So here's how it happened. Last Christmas I forced my family to watch episodes Jamie Oliver's Christmas special for like 5 hours (and the Juniors) and with that I kept saying, I really should just quit school and cook. Last April after midterms and my psych class driving me psychotic I decided to apply for Culinary Arts at NSCC. I was told I would be on a 4 year wait list. I then had to decide what to do until I was accepted, and I couldn't figure it out. The Monday of camp I was making my bed and recived a call from my dad, he told me NSCC had called and I was accepted into the program starting the next Wednesday. I liked Acadia, I love history and politics and all of that but, overall my university experience kind of sucked. I hated getting up early to hike to my English class and taking German and Psych. Now I have class everyday at 8:30 and I don't dread getting out of bed. ( I still love to sleep and goodness at 6:51 in the morning flannel is the best feeling in the world but...) I have 2 teachers's who know exactly who I am. (okay, so occasionally one of them can't remember my name and calls me Mademoiselle) I don't have to write my student ID number on anything, ever.
I am now 3 months into the program and I adore it. Of course it stresses me out to no end, but it's a different kind of stress, almost a nice kind of stress. And I'm saying this after a week of scrubbing dishes every day.
It's crazy that this time last year I was trying to drill the parts of the brain and their function and millions of German words into my head and this year I have to know different types of soup and the 5 mother sauces.
Does this justify a 2 month hiatus?
No?
I have been spending a lot of time listening to Jay and Dan while I study.

Christmas music started a month ago with me, but this week marked the official start of it.
I would set up my Christmas tree but we're moving in 18 or so days. I think I'll be able to survive.
