The University of Oklahoma Week 5

The Weekend
On Friday evening, I went to Logie's on Campus Corner for the evening.  The next day we went to Bricktown for the Scotty McCreery and Lady Antebellum concert, which was awesome!  We also went to Crooked Crust that evneing in Campus Corner, and it was great pizza.  I highly recommend it!  On Sunday, I spent time out by the pool!

Monday
Today Lindsey and I spent the entire day in the office just working on some of our projects.  Dot is gone this week, so we have all week to work on those.

Tuesday
Today we worked a lot on our management review.  We also went with some of the TOD staff to get free snow cones at 11! Lauren is so great about trying to include us and make us feel welcome!  We also got lunch with them.  We went to a meeting in the afternoon that was reviewing the Employee Handbook for Food Services that is given to the employees when they are hired.  There was a meeting with a lot of the directors to discuss changes that need to be made to clarify some issues that they have had in the past year.

Wednesday
Today we went around with Frank for the day and he took us to Cate, Headington, the Stadium, and the Weather Center.  It was really fun!  Frank knows so much about all of the history of OU and all the buildings.  We got to also go up to Catering in the Union and try a Nutella Cronut that they are trying out, and it was delicious! I couldn't stop eating them, and ended up eating an entire plate.  Haha.  Headinton Hall is really really nice.  This is where all of the athletes stay, and the dining hall in it is called Wagner Dining, which is run by Curtis.  Since the dining hall is where the athletes eat, the sports dietitian for the university also has a large role in what is served.  All of the foods are labeled as either green, yellow, or red, and there was a ton of fresh fruit!  Lindsey and I loved it!  We ended up eating lunch here and it was awesome and so fresh!  We got to go up to the stadium and look out from all of the club seats and suites.  It is really nice up there, and I can't believe all of the work that the food service staff has to do on game days to feed all of those people.  We also got to go to the top of the Weather Center to the observation floor, and you could see for miles and miles.  It was incredible!  My family got in this evening, so we went to Ray's BBQ and it was awesome! I for sure recommend it!

Thursday
Today we worked on our projects in our office for the day.  Frank came into our office during the day and told us that we were all dismissed from work at 2pm for the day, which was exciting!  He also brought us cucumbers from his wife's garden, which were the biggest cucumbers I have ever seen.  We got lunch with my family at Laughing Tomato and then walked them around campus for awhile.  That evening I went out to eat at Pepe Delgados with my family and we went to the movies.

Friday
We had work off today due to the fact it was the fourth of July!  My family and I went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum, which was very well done and really interesting to learn about.  We then ate at the Mule in Oklahoma City, and their food was awesome!  We then watched the fireworks in Norman and played some games.
