After spending my Spring Break in a nice trip in Portland and Seattle, it is time to go back in the time and remember that the break started nicely, as I did my Service Learning at BUGS.
We met as usually, around 10 am in the morning and after talking about the compost and the plans for this semester we got started with the main task: move the compost from the huge pile to the garden. After two hours of hard work, we were done and I have to admit that it was fun, as we were talking to each other, with great humor and time went by quickly.
This reminds me of my lazyness back in the days. I didn't understand why did we have to work to get our food as we can buy it. Now, I can totally see my relatives' extravagant motivation. As Mike (our Spartan great boss) said 'If you work hard and happy here, the plants will grow much better'. I thought that was a hippy mentality but I will do my best, I really want to see BUGS full of colors and live.
