So the last few days have been difficult! My practical did not go so well in fact I didn't not finish in the time allowed.
I then thought I had become the new President of the Ale Club and now I have heard that some other Faculty member said yes to some other students so I do not know now. Maybe it is a sign? I am doing to much again?
A good friend came in to town this weekend which was a great distraction - we even after I received some odd news - went out to the Martini House. It was great! I did not think that the service was all that great for the reputation it has but the food was outstanding! Easily considered Disneyland for students at the CIA. A new class starts on Monday Sugar Art - so that should be fun. As far as the last class will I have to repeat it? I do not know at this time.

So much time has gone by since I have last been here ...
Well, I have left the bread job for a teaching assistant job much better hours, less pay but well worth it - so now I am trying to get used to sleeping during the night. No more vampire hours for me!
My Mid term costing exam was yesterday and I did great - of course after much anxiety! I even dreamed about it - I hate math!

And then today I just took my written final in my Cookies Tarts and Mignardise as well as in Individual Pastries - it was hard! The teacher did all of these fill in and essay questions yuk!

I had all of these plans to write something witty and cute but my brain has forgotten and is mush now! All I can think about is what classification is a Paris Brest? I am sure not yucky like I had written as my answer on the test ...hopefully he at least laughs.

Tomorrow is my practical I have three hours to make Napoleons, bavarian cream and Bartlett Tarts soo much fun - I can't stand it!

Next week for 1 week we get to work with sugar and do sugar art - I guess it is suppose to be like blowing glass but no blowing involved? Then on to wedding cakes.

I have been searching for externs to do I am thinking the south to possibly New Orleans and then just as the snow has melted go east to NY and maybe Amy's Bread and then end up back in this area around the bay somewhere - or maybe take a tropical detour.....
