Two More Days

The scourge of end-of-the-semester paper writing still looms, but progress is being made.  I’ve got two 25-30ish page papers due, one tomorrow, one Wednesday.  They’re both at 15 pages so far, and should be fine by the time they need to be in.

Kim and Louis and I went cheese hunting today – Dennis had had a party for all of us in his class last week, and had served really good cheese.  Not knowing that really good cheese was obtainable in Stillwater, he informed us of a few hole-in-the-wall places that sell such arcane things as organic produce, cheese that isn’t American or Swiss, and coffee that hasn’t been ground yet.  We resolved to make an outing to these places today.  The outing was made, and really good chese was found and purchased.  Amazingly, we ran into Dennis at the very store he’d recommended!  We went to a couple little shops, my favorite was one that was a cross between a Hallmark store and a Whole Foods.  One half was mugs, cards, and kitschy crap, the other half was a cooler full of Emantaller, Gouda, and more, along with shelves of crackers, dips, and sauces.  It was pretty awesome.

We went to their place and devoured our spoils, had some burgers, and then adjourned for paper writing, which is what I’ve (mostly) been up to for the evening.
