Penn State University week 6


This past week marked our first week of management experience at the dining halls. I am shadowing the managers of Pollock Dining Commons along with two other interns. Our hours vary but my first few days were 12:30 p.m. – 9:30. I thought this would be great because I could sleep in, but as it turns out, the day really disappears when you sleep in and basically go back to sleep when you finish your shift. I’m now on a 5:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. shift and I am much happier!

            We had a great weekend here in State College. Our coordinator, Maria, invited us to a family dinner at her house. Her mother and husband helped prepare a feast of Filipino and Korean food. It was delicious! There were veggie eggrolls, steamed rice, Filipino grilled ribs, Korean barbeque beef, pickled cucumbers, salad and flan with fruit for dessert. The Korean Beef was my favorite but everything was amazing!

            Yesterday we worked a concert at the event center here and helped with catering and concessions. Steve Martin and a bluegrass band performed. We got to set up their dressing rooms with all of their requested food. It was pretty cool to see him in person casually eating a sandwich and chit chatting with the crew. Our weekend wrapped up nicely, and now we have July 4th to look forward to!
