Day 1: Steak Please


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 name.
