Chocolate gifts
I start my new job as a florist on sunday. Really I guess I would be an amateur florist, but people are going to be asking me all about flowers and I better learn it all pretty darn fast. My last final is friday afternoon, imagine that, and then I will have one day off before I get to start the job. I am excited to start since I have no experience in flowers and because this shop also sells chocolate gifts. Now if you met me you wouldn't think that I would be an addictive person, but when I see chocolate in front of me I just can't stop eating it until I have finished it all. Fortunately for me, I will be getting a discount on everything including the chocolate gifts. I plan to spend my time off of work either at the pool or hiking so I don't think I need to worry about eating too much chocolate this summer. I mean really is there ever such a thing as too much chocolate? Anyway, so this job is going to be great because I have worked at a farm before but we didn't grow flowers. I want to use both of these experiences eventually to set up a community garden in a city somewhere. I think I would do a full hydroponics set up and try to get it all funded by the city. I would also like to use the garden as an experience for my students when I am a teacher. I will be teaching history and I think that anything having to do with knowledge of the earth and growing our own food, is one of the most important social lessons we can learn. So I think this will be my first step towards really realizing this goal since I had dreamed the concept a year ago while working on that farm. So for now I think I will be the only employee out of any flower shop in town here who is taking notes while they work. If you see me around staring at flowers and writing stuff in notebooks, please refrain from any laughing and joking and just leave me be.
