Week two Friday Blog

This week was extremely busy mostly because of the install we had to do for Enxco, in my last post I mentioned that we took away their plants but that was because they're moving into a new building so we're prepping them again to suit the theme of thier company, windmills & solar panels. So all week all we've been doing was prepping the pots for Enxco which gave me cuts and bruises and I really didnt like the fact that I couldn't do my planned internship project. Instead I get to do something more epic I get to design and create a living wall for Mario Batali's restaurant, which in my opinion I think is just awesome cause I see Iron Chef whenever I can and I just can't believe that I get to create something for one of the Iron Chef's Restaurants. I really hope I don't mess up, well that's all I got to talk about today.
I'll see you all next week!!
Thanks for reading ^_^

Week one Friday Blog

I never want to see prune and train another fern again I had to cut about fifty of them this week and really it tired me out, but at least I get to sleep really well because of my work place. I'll admit every now and then it's a bit of a bore because of routine but the one thing I like about my workplace is that there is never a constant routine everyday it changes and I love the variety. For instance I pull weeds work in the office but lately this week I've been working in the back helping with prepping installs for companies. For instance this Thursday Joel, my coworker, and I went to this small bank called Beal Bank to install a couple plants I thought it was spectacular because when we came in with the plants the workers there lit up because we brought in a little bit of green in their lives. But the thing that made me a bit sad is when we took away the plants away from Enxco mostly because this one woman was all sad because we took them away. Overall I had a pretty good week it had its ups and downs but it was an awesome week.
Well I'll talk to you all later.

Internships Immersion

Hello readers its been a while since I've posted something on any of my blogs which makes me kinda sad but I've been extremely busy. Well here's something that's been happening at my shool recently and that is internships. So our school sends off our juniors to internships because it's part of the schools curriculum this internship is to teach us about the working world plus extra benefits but of course it depends on where we're working at. Our first day for all of us was last thursday and that was called Immersion day on this day we would all go to our workplaces around San Diego and basically preview what we're going to work and how we're going to work.
My Internship takes place at Good Earth Plant Company and my first day there was basically a slow day I almost fell asleep while researching about green roof projects that have been placed around San Diego and I thought that was pretty cool because there were a lot of projects done in San Diego that I've never heard about. Unfortunately I still felt drowsy even after finding about all these fabulous projects, I guess I'm not much of an office person. Besides my problem of trying to keep myself awake at work on the first day at work I felt very comfortable my mentor tried her best to keep me entertained by making me do other stuff because she noticed that I had a boring face on. In a way I felt slightly embarrassed cause I felt as if I was being slightly rude towards my workplace but she didn't seem to mind instead she seemed to understand so she asked me to do something else for her so we went on the roof and told me that this will be a small mini project I can work on and that's would be to grid the plants that are now on the roof and compare them to an old grid that was made two years ago. With this new activity I ended up having a lot of fun because I learned how to identify certain plants on the roof. Now I know this is just a summary of my day and I'm sorry that I kinda ranted for a bit but I'm just really excited about this internship because I'm having a lot of fun.
Well I'll write to you all later,
Sincerely, Andres
