I ran up to Wal-Mart to buy laundry detergent. They sell Woolite in a bag. It's essentially a giant Capri Sun looking thing, but it's filled with Woolite instead of whatever Capri Sun is. On the way, I stopped at Panera because I wanted their black bean soup, but they didn't have black bean soup. Their vegetarian option was garden vegetable with pesto. I risked it and lost out. The soup just didn't know what it wanted to be. A few noodles, a little barley, just random vegetables. There was one julienned thing in there that I couldn't figure out what it was - like a turnip maybe? Anyway - avoid that soup.
When I got back, Jerry came over to my room, and Michael stopped by shortly after. We talked about orientations, mostly, and different ideas as to how to make them more effective. They both work in NC and talked about some listening tour their president went on. I talked about the partnership between HOPE, UB, and the lab. The dorm itself is pretty miserable (ac doesn't work well, carpet needs ironing, etc), but the dorm experience has been a pleasant surprise.
The Trivial Pursuit tournament starts in a half hour or so. I wasn't going to go initially, but Ed has a pretty infectious enthusiasm. The whole day has been like that. Seeing Hunter and Ed talk about the field is inspiring. I don't know how I cam across when I talked about Hunter having this certainty about him, but I meant to say it in a very positive light. It's this really cool altruistic, egalitarian view of higher education. Onward.
