I have once again failed as a blogger. I keep letting all of my lovely followers down, by not updating frequent enough. So sorry, never fear though, Gretchen is now here.
Let me bring you all up to speed on last week’s ventures. Tuesday and Wednesday were management days for me. I helped complete a weekly inventory with minimal supervision (except for the help from my two partners in crime, aka the other two interns). I also learned about forecasting and got to help forecast for a whole weeks worth of menus. Thursday was another scheduled tour day for us. We travelled down to East Haven, CT and learned all about the cheese making business at Calabro Cheese. We got the history of the company, walked the production area, and even got to try a few things. Calabro are masters in the cheese industry, and were kind enough to spend time with us. While I experienced and saw a lot while I was there, I am going to remain true to my word and keep my lips zipped on all the fine details.
With summer comes weddings, and Friday was my turn to participate in the celebratory season. I travelled to Indiana early Friday morning to help two of my very close friends celebrate their love. I helped run a few errands with the bride when I arrived, and then got ready for the rehearsal. We had a lovely time learning our roles for the wedding, eating a delicious meal, and even learned a non-traditional Greek dance to perform at the wedding to honor the bride’s roots.
Saturday started early at the hair salon. We each took turns getting our hair styled, all while eating breakfast and drinking mimosas. After our hair appointments, we headed to the church for lunch and to finish getting ready for the big event. It was crazy hot, but we made it through the ceremony gracefully. We spent the next couple of hours traveling around the city taking photos along the way. We stopped at a fountain, Purdue University’s campus, the church garden, and a local bar favorite Harry’s Chocolate Shop. The next stop was the reception. We had a beautiful dinner, and then I danced the night away to the live band. I headed back to my hotel at midnight, and left the hotel at 4:30 to head back to the airport. Short trip, but sooooo worth it!
I spent the rest of my Sunday either travelling or resting as my exhaustion from my short weekend was kicking in. I slept on both of my plane rides, and took a very long nap when I got back to Storrs. I got up Sunday evening to have dinner, catch up with the other two interns, and then called it an early night so that I would be fully recuperated for Monday’s adventures, as we had another tour planned.
As time would have it, I’m now slipping into my sleepy state tonight, so I will hold off telling you about my many exciting adventures from Monday until next time….
