Rebecca and I planned our day around going to a lecture this afternoon -- a Colloquium on Political, Social and Legal Theory.
Rebecca brought the requisite paper home for me to read which I obediently did -- I got through 2/3's of it before being interrupted with another task.
I took beverages to the lecture: one diet Dr Pepper and one Zero Coke, just in case the presenter was't up to keeping me awake.
Half way through the lecture I was surprised to put down my note-taking pen and realize that so far I knew all of the hard words the professor was using. Then I picked my pen up again and kept taking notes.
Rebecca introduced me to many her colleagues who were there.
I don't know if a good time was had by all, but I enjoyed myself.
