I and my GF attended a party for the history department faculty, staff, and graduate students. I'm not a real party-hearty type, but there are quite a few professors that I've never talked to. Also, while I know most of my fellow first-year grad students, I don't know many of those that have been in for a while.

It was potluck, students to bring desert and faculty to bring entrees; I made my customary angel food cake with whipped-cream-and-blueberry topping. The topping proved to be the most popular- I have it to the side so people can put on however much they want, and lactose-intolerant types can avoid it. Well, people were piling it on all sorts of deserts brought by other people, as well as eating it plain. It's kind of like blueberry ice cream, except even more fattening!

Several people brought their young children, which was entertaining. There was alcohol, paid for out of the department's entertainment budget- woo hoo! Except I didn't drink, as I was driving, and I am also a total lightweight.

I didn't stay all that long, but I got to know a bunch of people, and I had a good time.
