seths trip

so here a summary of what seth was doing in california. the basic purpose of this trip was to show the students of byu idaho the horticulture industry and to kiss big company butt (sorry mom). so they started in northern california and ended in joshua tree national park. they went basically everywhere in between... up at 6, at a new hotel every night after 10. seth was one of two people who actually brought a resume (which i don't understand) and he handed it out at over a dozen nurseries and large companies. he really liked 3 companies and could see himself starting at any of the three after school. he had one especially cool experience in san diego at a very large company. he was sitting at a table eating his lunch with his professor and a man came up and starting asking him a ton of questions about his experience and internships... he was really hitting him hard.. come to find out this man is the C O O ( cheif operating officer... basically a ceo) seth being the person he is felt free to ask hard questions back. the C O O responded by asking seth how long he had been in the industry because he seemed to have such a good understanding of the industry... always a good thing to have a guy so high up impressed... he actually told seth to make sure he gave the HR manager his resume. this C O O doesn't usually give tours of the company but sought out BYU-I and asked them to come. This gives us great hope and i wouldn't mind living in SD. besides going to businesses they went to museums, the jelly belly factory, hollywood, vegas and the beach at least a dozen times... they also ate out at a million different restaurants (this professor is so much like seth and loves to explore). he came back exhausted but knowing what he wants to do and with a good outlook of our future. oh btw after the reunion this summer we are moving to phoenix for 5-6 weeks so seth can have a second internship during a 7 week school break. we will be living with a friend of seth's and his wife.. another adventure.
