This week was pretty boring as everyone was busy studying for midterms next week or working. One of the highlights though was the cultural celebration that Avila has every year. The cultural celebration is basically students/faculty/staff making and bring in food from their home countries. There are always a ton of different countries represented and lots of food to try. Personally I am very timid at trying something that looks anything but appetizing, but I always at least take a little of everything so that it looks like I am trying everything. The trouble is that it might look bad and in fact be really good or look bad and indeed be bad. So I am always taking the smallest of bites just in case it is bad.

This year practically everything was really good, which surprised me since most of it looked overcooked and dry. The best was probably the soup that I tried from two students from Japan. I am not a big fan of foreign soups, but this one really surprised me as it was extremely spicy.

At the end of the line were some Saudi Arabia students with their traditional food. In my geography class, some Saudi Arabian student had given a presentation over their country and given us some food which I didn't care for so I really debated whether to try the food from these Saudi Arabia students. I ended up trying one of their deserts which was probably the best desert I have had in a long time. It was like a fried rice crispy treat with caramel. It sounds strange but it was really good.

This next week I hope the weather stays nice as it is suppose to stay up in the 60s which means I will get to go fishing. Spring Break starts this week and that means I am going to be catching some serious sun and fish, if work permits me (bummer). Since I'll be taking some time off for break, I will be back in couple of week with some of the biggest fish stories ever. So until then…
