This is going to be a shorter post – so I’m going to skip
the usual fluff about my day at Orientation and only focus on the important
part of the day: dinner.
Part of my goals of this semester is to eat alone as
infrequently as possible. Meals simply provide a wonderful opportunity to
socialize and meet people while participating in an activity I love, that of
course, being eating.
Dinner tonight was at a Greek restaurant a few blocks west
and one block south by the name of Kri Kri and I went with Anita, Megan and
Devin to find it. We walked right past it the first time and went about four
blocks out of our way and only found it when Devin’s Czech flatmate decided to
join us for dinner and guided us back.
As a table we ordered a bottle of red wine and a plate of
Calamari before each having our own plates. I had a lamb and potatoes dish,
which came in a wax paper bag and tied. I’ve never seen anything like it, but
the wax paper certainly didn’t mitigate the flavor of the dish in anyway so it
simply looked like I opened a present. Who doesn’t like opening presents?
Though the food was delicious, the best part of the dinner
was certainly the company. We laughed so much throughout the dinner as we
engaged in friendly back and forth banter debating topics as varied as the USC Trojan
football scandal, the nuances of words like caveat, and a “bro” mentality and what
it entails.
Definitely a successful night!
