Final Project Presentations Today!!!



We are having presentations in class today--YAY!!!!

Also, we are having a class potluck:


The origin of the word "potluck" from the Oxford English Dictionary:

 1. One's luck or chance with regard to what may be in the pot (i.e. cooked and available to eat), used originally and chiefly in reference to a person's accepting another's hospitality at a meal without any special preparation having been made. Freq. in to take potluck : to dine on whatever happens to be available; (now also more generally) to take one's chances, to take whatever is available; to be willing to take whatever one is given.

Pronunciation:  Brit. /ˈpɒtˈlʌk/ , U.S. /ˈpɑtˈlək/
Forms:  see pot n.1   and luck n.
Etymology:  < pot n.1 + luck n.In sense 2 now frequently associated with potlatch n., although it is unlikely that this played any part in the development of this sense.
