Friday 24 August
It is dreadfully early to begin
the school year, but UC is going to the semester system, which apparently means
starting classes before Labor Day, dammit.
Our Classics Department held its
opening party the Friday before, at Baba Budan's, which is not only near Blegen Hall, but does
food as well as plenty of beer and wine for such special occasions.
There was an abundant spread,
though it adhered to no particular theme or ethnicity. There were toasted Reuben sandwiches with
coleslaw, falafel-filled pitas, and some good hummus and garlic dips as well as
rather uninspired green and pasta salads.
Dessert was a Greek-style cookie
platter, and it was fun to see how many eminent professors and serious students
were dusted with powdered sugar by the end of the night.
At least, I hope it was sugar...
