And I quote..

.. my honors professor! As a member of the WSU Honors College, I have a certain number of honors classes I get to take before graduation. I say "get" instead of "have to" because all of them are so much fun. The topics are interesting, the professors truly care, and the class sizes are tiny (tiny I tell you!).

This semester, one of my classes (UH 380) is titled "Looking at Leadership Through the Eyes of the European Renaissance." We'll be reading Machiavelli and Shakespeare. Umm sign me up!

Anyhow, our professor is hilarious, and I have to share three awesome quotes from lecture today:

"To not appreciate man is to deny the greatness of God" (As related to how man thought during the renaissance, this isn't necessarily what my prof believes- we don't really get into that..)

"Going to Church doesn't mean you're Christian as much as being in a garage makes you a car."

"Knowledge is knowing that the tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing to not put it in your fruit salad."

The third one is definitely my fav :)

Proof of the necessity for a better chef's knife, and my occasional boredom at football games :) 

See #86? We worked on an English project together one time. See #2? We were in English together senior year. How cool!

I asked, and they answered

My question to the dietician:

Will the campus markets ever start carrying healthy, whole wheat bread that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it?

Her answer:

Hi Halley,

In the past I have made requests for certain items (not bakery though) and for some reason or another we cannot get them due to ordering logistics. For this reason, I am not going to make any promises, but it seems to me like this is an attainable request. Our current bread provider is Franz bakery – through Snyders. Franz does make several products that do not contain high fructose corn syrup. I have requested that some of these be incorporated into the Markets as well as the Dining Centers. I will continue to follow up on this issue. Please keep your eye out for Oregon Trail 100% Whole Wheat, Big Horn Valley All Natural 100% Whole Wheat, Salmon River Golden Flax, Shasta Wilderness Seven Whole Grains, 45 Calorie Whole Wheat and 45 Calorie Multigrain. All of these products are whole grain and free of high fructose corn syrup. This is according to their website – always check the ingredient label to ensure the formula has not changed!

Thank you for writing and please do not hesitate to write or call with any additional questions or concerns.
