this is it

well..

i made it

my first year of college is just about complete

a few more exams to go

but other than that

i'm done!

it's crazy to think back on the year

and even the year before that

living on my own

having a lot more responsibility

and just growing quite a bit

a lot has changed since the beginning of the year

going from knowing no one

to having a core group of amazing friends

going from knowing a very minimal amount of things about cooking

to being able to succeed in most things i make!

there were definite times of struggle

in wondering if this is really for me

and the thought is still in the back of my mind

but i'm very much looking forward to this summer

it'll get my toes wet in the industry

and see if my heart is actually into this

i know next year

is going to be another adventure all on it's own

living in a house with a bunch of guys

it will be a challenge

but they're all my good friends

so i'm not too worried about it

the work load will be a lot harder

but i know if i put myself to it

i will be able to succeed!

i ate the easter bunny

i have decided

i'm probably not going to continue with this much longer

i know it's probably a disappointment

but you're more than welcome to send me emails

and i will definitely reply to those!

as for what's be going on

there's been quite a bit

or so i think

i can't remember all that's gone on!

this past weekend was easter [obviously]

on friday i got together with a few of my friends

and we had a crazy seafood night

shrimp, scallops, lots of salmon and others

it was such a nice day that we spent the whole thing outside

barbecuing, throwing a football around

and just having an all around great day

tons of laughs and awesome talks

sunday we had our easter dinner

this is when you did a sinful thing

and ate the easter bunny!

which was actually super good

we marinated the hind legs in

orange juice and zest, olive oil,

thyme, sage and rosemary

and rubbed the excess of it on the core

which we also stuffed with a stuffing

this didn't turn out so well

but we learn from our mistakes!

as for school

it's getting down to the nitty gritty

only a couple more weeks until exams

which i'm really not looking forward to!

i will hopefully be exempt from at least one exam

maybe we can bump it up to two with a good test!

today i found out

that my exams go until april 30th

this means i won't be able to come home at all

i will move straight to my place in huntsville

to start work the next week

kinda sucks because there's no break at all

school straight to work

booerns

production is going very well

i'm really enjoying it

haven't had anything too difficult yet

hopefully it's not the last week

when we're not allowed to use our recipes!

pastry i still hate

too artsy fartsy and precise for me

i know for a fact i will not be doing it for a job!

i'm not too worried about my exam

as long as my genoise turns out good!
