I haven't actively posted anything for a while so here goes:
The fourth task was to walk/bike a lovely paved off-road trail to a cafe off campus. I, having neither a bike nor the time to run/walk/limp 5 miles, haven't gone on the Swamp Rabbit Trail and thus haven't completed the task yet. I really want to though! Just when midterms are over and I don't have to worry about the chain rule of derivatives and Descartes' theories about the existence of God. Okay? Okay.
The fifth task was to volunteer for one to two hours at the Furman Farm. To successfully complete this task you also have to have a picture taken of you at the Farm. Well, I never got a picture of myself taken there, but I spend about 8 to 10 hours a week working at the Farm. I get paid in delicious fresh produce (and dollar bills) so it's technically not volunteering. Anyway I don't know what I'm supposed to blog about the Farm. I love all of the people that I'm working with! Bruce Adams, the Farm Manager, says we have an awesome hardworking "Farm Team" this year. Almost all of us are underclassmen (there are 6 freshmen and 2 sophomores) but there's also a senior who worked with the Shi Center over the summer. Oh and we have a cat. His name is Tink and he's an adorable chipmunk killing machine. Last weekend we cleaned out the garage and then had lunch where we had a salad mix directly from the garden. It was the freshest salad I'd ever had in my life! It had probably been off of the plants for about three days. The funny thing is Bruce said it was gross and he couldn't eat it because it wasn't fresh enough. Pretty soon there will be a farm stand open on Wednesday afternoons where any student who wants fresh produce can come by to purchase some.
This Wednesday I'm going to complete task six and get this blog back under control. The task is to go to a Cultural Life Program (CLP) about Eustace Conway, "The Last American Man", and his adventures living off-the-grid. I'm sure it'll be interesting.
