Well, that’s a wrap! Demi and I have successfully completed
our internship at UGA! The internship was an amazing opportunity, I learned
more than I could of expected, and I cannot thank the people that helped me this
summer enough!
Here’s a quick rundown of my last week at UGA.
Monday:
Today was exciting, exhausting, and a relief all at once.
The banquet went exceptionally well, minus a few last minute dilemmas. We had
previously ordered mini chalkboards for each of the tables to be used with the
centerpieces, but they did not come in on time. But, with “The Show Must Go
On!” attitude we continued on with decorating and planning. Even without the
chalkboards the tables decorates turned out great and the entire facility
looked awesome! We spent 12 hours today with the Summit crew, setting up,
executing the event, and then putting everything back away. However, I couldn’t
of been happier with the results! A Night at The Eiffel Tower seemed to be a hit!

Above: we used baskets filled with empty wine bottles to set the french atmosphere.
The above three pictures are just three examples of the awesome food Chef Sam prepared! We had cheesecake crepes for dessert, gnocchi as a side dish, and ratatouille as a vegetarian option!
This was our crepe stations, we tried to set the atmosphere of a street care with the cobble stone, umbrella and a large chalk board sign!
Under the Eiffel Tower we served sparkling grape fruit juice which seemed to be a hit!
Tuesday:
Today we headed over to Summit for an hour or so to finish
putting away decorations from Monday night.
After that we went with Kris, to YourPie, a local pizza
franchise. We met with the fonder Drew and had lunch discussing the operation.
Its always enjoyable talking to business owners and picking their brains, and
this was no exception!
Wednesday:
Well, today was our very last day as interns. Bittersweet. I
am so excited to be headed home and to see my family, and enjoy a few weeks
before school starts back up, but I sure will miss all the friendly and
welcoming faces at UGA.
Today we wrapped up the intern life by presenting our training
module on cross-contamination, looking over resumes/cover letters, and
completing our final evaluation.
I would like to take a minute to thank the entire UGA Food
Service team for making this experience great, and guiding me through the summer!
A BIG thanks to Kris, for organizing an amazing program! I cant believe how
fast this 9 weeks has gone, but who knows maybe I have future in the south ;)
