Service: 2 hours.
The Cal Poly Rose Float Decoration was another event provided by our school's BioClub. Our intent upon arrival was to help decorate Cal Poly's Rose Float entry the entire day. As a result of many complications, however, we ended up helping the crew by doing prep. work. This, essentially, included cutting up flowers to prepare them to be used for decorating and cleaning the work area. I have to admit that the work was very tedious and I pricked my fingers more than once; however, it was greatly relaxing and strangely therapeutic. As we cut up flowers and pricked our fingers, we talked to each other about school and the ongoings of our lives. Our club adviser even participated! Despite the fact that I didn't normally interact with many of the senior members of the club, we all began to bond over service. The work was tedious and, oftentimes, painful, but we were able to pull through it and help out the Cal Poly crew in putting together their magnificent entry.
