Today I helped prep at catering for the Teaching Prize Gala, a huge fancy dinner for the next night. In catering they do this thing where they hire clubs and fraternities/sororities for a couple of hours of work and then they pay the money to that organization. So a bunch of these people and I were left to set up the tables for the event. We were supposed to have someone directing us but they kept getting called away so we ran into a bunch of problems and made mistakes when they werent looking. First of all we were given the wrong linens so after we set all of them up, we had to take them off and redo it. After that we set up the tables which took forever because it included about 4 different kinds of drinking glasses, coffee service, dessert, bread, and so on. We kept setting this up wrong, finding dirty dishes, and no one really knew what they were doing. It also was hard getting people to work especially since they weren't real employees. After eight hours of this we finally got a semi-finished product and left it alone for the night. It was exhausting but it feels good to get something done that big and it did look amazing.
So far I haven't really done much around the town of Davis. Denise gave me a bike so I am able to ride around campus and look around. I also have been going to the gym and reading at the library. Mostly it is just nice to relax and not worry about homework.
