Late Night Breakfast was lastnight – free food in the Pit from 10-midnight.  My shift was not until 11, but I am told that there was an enormous line at 10 and the place was packed. We served breakfast foods – french toast (which went fast and ultimately ran out), turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, potatoes, biscuits, gravy, grits and oatmeal, and cereal.  There might have been more foods, but this was what I saw from my station.

My read of the students’ faces lastnight was that they all seemed pretty chipper for finals.  Most of them just seemed so happy to be getting a free hot meal. The staff at my serving station would ask students what they were studying for, and I feel like I heard a lot of business courses, chem, philosophy, Spanish, and religion.

My sources tell me that the fairies have been busy over the last day, giving out pizza in South Campus residence halls, doing guerrilla donut delivery in the ZSR Library, and that evidently there is still more fun to come!  The students always appreciate free food, but a few kind words from staff in costume is always a mood lightener.
