Farm, Forecasting and Surprised birthday party all in that order

Hi Everyone,
Note: I am starting a count down to my 21st birthday (June 26th) and now I am at 3 more days. All birthday wishes and gifts are welcomed lol.
…I am coming to the end of my internship where I am trying to make the most of each day. So far, I have been able to do just that. Monday Carol C. and Eric took us on another tour to FreshPoint. FreshPoint is a produce company that supplies most of Uconn’s produce. We toured the storage area at FreshPoint, which incorporated the building’s cool and dry storage areas and office space. The tour guide even took us out to the loading dock and offered samples of produce throughout, which in my book is always a plus. However, the fun part of the tour came when we went to the Beckett Farm. This particular farm grows everything from beans to apples and even has its own veterinarian practice. I learned a lot that day and took a couple of really nice pictures. I wasn’t excited about the farm tour because I am definitely not an outdoorsy type of girl but it turned out to be really nice. While we were at the farm, we saw the most beautiful horses and we got to take pictures with them. During the tour Eric and Brittney kept picking and eating the vegetables but I was not taking that risk…I like my vegetables washed lol.
Eventually it was time to leave the farm and the horses. On the way home from the farm, Eric and Carol stopped at this strawberry farm and the girls and I picked fresh strawberries, again I couldn’t just eat them right off, so I decided to have them for dinner and boy were they good. Note to everyone, if you haven’t been to the strawberry farm right here in town, HURRY your time is running out. The rest of our day was spent working on projects which are coming along really well.
Tuesday and today was spent doing office work with Eric. I got most of Tuesday to work on my two projects as well as do inventory. We knocked out most of inventory because it was three of us however, we still weren’t done so we had to continue with it today. After we finally finished with inventory, Eric showed us how to do forecasting in detail. Before I forget, we also met with John Kuhl to do forecasting on our menu project but that didn’t take the whole day so that is why we were back with Eric doing Forecasting. In addition, I also had a midterm evaluation with Eric, it went well but talk about a nerve racking experience. Anyway, I saved the best for last. Today was Debbi Lee’s 29th birthday (ok…maybe not 29th) so we had a little surprised party for her. Debbi Lee is one of our assistant managers here at UConn. You could tell she had no idea we planned it and it was nice to see the shock on her face. The cake wasn’t bad either. Man! the staff at the UConn bakery sure can bake up a storm, I will give them that. All this talk about cake is making me hungry so bye for now.
