Re <<doing on the farm?>> The Coconut is learning about every aspect of the operation of the farm, together w/ her cohort of 7 others presumably diversity-infused from around the USA / planet, covering planting & nurturing operations, disease control, harvesting, logistics, sales, and marketing, as well as finance, ledger accounting, economics - it is a 'simple' flower farm as opposed to one involving animal husbandry, and presumably the knowledge can be applied to, say, a high cash-flow hemp farm in legalised locales, and for that matter any farm. There are 20 related courses per semester, and all leading to sustainable food perfection / solution set. I remember have this friend in Israel who knows a lot about sustainable food and does good research :0) iow, she is learning something useful, enjoys, and let's see if she is any good at it. I do not get it when folks make fun of college kids learning about bee-keeping and such. Imagine the contortions one has to go through to educate the next generation topic by topic on own by internship. I suppose I could have sent the coconut to friend in Thailand / China / USA and embed her on a farm for a season, but that would crimp a lot of time from other activities, like writing, and dancing, choreography, and production, etc etc etc, and the learning process is polluted by distractions that might not all be helpful. I HAVE NO IDEA (NOT A CLUE; as in TOTAL ABSOLUTE SURPRISE) how the coconut got the idea of taking the course but am very happy that she is. I hope she keeps at it over the coming 7 semesters. If she can bring sustainable indoor / outdoor farming back to urbanised Hong Kong, would be super duper fantabulous. My wife tells me that the nut has her own ideas about what she wants to do, why, and how. In the meantime she is hanging out with groups of good young people, the best thing. One of her dorm mate is a super athlete and very disciplined about food, sleep and exercise, another very international. The other three just as good. The sorting 'hat' was likely not as random as the University claimed, or the Uni is simply packed with good kids (suspect the latter). One of the nut's best friend, a girl of 16, just won coding competition against teams from MIT and Berkeley (I believe). The young girl was accepted into Tsinghua University in China at age 15. Other kids are already-Champion medalist of Olympics, and some budding movie directors. One son of my wife's friend's friend at the school was the Olympiad world champion for math, physics and chemistry, if I understood correctly. Coconut is also learning about war and peace, and human development, etc etc etc. A lot of the Coconut's friends are STEM students; as the nut knows enough to keep up, but as far as writing is concerned, the nut seems to stand out, so far, by teachers' comments. All very 'noice', as the Jack says. Etc Etc to the next-level :0)
