another thing off the list...

One of the things on my list is a visit to [name redacted], the local bar that everyone at school goes.  Somehow I managed to make it through my first year and a half here without ever visiting said bar.  Until last night.  

Last night my oral competition partner and I won our argument in the second round, and therefore needed to celebrate. So off we went to [name redacted]!  I'm not quite sure that I understand the mass appeal, but the drink was decent and the grilled cheese sandwich was delicious.  I'll totally go back sometime in the future.  

a note on the oral competition:  we lost round one, and won round two; and thankfully (just how I feel) we didn't advance into the next round.  (the people with 2 wins and no losses advanced first, followed by the high scorers in the 1 and 1 group)  Oral argument is scary, but I feel that my character has been built by this experience.
