English Society, Work, and Fondue

Our first English Society meeting was on Tuesday. We talked about our upcoming annual banned books week reading and other events we would like to see happen. Our banned books week reading is this coming Tuesday, and we are going to read passages from books over the years that have been banned or challenged. As president, I have been busy baking cookies to bring to meetings and events. Luckily, some of my friends are going to make cookies with me today. Being president is a lot of work, but at least I have wonderful co-officers and club members who I can count on for help.

On another note, I started working in the writing center last week. I still do not have official hours yet, but I did see some students on my own time. All the new writing assistants have veteran writing assistants as mentors, which is nice for us to have someone we can to with questions and concerns. My mentor is my friend Moon, and I had the pleasure of observing her on Wednesday. I am really excited to start working at the writing center more, although I am naturally nervous about leading a student in the wrong direction.

Last night I went to the Anchor (our newest hang out spot on campus) where I heard some jazz and enjoyed fondue. The picture on the left is cheese fondue, while the one on the right is chocolate. There were graham crackers, marshmallows, fruit, and bread for dipping. As a foodie, I am going to put a fondue machine on my Christmas wish list.



Well, I shall conclude here as my history paper and Gulliver's Travels are calling me. Adieu!
