Senior Project Final Day

Today was my final day working on the maintenance crew at the Country Club at Saint Albans, and my final day of work for my senior project. Today they had me pick up the tees on the driving range to get them out of the way for the mower. After that they had me do the water and trash for both courses, and after lunch I weed whacked a bunch of the creeks. This job was a great experience for me and I actually really enjoyed it. Getting up at 5:30 everyday wasn’t my favorite part, but the work itself was actually really enjoyable. I feel like I learned a lot about how they keep the course in playable condition and how much planning and effort it takes to make sure everything that needs to happen gets done. The jobs that I was doing there actually felt like they mattered because they did. The things I was doing at the cabinetry place were cool and interesting and might have helped a little bit, but at the club I felt like I was actually helping and doing something that needed to be done, which made it really fun but also rewarding. I also really liked getting to work outdoors and not be looking at a computer or stuck inside all day. I actually liked it so much that I might go work there as a summer job. I’m really glad that I was able to work there and hope that I can go back.
