Dishroom Weekend

¡Hola!

Working in the dishroom this semester has been really great! The intense labor and late hours of washing dishes until midnight doesn't even phase me anymore, because it's soooooooo worth it. 

In the beginning of the school year, when I signed up to work in the dishrooms, the other dining hall workers felt bad cause I had the "hardest job"...compared to serving desserts or cleaning tables or etc. It frightened me a little. It's ironic though how the "hardest job" turned out to be so much fun. I can't even imagine doing the other jobs. Dishroom allows me to stay awake the whole time because there's always work or goofing off to do. We're hidden in the back instead of out in the open cafeteria, so we can basically do whatever we want -- Sing, dance, scream, throw ice around, slip and slide, or.....

..............STACK 150 PLATES!!!!!

It was about a foot away from touching the ceiling.

Another great thing about being in dishroom, it's easy to get to know each other really well and get closer. We're all pretty much stuck back there. We can't go out and socialize with people, but we socialize with each other. I can sincerely say I've made some good buddies working there.

In fact, in lieu of the upcoming holiday, we decided to do a little Thanksgiving celebration two weeks before the actual holiday on the 12th of November. We couldn't do it the following weekend cause we would've been gone on Thanksgiving break. yEp!!

Saturday, November 12th - Dishroom Danksgiving

After our different agendas for Saturday morning, we met up at Taco Bell in the afternoon for our Taco Bell Thanksgiving Dinner. HAHAHA! It was a pretty funny idea. We all ended up eating before anyways, so we just got something tiny from Taco Bell. 

Nacho BellGrande

Yum...I had the Nacho BellGrande. Becky and I used to like this a lot when we were younger. Still good!! :[]

After picking up some grub-a-dub-dub at TB (Cool kids call Taco Bell "TB"), we walked like half a block back to my apartment and hung out and junk until they had work at DISHROOM (WOOT WOOT!) around 7:30pm. I walked with them and checked out their apartments. It was a nice day. DISHROOM DISCIPLES! SPREAD OUT!! <---uh...we don't say that...I don't know why I did. 

Anyways, on to the next day. 

Sunday, November 13th - Breakfast w/ Late Dinner-ers
We're the late dinner-ers...cause we work together during Late Dinner. LOL.

Anyways...

We had plans to grab some breakfast at like 10am. Driving around campus during Dad's Weekend (an organized weekend where a bunch of dads visited their sons and daughters at UIUC) looking for a place to eat was such a pain in the butt. EVERYTHING WAS CROWDED!! Even when we drove out of campus to Bob Evans, the restaurant was packed. It was hard to settle for a sit-down place where we could eat. We compromised with Panera and I HAD MY FIRST BREAD BOWL. Bread-in-a-soup bowl? Soup-in-a-bread bowl? I don't know. I think it's just called Bread Bowl. I forgot to take pictures, but it was pretty good.

We had a good half an hour to sit and eat before Christian had to drive me to dance practice at 12:30pm. Most of our time was spent driving around, but it was still pretty fun.
