sandwiches - 30 minutes and counting

Ah, yes. Just a half an hour of work to go, and I will have a lovely Jimmy John's sandwich waiting at my doorstep.

No, I didn't sleep through dinner tonight. It's Sunday - and as all Beloit students know means no dinner will be served. While this fact may be annoying to a student trying to watch their bank account, the no dinner Sunday rule was initially established to make the students be a bit more proactive about their food consumption, instead of just mindlessly filing in and out of commons (looking like a scene from Pink Floyd's the wall).

This forced freedom is definitely nice, even though we are known to complain about every now and again. It allows us to take some time off of Beloit, venture into town and experience something a little different every once and awhile. When the checking accounts start to dry out, this no dinner Sunday gets pretty interesting. Usually, the meal ends is made up of some form of pasta (anything from spaghetti to easy mac), some type of vegetable (usually those baby carrots that have been sitting in the fridge for awhile), and dessert (granola bars, gushers, etc.). Its not the greatest, but if anything it makes everyone a bit more satisfied with the meal served in commons on Monday.


Well, the Jimmy John's delivery guy just called and that means I have a sandwich to attend to. Yum!
