Hello everyone! This summer went by really fast. UGA has been a great experience for both Catherine and I. We worked with some great people and made lifetime friends. Is sad leaving everyone but I think my family and friends are ready to see me.
This Monday was our Freshmen College Closing Banquet, that we have been planning all summer. The decorations were beautiful and the food was great. Everyone really loved the food we choose, which was a relief. Overall the banquet went super! I'm glad that all our hard work and planning really showed.
On Tuesday and Wednesday Catherine and I took some time to finish our Tossing Greens project. We have been working on it all summer, but these two days gave us the chance to put some finishing touches. I think we covered all the questions that needed to be answered. We will present this on Thursday to Kris and the director of food services and the chefs.
Thursday is our last day at UGA. The staff had a going away party for us today. It was really nice, and it gave us a chance to say bye to everyone. Kris presented us with our NACUFS certificate for completing the internship. After the party it was time for us to present our Tossing Greens project. I started by presenting the power point and Catherine followed by presenting the pricing information on the local and organic produce. We came to a conclusion that UGA should use local produce in the Red Clay Cafe on campus. and we also presented some other suggestions. I really hope they use the information we gave them about going local.
Friday Catherine and I head back home :(
Thank you everyone for an awesome summer!

Week 8 at UGA!
This summer sure went by fast. I can't believe we have been here for 8 weeks and we only have 4 more days here. Catherine and I are sure not ready for the summer to end.
On Monday we shadowed the catering crew in the afternoon, so we can see how they get things set up for the freshmen orientation. I really enjoying seeing what they do and how fun it is. Catering would be a cool field to get into because everyday is new and different.
Tuesday Robb Irwin took us on a field trip to Farm 255. We got to talk to the owner about the importances of using local and produce. She gave us some great points. The most fun part was when we helped them harvest cucumbers. It was a great experience. Thanks Rob!
Wednesday we spend the day at the assistant manager training. We did some great activities that really helped us learn more about the importance of team work. We also got a better understanding of what good customer service really is. I learned a lot of important things today, that I'm going to take back to my school with me.
Thursday we spend sometime with Katherine to see what she does as a Dietitian for UGA Food Services. We got to see a cooking class that Katherine co-teaches at the student health center. The class was really cool, it was design to help any student learn how to cook meals. Katherine gave us an insight of her job and what to expect as a Dietitian if we were to go in the field.
Friday we spend the day at the Summit getting our flower arrangements ready for the Freshmen College Closing Banquet on Monday. Everything is going great so far, I can't wait to see how it turns out on Monday!

Week 8
Oh my, I cannot believe it has been eight weeks all ready! The summer really did fly by. Asenath are having so much fun here and I know both of us miss our families but are also not looking forward to leaving.
This week we started with a late day on Monday. We shadowed catering during the Orientation dinner and got an idea of what they do every do. The whole catering staff is so nice. I’ve had some experience with catering and I all ready really like it, so seeing it from a different level like a university reaffirmed that it might be something I would want to do later in life.
Tuesday was a lot of fun. Rob planned us a field trip to Farm 255. We got to help with their harvest and we were able to speak with one of the owners who gave us some really good insight on the subject of going local. I think it will help a lot with the direction of our project.
Wednesday we spent the day at the student learning center with half of the assistant managers. I really liked the activities and the movie about the deli in Ann Arbor. It gave me a really good idea of what good customer service actually is, and opened my eyes to how bad some establishments actually are. Kris thumbs up for the day! I think everyone was able to take something away from it.
Thursday we spent the day with Katherine. We got to see the cooking class offered here at UGA. I wish MSU had that; I’m jealous! Later in the day we observed and graded senior dietetic students on a presentation covering healthy eating for Freshmen College students. Katherine also took the time to give us some great insight and advice about our futures as dietitians. Thanks Again Katherine!
We were at the Summit on Friday preparing for the Freshmen College closing banquet. Using big vases for the centerpieces was a great idea until it came to actually arranging them all, but Janet and all the workers that helped us were so great and we got the job done relatively painless! I’m excited for Monday to see our work come together.
