Today was a very relaxed day. Our usual Wednesday morning art history class had been rescheduled, since Lisa was with the honors group in Southern Italy; so, we decided to spice things up with an impromptu group brunch. Jenna was the master chef of the affair. She was assisted by her sous-chef, Stacie, who flipped a mean pancake. The meal—and it was a meal—consisted of two courses. For the first course, pancakes topped with Nutella whetted our appetites for the complex and delicious second course. The second course, appropriately named “Eggs in Purgatory” was a unique and delicious brunch experience, consisting of marinara sauce, a fried-mashed-potato concoction, a fried egg, and plenty of parmesan to top it off. As if all of that was not enough, there was also freshly squeezed blood-orange juice to wash everything down. It was a very tasty brunch and an excellent way to start the day.
The Master Chef at Work
After our feast, it was time for history with Mary. With our second paper due on Friday, we discussed several more aspects of the medieval family, but the majority of class today was focused on a discussion of popes and the papacy. To add to our already relaxed day, Mary decided to end class early in order to give everyone more time to work on their papers. Unfortunately, this was the end of my relaxed day, as I had to get right to work on my paper in order to turn it in before travelling to Prague for the weekend. Much of the class was in a similarly hurried state with the paper, since everyone had travel plans for the weekend, except for Heather, who had chosen to stay in Rome for the weekend. Bryan, Alex, Matt, and I went to Prague; Stacie, Carly, and Maya went to Lyon, France; and literally everyone else (except for Heather) went to Istanbul. My apologies to Heather if it sounds like I’m picking on her—apparently we missed some great weather in Rome.
