Week 9

Tuesday, 5/25/10

Tuesday was a disappointment for me as due to circumstances beyond me; our instructor advised that I do not take the trip to avert any further problems. I have looked forward to this trip. Apart from its educational benefits, it was another opportunity for me to see another part of our beloved Ohio. The closers I have come to visiting a dairy product site was when I visited Nestle back Home as a child. Even though it brings back good memories, as a child its educational significance was of no importance to me as the trip was more like getting out of the confinement of class and doing class work.

I am very disappointed because now that I understand why these trips are made, I did not get the chance to make one. However, I took time to speak my garden group who informed me that the trip was worth taking and they enjoyed every bit of it. They could not help but talk about how they got lost on their way to the farm. That was quite an adventure and which I wished I was part of. It was interesting to know that they were told the average dairy farm in Ohio has 80 cows and this is impressive. However, it is my hope that this class will be mounted next year so I can join that class to see a dairy farm with the permission of the instructor.


Thursday, 5/27/10

I will call Thursday the putting together information day. My group and I took time to go over our project and I must confess, I was impressed with my group member’s contribution to the final output. I will say our work was about 95% done when we dispersed. We only need to polish some Tabs and we good to go on next Tuesday. We cannot wait to show our beautiful garden to our classmate.
