Reminiscing about The Watermelons

I still feel like the break was short, but I'm sure everybody does. The week of turkey day was quite relaxing, not doing much homework was refreshing. All my classes can sometimes be overwhelming, but when I look back at my Summer job at the watermelons, it put things back into perspective. I would rather be in my comfy room than in the scorching heat waking up at 4:30am to go to work for some many hours. One week at the watermelons we worked a total 80 hours! Talk about a big paycheck! But extremely exhausting mentally and physically. Starting at 5:30am and finishing at 9:00pm was the latest we got out at work, I will never forget that because the next day I still had to get up at 4:30am the next day! That didn't include the time to get home, shower, eat, and then finally sleep. I slept like a baby that day because all my body was drained of every calorie I had in me. My current workload is nothing compared to the watermelon days, even just thinking about it makes me want to write a blog post about it. I would rather read hundreds of books and do everyone's least favorite, blogs, than be at the watermelons. It's kind of a hate and love job, the pay is good, but there is a catch, lots of hours and being sore everyday with just one day off. It's like doing P90X on steroids, but at least I can say that I get paid to workout. Every time I see a watermelon, I say to myself,"A lot of hard work went into picking those babies, people better not be wasting watermelon."
