If you take a right on University Ave, you can see what it looked like about a week after the bridge collapsed.

If you are asked to pass a dish, you should pass to your right. It is acceptable to pass to the person directly to your left if they ask you to. Do not serve yourself first. When another diner asks for an item to be passed only the person nearest the desired item should reach for it. Remember, salt and pepper are always passed together, even if only one was requested. If you need an item from the table that is not closest to you, ask for another diner to pass it to you rather than reaching across the table.

Monday was Kevin’s birthday. We went to Town Hall.
Tuesday we had our first section dinner together. I’m in Management Informaion (MIS).
Wednesday night we had our first real section meeting.
Thursday a new version of ubuntu came out. It did not work very well on my computer, but I think that is because my cdrom is broken.
Friday night we went to the Pozarski’s for dinner. We played some ice breakers, 4 on a couch, and sang songs and all was fun.
Saturday night we went the huge U of M music performance where pretty much every group performed. Rachel played violin and Kristen sang.

Sunday we had a CM.
