Week 5 at UGA

Hello everyone, It has been 5 weeks at UGA so far. The summer is just flying by.

Catherine and I started our week with an office day on Monday. We worked on our menus for the Freshmen closing banquet. We finished our menu and put it in the correct format. We also worked a little bit on our Tossing Greens project. Overall we got a lot done during our office day.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we spend the day at the Summit helping prep for the freshmen opening banquet. We helped Dawn do some cutting of produce in the kitchen. Catherine and I did the flower arrangements for the tables. We helped the baker get the desserts ready. And we also help setup tables on the day of the banquet. This banquet gave us an inside of what we are going to be doing during the closing banquet.

Friday, was an office day. But first we started the day with our mid-internship evaluations. We each talked to Kris to see if we are getting what we want out of this internship, and what we need to do. Then the rest of the day we spend some time with Stuart going over our Tossing Greens project. So far we have everything under control.

Week 5

The summer is flying by! Monday was some office time for Asenath and I. We spent the day at red clay working on finishing up our menu for the Freshmen College closing banquet and other details with that. Also, we got a chance to start some work on our Tossing Greens project, which will involve establishing the feasibility of introducing local and/or organic produce.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we spent the day at the Village Summit preparing for the opening banquet. We helped Janet put together all the flower arrangements for the dinner, we did a lot in the kitchen working with the cooks, and also were part of the set up and take down of the dinner that took place on Thursday.

Friday was another office day for us. We met with Kris in the morning for our midpoint evaluations. All our feedback from the managers was positive, so that was a big plus! In the afternoon we were able to get some more work done on our Tossing Greens project with the help of Stuart. Also, we met with Janet and Shelly to go over more details of our banquet. Everything with the banquet seems to be going very well, and I think it will be a success!
