Hey! So The fourth of July break threw me off. Last week, the first part of the week, Marcia and I shadowed the closing managers for one of the dining halls here. We learned how to shut everything down and the procedures for closing the lines. Last week was a short work week because we were off for the fourth, which was a lot of fun. My mom came to visit and we went to Asheville, North Carolina. We saw the Biltmore estate and the winery, and then we just hung around Asheville for a little while. They break was nice. I got to enjoy and see more things of Athens. This week has been fun too. We helped with the opening Banquet for the freshman college, and Marcia and I got to make our own flower arrangements!! We also got a chance to work on our flower arrangements for our closing banquet. This week has been filled with a lot of test tasting of the recipes that we will be having at our banquet. It has been very yummy! The recipes are great and authentic!

My 4th of July weekend was great I went to Chattanooga, Tennessee and visited one of my old roommates from last year at MSU. We got a chance to catch up and she showed me around town so even though I wasn't at home in Michigan I still enjoyed myself.
Now that the 4th of July has come and gone it's really starting to sink in how little time I have left here, before i know it it will be time to pack up and leave. Liza and I still have a ton of work to do on our projects and have been spending a lot of time as of late working on the banquet that we are putting together for later on this month. Yesterday we got to see what the opening banquet looked like and that helped out a lot with putting some of the ideas we had together. Today will be spent working on recipes and helping cook and taste test some of the food that will be presented at our banquet.
