Wow so much to talk about this week! Well, on monday and tuesday we got to work at one of the retail locations here at KU... The Market. We became "Brellas Sandwhich Crafers".It was pretty intense being thrown into the line but it was a lot of fun. Then we got to do a little cashiering. Also, we were given the opportunity to rearrange the organic section of the market to make it look more appealing to customers.
Wednesday was AWESOME! we got up super early and went to the Sysco building in Kansas City. We all got on a limo bus and went to go visit an Amish farm. I t was incredible to see the ingenuity and hard work of the farmers. I loved their jam making house. It had a huge steam kettle and tons of freshly topped cans of jam! We got to bring home some veggies that we picked out, so I look forward to eating those! Later we went to a park and a local Amish market provided lunch for us! the food was incredible. Especially the pie and home made ice cream! We even got to see the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile on our way back!
Thrusday and Friday were somewhat stresssful days since we were learning to be Baristas. We were tested on Firday and had to make 4 coffee drinks and 1 smoothie in about 10 minutes. It was definitly a lot harder than it looks at Starbucks! It was interesting to see and learn so much about what goes into making those fancy drinks, especially since I am not really much of a coffee drinker.
Earlier today Lanie and I headed over to Kansas City, Missouri and ran a 5k. We got to meet ultramarthon man, Dean Karnazus! Later we went to the Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art. It was Gigantic and took us most of the afternoon to get through.
It has been another great week at KU!
