I’ve been terribly sick since Wednesday so I haven’t really
done anything other than sleep this weekend.
My professors have all been fantastic about it (probably because I
warned them beforehand so please give them advanced notice if you do the same)
and I am in the process of rescheduling the midterm I missed.
My other friends have been cautious of my health and have
been trying to keep me out of the rain. I
also owe thanks to one of my TAs who told me I should probably not go to class
the next day if I continued to feel bad.
Admittedly it’s quite strange being sick in front of other
people. Being homeschooled I normally
hid in my room and avoided people (with the exception of that time I went
camping with a case of walking pneumonia, but I didn’t know how bad it was so I am going to say
that doesn’t count).
L&C Everyday Life: The Bon
It’s actually called Fields Dining Room, but I cannot recall
ever hearing a student call it that.
Here it is known as The Bon (pronounced ‘bone’) because it is run by a
company called Bon Appétit. Actually Bon
Appétit runs all of the food service here on campus, but only Fields is
referred to as The Bon and I’m not quite sure why.
Getting food is simple, walk through the entrance, have an
employee swipe your L&C ID (or pay with some other method if you don’t have
a meal plan), and after there it is more or less all you can eat buffet style
dining. Some items are served by
employees so even if you come to breakfast on the later end there is still
bacon left. Their menu changes
frequently so you aren’t always stuck eating the same thing.

| Zombie Night at The Bon |
Occasionally they’ll have a theme night such as Zombie Night
a couple days before Halloween.
They are quite accommodating to various dietary needs;
allergies, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc.; and you can always
find something to eat. Lunch and dinner there is always a salad bar and chopped
fruit is served with every breakfast.
For every meal they serve bread (& its various toppings), cereal,
and ice cream.
There is a revolving dish rack in the back of the dining
hall where you place your used dishes and any trash. Don’t forget to yell “thank you.”
Do you have any questions?
