Fried Fish, Films, & Cocktails






So, Friday was crazy! At 3:45 p.m. the World Youth Day Club began setting up for our second Lenten Fish Fry Fundraiser. It was really windy, and it looked like it might possibly rain, so we set up under the breeze-way of the Student Union. It was a great success! And it was really fun! A lot of families came to have dinner. :)
After the Fish Fry (approx. 6:30 p.m.) and a quick change of attire, I went to a cocktail party hosted by one of the philosophy professors. Some of my friends and I had beseeched her to have said party because she would often preface interesting (if not unusual) philosophical points with the statement: "And this is what you can say at a cocktail party...." So we finally had our party, and discussed contraception, being, and abortion.
Quidquid recipitur ad modum recipientis recipitur! (Whatever is received is received according to the mode of the receiver)
However, the symposium ;) adjourned early as the majority of us trooped down from our lofty pearch atop the Student Union balcony to attend the Ameture Film Festival. I am amazed at the talent on campus! There was a moving silent film about the heroic sacrifice made by our soldiers, and a poignant movie called "Second" (written by one of my classmates) about a mentally confused woman. They were excellent! "Second" won the official award of Best Film and the popular vote. It also received the award for best technical work.
Good times were had by all!
