Really open to any direction or ideas.
I started to chicken out about NOLA (it is far and scary) but then I realized
1- do it different
2 - I would regret not going so there you have it

I applied to John Besh who is grade a number one as chefs go - so I would learn a lot there which is what I want
The roommates are still partying like crazy and I am lacking in sleep! I had planned on going home this last weekend since it has been four months since I have been home - but it didn't work out. I did get to go to some friends graduation so that was fun and bittersweet all rolled into one. Meeting all these new friends at the CIA has been great! It is kind of amazing, you have a great thing in common a passion about FOOD.
What that also means is they are from across the country from Rhode Island to Georgia, Texas to Washington they are everywhere which I guess is also a blessing
