Right now I'm writing in this blog because I'm avoiding a 6-8 page paper I'm supposed to write. I have major senioritis and my motivation is in the negatives. I really hope that if I take a break and work for a year or so before grad school I don't just say, "man I love not having to ever think about homework, I should never go back to school" because that would be something I'd totally do.
Okay let's see. Something I think in theory I'd like to do some day is own a bakery/flower shop. Two of my favorite things all rolled into one. I think going to pastry school would be amazing (and expensive). I took an intro to business class at NAU and swore I'd never own a business in my life after it. But you can hire people to do the boring math parts, right? Cool. So my bakery would include yummy pastries and breads made from scratch. Interesting flavor profiles, too. Not sure what they'd be yet, but interesting and chic. I would also sell baking supplies. So like flour from a local mill, stuff like that. We would also serve coffee and tea, also local. We'd have a few tables inside and out as well. The flower shop would sell individual flowers so you could make your own bouquet or we could design them for you. The whole place would smell delicious all the time. The decor would be clean and simple. Pastel colors with white so the flowers would pop. I think about this place when I'd rather not think about what I'm supposed to be, i.e., homework. I see this happening once I'm retired. I'm hoping I can retire when my mom did (early 50s). I'd open this little place up and spend my days baking and arranging flowers. What more could I ask for? Oh, I know, someone to do all the accounting and cleaning :)
For now, I'll continue with homework and leave that little dream for many years down the line.
Hi Natalie, your thinking is soooo interesting! I am right now in a grad school and homework never ends. :(
ReplyDeleteI like your random thinking about bakery business! Sound so lovely. I hope your dream can come true one day!
