Menu Management Monday

All in all, Monday was a pretty good day. I spent the day at work working on a
contract for Brookshires. They gave me this huge project the Tuesday after
Memorial Day and said get it done by June 1. There is no way! It was actually
due the day they gave it to me and I'm still working on it. Y'all remember all
those days I complained about having nothing to do? Why the heck didn't they
give this to me back in April or May? For the past three days I have been
working on setting up a master spreadsheet to help this process move a little
faster, but the system that Brookshires uses for contracts, hmmm, how can I say
this?... SUCKS! I left work and went to my apartment for about 45 minutes to
look over my notes for my final in Menu Management. I got to class about 6:50
and sat there for a little while longer skimming the notes for the big purple
stars I had drawn during the review last week. First, she gave us a class survey
while she left the room. I seriously doubt anyone gave her a bad review. The
only thing negative I put on the entire survey is that the chairs in the
classroom (that I have had every single lecture class in so far) are awful. They
are a white version of those little bitty pink chairs at Baskin Robbins, you
know the ones with the table not big enough to hold your banana split, much less
a notebook to write notes on. She passed out our exams, told us the three
questions to omit and I took the test. I was done about 7:45. She told me she
hadn't quite finished grading my menu project, but if I wanted to wait a few
minutes, she would do mine next. I walked down the hall to the computer lab and
sat there until about 8 and then went back. I picked up my menu project that I
spent so much time on weekend before last and walked to my car. I opened up my
project to the grade sheet she left in there and saw that I made a 74/75. Happy
that I made a good grade on my project I then went home and then decided to go
eat dinner. When I got in my car at my apartment I had actually planned on going
to Cheddar's, but somehow I ended up at Sushi Ichiban. I had a Philadelphia
Roll, which was smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado wrapped in rice. It was
good. I guess the sushi I ate made me want to go swimming because after the
news, when the weatherman said that we were fixing to get hit by a good storm
within the next hour, I put on my bathing suit and went and swam 15 laps in the
pool. God I am tired! Not long after I got back to my apartment did I hear the
first of many claps of thunder. The first one, I couldn't tell if it was really
thunder, or if we were being bombed. It was raining so hard, and the wind was
blowing and it felt so good outside that I opened up the sliding glass door by
my bed, closed the screen door and slept with the crisp breeze blowing across my
herb plants and into my room. I did NOT want to wake up this morning. My muscles
are sore from swimming and it felt so good in my room that I didn't want to
move. Although, by the time finally got up to get into the shower, it was hot
and muggy outside and I had to close the door and crank up the air conditioner.
