A Night At Cambridge

Settling myself on the hard benches at the Tabernacle, I prepared myself for a dull evening of tuning myself out. A professor from University of Cambridge, England was making a special appearance to speak to the community, and any college or staff members from Dixie State College. Imagining a boring lecture, from a dried-up old prune, I was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised when one of our English professors started to host the Event. He was so entertainingly scatter-brained, that it set the humour for the whole evening. Expecting a much more serious and uptight event, it was a nice surprise to see laughter in the audience. The first part, and my favorite part, was a back to back recital by two professors of music. One, a master of the violin, and the other, a master of the piano, two of my favorite instruments. Introducing a piece from Beethoven, I was able to close my eyes and picture myself at 18th centuary orchestra. The music was amazing.
We had a beauiful look through a slideshow of the Enlgish country surrounding Cambridge. Marvelous shades of green, and hues of different flowers amazed me. Followed by a humurous presentation by the main event Professor from Cambridge. Quirky and funny, he displayed a cast amount of knowledge, coupled with an English accent that only augmented his intellect and mystery. It was a fun night for many of all ages. I won't forgt this night ever, and the University of Cambridge is looking a lot more interseting.
