I started culinary school eight days ago.
I love it.
SURPRISE!
haha, yeah, I definitely feel like I belong here. The Academy, like most culinary schools, offers bakery/pastry or "hot side" (culinary arts). Both programs are fantastic, but it's separate tuition so I had to pick just one. I decided to go hot side. Boyperson picked me up some MTC-style flashcards from the BYU bookstore, and I hit the ground running. (I know that me being enthusiastic about something is hard to imagine. Try really hard.) I actually got pretty far ahead of where my adviser expected I would be; she seemed kind of surprised at my action-oriented enthusiasm. All-the-things culminated in me getting a call from the main office today. They expressed their surprise at my progress, and offered me a deal: I could go ahead and join the bakery classes, as well, for significantly reduced tuition because I was dual-enrolled. The basics classes would count for both, so I wouldn't have to take them twice.
<.< . . . >.>
.....so, my afternoon plans got cancelled. I finished my first bakery chapter today.
My life. Is SO. AWESOME.
...I may have to pace the bakery along with culinary. Bakery is not my passion. But I am stoked for the training. And I have friends who are stoked about the idea of my kitchen filling up with sweets. ;-)
I love it.
