an ode to focaccia,

the best one I've yet to taste:

"Whenever possible, try a dish at its birthplace," an old proverb reverberated in my ears.
That I shall! 
Thus began my quest to acquire you in Cinque Terre.
You only cost 2 euro, but boy, were you de-licious. 
I'd pay a lot to smell, chew, swallow, and digest you again. 
The view wasn't too bad. I didn't mind it at all.
Portrait or landscape, Vernazza was quite the village to explore.

wallis annenberg hall

A few weeks ago, I got to tour the new Annenberg building. You know, that plot of land next to Campus Center that's been under construction for the past... good while? 
Having been at the groundbreaking ceremony, it's exciting to see that what was just sand is now a physical, tangible structure and (almost) ready to go! Although graduation is just around the corner, I'm thankful I get to enjoy Wallis Annenberg Hall for at least a semester. Keeping my fingers crossed that my last communication class meets here. I mean, I did save it for this building. 

#ootd or is it #aotd, accessory of the day? 
In we go!
Don't want to ruin the surprise, so let's just say there will be lots of cool multimedia spaces and lobbies and patios and classrooms.
 Did someone say gelato bar? Oh yes. Yes. Yes. 
I won't spoil the details, but our tour guide did mention the school is incorporating the newest technologies. Typical Annenberg. We didn't expect any less. 
Cardinal and gold florals. Foot traffic. Fences. A normal day's sights at the University of Summer Construction. Fight on!
And of course, no Annenberg event is complete without some goodies.
