Special Report: Jason Elliot Benda clears 20 meals
During the week of 16-22 April 1995, I have succeeded in doing the near impossible: to use all 20 of my meals under my Dining Services meal plan. (I even ran out of meals before running out of meal periods--Saturday dinner remained when I hit the magic 0.) See below how I progressed through the week before reaching my goal at 1:10 Saturday afternoon. (Just a note--I now have downsized to the 14 meal plan, so I can't pull off this marathon again. I'm not THAT stupid!)
