Practicum - Day 11 (Final Day)

Today was my last day working at the Georgia Center so I really wanted to make the most of it. I went in a little early so I could be there during peak hours. During this time, I helped with making drinks and any other tasks they assigned. I made yogurt parfaits completely by myself. I even chopped the strawberries for them! I also made a drink (for myself) with no help and it was incredibly delicious! There were moments when working at Georgia Java was actually fun. I will definitely missed the people I have worked with but I'm not entirely certain I will miss the actual work. Good-bye, Georgia Center.

Today's completed hours: 5
Hours left to complete: 0 (!!!)

Practicum - Day 10

Today was my first day working with food and beverages. I worked at Georgia Java. As with all first days, I went through a mini orientation to become familiar with all of the equipment. And, like every other department, I was told that I wouldn't be working at the computer (cash register) because it was unnecessary to train me. There were many periods of down time so during those times we discussed how to make different drinks, different food inspections and regulations, and all things coffee. There wasn't much I could do so I helped out in every way possible.

Today's completed hours: 4
Hours left to complete: 5
