Last night, we hosted the doctoral students for a “dinner’n’dish” evening. We doctoral students decided we needed time outside of the school to talk about the program, get ideas from those ahead of us on how to get through the program, plan for comps, strategize about selecting a committee, talk about our research, etc. So, our house got selected for location and I cooked! I made 2 huge dishes of Grandma DiMarzio’s Ziti (a huge hit), salad, and sliced peppers and cucumbers. Feeding 14 didn’t take as long as I thought it would and was a heck of a lot easier than I would have believed. (Having Paul as my official salad-prep man was definitely key!) Will was great. Some of the ways he entertained us:
– Escaping to the bathroom when our eyes were turned for a second and being found a few seconds later, both hands in the toliet, covered in toliet water
– Showing off his moves from “Riverdance” in the middle of our talking circle in the living room
– Walking around person to person, saying “HI!”
– Getting into a peek-a-boo contest with Jennifer Wheeler (fellow student)
– Chasing after “gato” and making everyone dive for their drink glasses before he crashed through
