhere.  There isn't a shower curtain just a glass panel. 

3. Everything here is so green!  And today was the warmest it's been in a while. It's just absolutely great!

4.  We have had so many coffee breaks during the day! America needs to start doing this!

5.  Beer is a stable food group.

6.  I still don't understand the appeal of soccer games, especially when it's 90 minutes and ties 1-1.
