Day 9


I am working off of 5 hours of sleep. But I make it to product knowledge and another interesting day.

Today we discussed ripe fruit and vegetables. We all got to sample an under ripe pepper, a ripe pepper, an under pear, and a ripe pear. Possibly because my history about food as been so nieve that I ate under ripe things, I preferred the under ripe samples to the ripe. I thought they had more of a crisp and were sweeter- maybe I need to train my palate more. After product knowledge I enjoyed laying in my bed listening to the Guess Who- again more of the simple things in life that keep you happy.

Math was simple and writing (believe it or not) boosted my day. I still strongly cling to my opinion to feeling as though I'm in middle school when I walk through that door, but today I was complimented on something that I know I'm good at and everyone loves that too happen.

After class I decided for another simple pleasure. I haven't read all summer, something I love and miss deeply. I grabbed my Pride and Prejudice and walked down again to the ledge over looking the river and read until sunset. I walked back to my dorm, eating wild strawberries as I did, and was called over by two friends. I sat and talked to them for a long time until we gathered quite a group. Today's social was ice cones and we all grabbed one and headed back to a dorm for some music and relaxation. Yes I broke my promise again, but I feel like I deserve some a life experience and why not start now?
