No Daniel, Shoveling Turf Is NOT Like Cutting Lasagna

My legs and arms hurt.

Terracing a field in this humidity is NO FREAKING FUN.

This morning I was finally entrusted with making a business call to order more compost. Delivery was set for 1 hour and my boss seemed very pleased. One hour later, a truckload of mulch arrived.

Where the Hell are my Quickbooks projects?

Disheartened, I called the president of MidContinental Building Corporation at my lunch. This is the guy who offered me a finance internship last week. He seemed very happy that I was following up on his offer, and we set up a meeting for tomorrow at 10 AM. He mentioned that I would be building Excel spreadsheets to present to the banks arguing for 3 year amortization instead of 1 year on some of his stuff (at least that's how he worded it).

After a week of farm labor and no finance opportunities, the word amortization sends little thrills of joy down my spine. Here's hoping everything turns out.

Note that I will be doing 2 internships- I'm not giving up on WeFarm. I like WeFarm a lot. I just need some educational white collar work to justify my summer out here.

PS Haley made an amazing shepherd's pie for dinner. So happy, because I nearly collapsed from fatigue in the elevator coming home.
