day fourteen: the gourmet veggie club
day thirteen: #12, the beach club.
It's always been one of our most popular, but something I had never really had any interest in trying. Turkey, cheese, avocado... I guess it was just that I had made so many (a somewhat irritating sandwich to make with all the cheese and avo) for so little thanks (a certain kind of irritating, ungrateful person seems to order this sandwich). But I mean, that's the deal I made with myself at the beginning of this. And I'm learning up here how important to keep the deals, even if it's something as minute and cheesy (pun intended) as this goal I've set for myself.
I ended up not eating it for lunch, as I had enough time between work and class to get something hot (which sadly just turned out to be chicken nuggets). But after class, I was tired of sitting in my hotel room, so I decided to wander up and down Green Street (which is the main college drag in town). I went to the downtown campus Jimmy John's, which was really really nice - bigger than ours in Blacksburg, but it didn't do delivery (there's another one six or so blocks away that does delivery). Champaign-Urbana, however, is a really awesome city - though it's probably more my lack of experience in actual cities speaking. Undoubtedly bigger cities are more exciting, but for me, this was a good step.
There was also a Coldstone, so that was delicious.
Otherwise, an uneventful day.
Day 14: #13, Gourmet Veggie Club
I guess if there was ever a day to test my resolve to the Sandwich Gauntlet (as it's become called), it would be this one. I mean really, who wants to eat that much cheese? It really seems unnecessary. I already ate the standard vegetarian, and I didn't want to put it on wheat bread (that would really just be insane).
I could, you know, just eat some other sandwich that's mainly cheese.
Anyway, we opened well today, and got everything done on time, so we got some quick breakfast at Arby's (tasty breakfast sandwiches). Around 10am, our training manager got a call from the central office saying we needed to come back an hour or two earlier, before class. Not just us, specifically, all the training classes were to head to the corporate office -
We were going to meet Jimmy John Liataud.
(to be continued, seriously, I am so tired right now)
