Anyone who has ever complained about the lines at the DMV or at Disneyland has NOT experienced the 'Edge' at Harker during lunch. I usually skip to the salad bar or grab some soup to make my visit short in the hell hole but today I was feeling risky and decided to wait in the mosh pit for the main course because I really like steak burgers. That was a mistake. The usual 25 people crammed into a 4ft x 4ft space, 3 meals served in around a minute and the peanut gallery of 30 more people standing back asking friends to grab them a few plates.... Big mistake. I always thought I would have the art of shoving completely under my belt by the time I was an upper classman. I'm absolutely horrible. I finally slipped my way to the front. Being in the front doesn't make a difference. I was so frustrated, I gave up and started to walk away until I heard my name. The lunch lady not only was personally handing me my plate, but she knew my name. It was by far the nicest thing all day. Got me thinking all day. My goal for when I'm at school: find out her na
me.
me.

HEY. i like your blog! and i hate the edge at the beginning of lunch when it's sooooo crowded and loud and bumpy and noisy. everyone shoves everyone else around. except for Dr. Jahshan, who still believes in orderly lines. bless her soul. what a kindly person.
i like this story :)
sometimes, it helps if you have some taller person in front of you to help you fight your way through.
:B
good bye, love

i like how you're doing acts of kindness, it warms my heart. :)
That's so sweet! :)
:) aw thats sweet!
seriously, those mosh pits are SCARY.
try going in when you're a FRESHMAN. :(
I mastered the art of getting to the front of the crowd last year :) I'm really good at it, too. But instead of SHOVING people out of the way, I slip by.
Ahh, the benefits of being short.
AWW, I think it's really sweet that she 1) knew your name and 2) personally handed you the plate.
The Harker Kitchen staff suffer us at our most barbaric times, they deserve some credit =/
aww that must have been really nice to hear!
