Week 30

Day 203: Mar 1, 2015

Nothing much to report other than a relaxing day.

Day 204: Mar 2, 2015

The Sunday of my weekend was filled with cleaning my room and Settlers of Catan. Over all the day was pretty good except for when I had to try to figure out changes in the schedule. Apparently, even though I put up a sheet of paper asking for requests for the schedule someone felt that they couldn't write down their request so they asked Stuffi (after I made the schedule) for the change. So I am switching my weekend around later in the month so that things work out and I know that the person who is out right now is going to be pissed at me about the schedule when she comes back. At least with that one, I can just point her to the kitchen coordinator. Only five more weeks left in the kitchen.

Day 205: Mar 3, 2015

A good shift and otherwise boring day.

Day 206: Mar 4, 2015

Vespers was very interesting today. Originally, it was supposed to be a clown worship but it ended up being completely different. We talked about creeds and wrote our own. They were basically “I believe” statements. Other than that, I went sledding with Jade in the afternoon. It was a good day.

Day 207: Mar 5, 2015

It is wedding day!!! The wedding was short but beautiful. Jade was a flower girl and Ben (a 19yr old volunteer) was a flower guy. Shane's 6yr old brother was the ring bearer and everyone on staff was either a groomsman or bridesmaid. I thought it was kind of a cool idea to include everyone that way. After the wedding, I ran back to the kitchen to work to help feed the masses. At the end of the night, Shane and Meredith came up to me and the other cooks and gave us shell necklaces from Hawaii (where Meredith is from). It ended up being a fun but exhausting night.

Day 208: Mar 6, 2015

I made 200 grilled cheese today and 80 people came into the village. Lunch was crazy and was made even more so when 5 gluten free people came in who didn't let us know ahead of time. That means that we didn't have enough gluten free grilled cheese which lead to guests coming for the “compassionate voices” weekend being not so compassionate. A few of them were understanding but one in particular was really just kind of nasty. I mean the bus came in almost 45 minutes late and they didn't let us know ahead of time about their dietary “restrictions”. I can't cook for you if you don't let me know what you won't eat.

Day 209: Mar 7, 2015

A pretty average Saturday ending with a viewing of the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Originally, it was just going to be me and Pat but the movie is well loved in our chalet and word about its quality has spread. That meant that we ended up with 3-4 other people watching with us. It was nice to share the movie with people who hadn't seen it.
