A break from Twix

As I do each semester, yesterday I posed for the French Department cameras with a wee bit of Camembert. Scroll down for evidence. (Along with evidence, it seems, that I am three feet shorter than my boyfriend, which I promise is not the case.) I'll have you believe that the piece of cheese you see is all the cheese I consumed over the course of the evening...

The "end of the year" party is a bit of a misnomer, since nearly everyone in the pictures is either in the process of writing final papers or will, once they're turned in, be grading those same assignments. But a little bit of wine and cheese cannot possibly impede one's ability to understand French literature. Clearly the wine and cheese are integral.
