The last day of school

Today was the last day of my school-required internship. Well yesterday, technically. I've set up another internship that starts in a week with a bakery closer to my house. While I ended up enjoying my time at the required internship site, it wasn't focused on what I want to do. It was a specialty cake shop that didn't require me to use too many of my hard earned and expensively gained skills. I mostly dipped things in chocolate and helped customers. And helping customers is nothing new to me considering my several years of retail experience.....

My new internship site is a fully operational bakery. They make everything down to the croissants, which no one does due to the mass amount of time and energy they take. It kind of sucks that I'm choosing to do another stint of unpaid labor but I suppose the experience is almost as good as money. Most jobs I've looked for ask for at least one year of experience. How am I supposed to get experience if I can't get a job in this field? Hopefully with this internship I'll have about half a year of experience, which is better than none.

I want to find a job in the baking/patisserie field so bad. I am so tired of working retail. I am so tired of hating my job. At the cake shop, even when I really wanted to hit the owner or my back was starting to really ache, I still enjoyed my job. I enjoyed creating something I could be proud of. Of giving someone a great experience that would make them want to come back and buy from you again. And while that is an aspect that I enjoy within retail, it's not my product that's bringing people back. I don't do anything to create what I sell. I just convince people to buy stuff. Stuff they don't need and stuff I don't really care about.

Speaking of which..... Now is the time I turn off the computer so I can get some sleep in order to sell people stuff they don't need. I guess in all reality that sums up almost everyone's job. Well good night for now.
