sandwich frenzy

Hm, the dates on my blog are still EST, or GMT-500. I'm in GMT+1100 right now, so they're wrong. It's Monday morning right now.

Anyhow, this morning was the first day of classes for the Uni. This means that everyone where I live decided to get up and catch the first shuttle in. Okay, here's the deal: breakfast opens at 7:30, and the shuttle leaves at 8:00. This means that everyone who could was frantically eating breakfast, making a sandwich for lunch, and attempting to catch the first shuttle of the day.

My leisurely sandwich-making ritual turned into a feeding frenzy today as approximately five million students swarmed around the sandwich-making stands in the dining room. Okay, maybe only 70, but the space is small, so it was intense. There was lettuce everywhere when it was over, and there were about 125 people packed onto the bus that normally seats 100.

Needless to say, my sandwich is not up to par today. I need to work on this.
