Eddington, Sponges, and Frustrating Menus

So as per usual, Hannah and I got into a conversation last night which ended up with us surfing the internet. We searched for and found a movie called "Einstein and Eddington" with Andy Seagle and David Tennant. Very good. Not only was it a very interesting look at politics in science during world war one, it had a great script, two really good actors, AND had multiple scenes set in Cambridge. Yay! We got very excited when we saw places we recognized. Perfect time to see it.
Class is going at a very fast pace. Dr Kimbrell is only really skimming over topics, so I need to make sure that I actually know the information in depth before we take the first test on Thursday. It's frustrating when you get stuck on a concept that you can't go over immediately and must wait to come back to. Not good at moving off a topic I don't yet have straight in my mind.
I feel like I did a good job making use of the opportunities I have to talk to Dr Kimbrell today. I finally asked a lot of questions I had been saving up since reading the book and got some interesting answers. I also practiced my socialization/networking (see dad???) by making sure I sat near her during dinner and got to talk to her about her international experiences and post-doc in Cambridge. I think she'll know me a little better now.
We had a formal four course dinner in the Great Hall tonight. Yes, mom, I took pictures of the food, but I only had my cell with me so I'll have to show you later. The menu was slightly frustrating because the first course was an odd grilled and oversalted cheese from Cyprus that was kind of weird, the second was fish, which I tried but still can't eat a lot of (too fishy), and the third was lamb, a dish I kind of object to like I object to veal and foie gras (not as intensely as those too, but I'm still not a fan). I ate a bit of it, but I'm still uncomfortable eating it. Great veggies though! I got enough to eat, but it was vaguely dissatisfying. HOWEVER- the dessert was FANTASTIC. We had raspberry cheese cake with raspberries and raspberry gel (?) and apricot gel (?). It was sooooo good! I didn't want to finish it because it would then be gone, but it managed to scurry off my plate anyways. Ah, well. I enjoyed it.
I also finally got to look at the Chronophage at night. It looks even cooler when it is dark. The LEDs run around and add a new and mesmerizing effect to the clock. I took a video, but again, it's on my phone, so I'll have to post that later (I hope I can post it!).
Alrighty- off to review the stuff we covered to day. Talk at you later! (seriously! I can still get fb! Talk to me ppl!)
