This is so weird. The fall quarter has started at Cal Poly and I have no class schedule. I don't have to wait for SLO transit to slug down the street at its snail pace. I don't have to deal with crowded hallways. I don't have to suffocate in a cement library. And most of all, I don't have to run up and down the hilly campus to get to those darn microbio labs on the fourth floor of Fisher. lol.
Don't get me wrong. I totally miss the busy-ness of school. And the close community of friends. I miss the craft center too. I think my brain is melting from lack of use. Geez. This will have to be a short entry as I have to prep for my job interview. I have no idea what to wear. Goodness.
So I finished reading "Complicated" and found it rather enlightening. I was hoping for more case studies but he gets heavy into the ethics of surgery and the patient/doctor dynamic. It's one of those books that question protocol and why things are the way they are. Like...why do you need to ask this question? Is it going to do good or harm? Fascinating book all the same.
I was perusing my first food science textbook I bought freshmen year. The professor said it would be a good reference. And it cost me an arm and a leg so it had better. lol. The first chapter is about why you should major in food science, the job prospects, etc. I have to give you a quote because it is hilarious.
Q: Will food science students be immediately employable after completion of a B.S. degree?
A:"Yes. Most students have no difficulty obtaining employment throughout the food industry..."
HAHAHAHA. Clearly the book didn't take into account a changing jobless economy. Oh well. I'm starting on Marion Nestle's Food Politics and super stoked. Next entry I'll cover food industry consumer ethics and a common trend we will notice in today's packaging: reducing sodium. Laters!
