We bring our own sack lunch (fully disposable) for that day. We've discussed our daily schedule, how we clean up after ourselves at meals (table "hopping" - working together to clear the table, sort dishes, etc.), how we need to take quick showers, what to pack, and so forth a bit already. Start getting your things packed ahead of time!
