(no subject)
I finished reading The Hot Zone today. It was horrifying and disgusting and so many other adjectives involving me feeling sick to my stomach. However, it was also kind of enthralling and really hard to put down, and I finished it in less than two days. Surprisingly, the book didn't give me the nightmares last night that I had anticipated. Maybe they'll come tonight, but I can only hope not. Nightmares have the tendency to haunt me for a long time.
Anyway, that leaves four books left for me to read by Tuesday. Hooray!
Going to open house at school yesterday was weird. It seemed like no time has passed since I've walked up and down in those hallways, and I realized that everything and nothing has happened this summer. That sounds really gay. Whatever. I still need a job. I applied at Baker's Pride and they never called me back. I went to Two Smart Cookies and they aren't hiring. The thing is, I'm applying to the Culinary Institute of America this fall, and to get in (not to apply or be accepted, but by the time you actually go) you need at least six months of experience in an environment where at least 50% of the food is made on-site. Since I want to go into pastry I figured working at a bakery would be the perfect experience but bakeries are limited and don't want me.
On a related note, I'm starting a small dessert business-y thing. Basically I want to sell cakes/cookies/doughnuts/whatever for people's occasions. Check out thesugarpixie. There's not much on it now, but it'll be updated with more information soon.
