Updates...updates...
Well I'll start with this, happy mothers's day! Moving on...
Speaking of moving... I'm moving to Minnesota in about a month! I'm about 40% excited, 50% terrified and the other 10% is just filled with a proportionate mixture of stress, joy and some panicked moments. I think at this point I am most stressed about finding a stinken place to live! ( which makes me even more excited to see the tail end of summer so I can find a place to stay-stay for more than just a year.) Let me elaborate more about my internship, which is not much of an elaboration.
This summer I'll be working with Land O' Lakes in the Continuous Improvement department. For the duration of summer I'll have three (maybe two depending on how fast I work) projects to work on. L.O.L.'s ( as it's casually called) headquarters are in Arden Hills, MN. As far as I know, I'll be commuting between Arden Hills, Spencer (in Wisconsin) and Pine Island (which is in Minnesota and is also not an island as far as I'm concerned). The Spencer facility produces powdered cheese (I think...) like the stuff that makes your fingers orange, post Cheetos massacre and the Pine Island facility makes processed cheese ( I.e. The stuff that turns your insides orange, post nacho massacre).
That's basically all I know for now. Next I have to plan my trip for getting out there. Yay for road trips! As I project that I'll be having some quality me time in Minnesota (I promise I won't be too much of a turtle) I'm going to try to keep this more updated, if anything so yawl can see more Minnesota! Maybe I'll call those entries 'Life at L.O.L' or 'Mini-Sodas' or 'Wait, this isn't California'. Whooooooo knows. Until next time....
Stay tuned! Stay hungry!
