Week 2

A golf club member came into the shop on Tuesday to check in for his tee time and asked, “Are you Korean?” I said “Yeah!” Cheerfully, he responded, “Wow! Me too!” and then introduced me to his four year old (my best age estimate) daughter. She was very cute, and we had a short exchange in Korean. Although I’m not a fluent speaker, I can understand the language, because my parents use it at home. Another time, a woman came in and used Korean with me at the counter, because it was more comfortable for her than English. It's a good feeling to know that the Duolingo I’ve been practicing during the pandemic hasn’t gone to waste and that it is even allowing me to connect with a few golf club members. 

On Monday, I got to learn about accounting and golf data input from the past year. Reflecting on my goals from last week, I’ve gotten to see the Reserve Vintage Room restaurant open for the first time in over a year and observed how the decrease in mandates has impacted people's attitudes toward mask-wearing and eating out. I’m looking forward to continuing my senior project and learning about the food and beverage department next week.

I forgot to visually document this week, so I asked my mom to quickly take this photo of me after work today.
