mari4212In the vein of continuing life lessons:
1. Buffalo Wild Wings restraunts and I are not compatible on so many levels. I went to one yesterday to see a few friends I wouldn't have gotten to see otherwise. I was glad to meet up with them, but the noise and the crowds and the food were all pretty much not worth it for anything else. Plus, it was so loud, half the time I couldn't hear them. I would have been much happier going to the Chinese resteraunt.
2. I continue to get along best with people two generations older than I am myself. Our host family had friends over for a picnic and impromptu concert from their kids, and I ended up joining them for dessert and conversations. The age gap between the other guests and myself was probably fifty years at minimum, more for the others, but we got along splendidly. One of them even shared some stories of when she was a little girl in France in WW2, and she'd go up to the Allied soldiers asking for milk for her and her brother. Talking to people that amazing, with that kind of history, is unbelieveably good.
3. I always need to double-check my dates when taking an independent study course. I thought he'd laid out the course dates in typical calender fashion, including weekends, so I thought the first test was today instead of yesterday. He let me take the test anyway, so I should be good, I just have to be better about reading his callender formatting and realizing that the twenty-ninth was a Thursday, not a Friday.
