Day 22 - Sunday 5/26 - creating a counter-culture splash in the dining hall

Here we are, our fourth Sunday in Oregon.  We figured out after the first week that we would have enough time to attend the full 3-hour block of Church (9-noon) and still get back in time for lunch if we left the chapel as soon as Church is over.

Lunch is served in the Dining Hall for only 30 mins, so we pull into the lab, park, and go straight to lunch.  The counter-culture effect is that the Dining Hall is not a place where you normally see formal dining.  In fact, most of the time we see people wearing t-shirts, jeans, knee-high rubber boots, etc.  So seeing a group of a dozen students wheel in there wearing dresses, shirts, ties, etc., well, it raises a few eyebrows.  It's fun actually.

Last week some of the OU students even started asking questions.

And so today is a lot more calm than yesterday - it would have to be.

There are a few students who have to collect time sensitive data in the lab or field this afternoon, but aside from that, everyone is taking it easy.

There will be another game of "Settlers of Catan" around 3p, then FHE after dinner.  The planned FHE movie is "Finding Nemo,"  That's appropriate for our last Sunday.

That's the scoop for Day 22.  Stay tuned for updates on our last week of MBFE at OIMB.
