This Wednesday I got to drive my family to the airport , on our way to go visit my brother, Pierre, in Spokane Washington. He is going to Gonzaga University.
Spokane is cold; really cold. It's surrounded by mountains and it's cloudy most of the time. Right around the college the town is slow; it looks like it's diluted, not much goes on besides college party's and class. But just outside of the college campus about 5 minutes, there's a small city that's relatively busy, as cities go. I love the cold weather, but the town isn't really somewhere I would choose to hang out... or go to college.
My sister Ruby and I went to the admissions office and took a tour of the school with my mom and dad. After the tour we had a meeting with the admissions counselor about the school, our past academic lives, and our possible future academic lives. I asked about their nursing programs and what options they offered around studying abroad. They have a lot of partnering schools worldwide and their travel abroad program isn't hard at all to get into. They have a rather traditional nursing program with general biology and physical biology. There was really nothing to write home about. The campus is beautiful.
Another attraction to the school would be hanging out with my brother; even still he would be a senior as I was a freshman, so that aspect didn't really add any juice to the jar. I have been looking at naturopathic medicine colleges around the country. I've found some schools up north but I haven't found one that really jumps out. I also have 2 more years....
My dad just drove us up to a food manufacturing and packaging warehouse called BumbleBee. He had met the founder a few years ago at a food expo in L.A.. They are producing MASS amounts of food, mostly cookies and bars. They had machines that separate the dough and shape the dough. They have scales that weigh out certain amounts of cookies into bags. There were machines that seal the bags. It was all happening in that warehouse. It was huge inside, lots of different rooms with different systems playing out. The entire warehouse smelled strongly of peanut butter and honey.
Owning a business is crazy and can be beautiful; it's seems hard, but it can be rewarding. I liked seeing it all in a action; it gave me a sense of what someone could be doing with a business.
We are at the house now ( the one we're staying at). On Airbnb it was called the "Benny and Joon" house; it was the house Benny and Joon was filmed in.
Now i'm off to a concert with my brother tonight, see who he parties with :) and who's company he enjoys.
