The co-op workshop is a part that only students from Zhejiang experience. We have two choices–be a chicken or work on the facility. Since I have no experience with either, I chose the facility workshop that seems appropriate for a boy. But I was wrong. This is a job that belongs to a true MAN.
The first week’ s workshop began with moving heavy boxes. The sentence that I heard repeatedly was ‘Move this there’ or ‘Move these (>=4) there’. With no doubt that after 4 hours
I could hardly raise my feet and hands.
The following week’s work is of great variety. From cleaning the shutters on windows (see the picture) to washing the stairs; from refurnishing the bathroom to fixing toilets; and so on. Every time a completely new task is there waiting for me.
What will be the next? I totally can’t tell what it will be except that it is full of mystery and might make me even more manly 2.5 months from now.
