I came to the conclusion this morning that no matter what I do, I'll probably never be any different that who I am right now, and who I've been all my life, and that until I accept it as inevitable, I'll probably never truly be happy, just meandering through life wondering why I'm not as cool or as popular or as attractive as anybody else. So why ( Read more... )

And the results are in: 92 on my wines final, which makes my final grade for the class a B+. Is it wierd that I'm pissed I didn't get an A?

I love how I feel the need to spend time updating about how I can't be procrastinating, but I've got to study my ass off for the next three days because I found out yesterday that there's a chance that if I pull off an A in this class, then some wine company will pay for me to go on a trip to Italy!! Here's hoping that my ADD doesn't take over...

Wow, action-packed weekend this weekend, which comes as a bit of a shock. Friday, it was so windy after class that in a brilliant fit of ADD Monika and myself went out and bought a Spiderman kite and flew it around the lodges until it got eaten by a tree, then a couple of us went to this huge discount liquor store and became wine nerds for about an ( Read more... )

I'm not talking one of those CIA parties where 9 people get together in a room and drink while watching a movie and occasionally go outside to smoke, I'm talking a serious party.

Our professor is really funny and interesting, and among one of the many different things that I learned today, he taught us about how basically all of the grape vines in the world have American rootstocks grafted onto the bottoms of them to protect them from this ( Read more... )

So today I made an awesome rabbit stew in class. I mean, I really thought that me and my partner Nick did an amazing job on it. We sold two fucking plates... (For people who don't go here, at lunch time, students from all over the school who don't have their own kitchens to eat out of, like baking and pastry students, just show up at a production ( Read more... )

Long time no update, huh? Not that much has really been going on in the last week or so, so there really hasn't been any reason for me to. Things are ok though, I'm still in my Cuisines of the Mediterranean class, which has been pretty cool, save for the ridiculous amounts of time spent doing absolutely nothing, which is really boring. The meals ( Read more... )

Simple update time: Things are well, waking up at 5:30-6:00 in the morning blows, but I'll deal. I'm a fucking wizard at coming up with sandwiches and soups off the fly, like the foot and a half long oven toasted grinder of doom that we had last week, the duck soup that I made for dinner last night, or today's latest foodgasm: peanut butter and ( Read more... )
