(no subject)
Alright, so yesterday was a crack whore day. That's my new phrase for a really bad day. But anyways, today was so much better. I made some chocolate fans first try, no big deal. It wasn't bad. Made some petals for chocolate flowers and assembled my base for my chocolate chef. The base actually came out really cool. I thought it would look hideous beyond all reason but it was awesome. It's green and blue marbled with dark and white chocolate. And it got some fat bloom on it which made it look cool and also made some of it stay in the mold so there were a couple pieces that were a layer off from the rest. But it was awesome. I painted it with some white chocolate and then with some bronze coloured cocoa butter and it ended up with this really rustic old flower pot look to it. Or trash can, depending on how you look at it. Very cool. Not what I was going for in the beginning but totally acceptable.
PT was canceled yesterday so I'll have my first appt tomorrow. Man, that was an adventure to find. At least now I know how to get there. I'm off one of my meds and substituting it with regular old ibuprofen. Still getting better but I guess I'm getting there.
Exhausted beyond all reason. I'm so excited I don't have to get up at 5am tomorrow morning. I can sleep in til like 8 or something. How exciting is that?!?!?!?!?! Then PT and a meeting for the Campus Herald. I don't understand how the editor got to be the editor. His grammar is not good and his spelling leaves something to be desired. I actually edited the entire newspaper by myself last week. Goodness gracious. At least I feel as though I am very much earning the B&N gift card I'll get. :) Sometimes I wish I could get a job as the editor of a newspaper or magazine. I love correcting people when it comes to grammar and how they word things. It's fun. I guess there's always Chocolatier or Pastry Art and Design. Then at least I'd be staying in my major to a degree. Hmmm, something to ponder I guess. But I still want to do cakes. :) Haha.
I applied to an apartment in NYC today. It's housing for single women and it's in an amazing location. I really hope I get a room there. It's flipping expensive but the pros outweigh the cons and one of my friends is also going to be in NYC for her internship (at Food Network) and that's where she's living so it'll be nice to know someone in the city and live in the same building. It's finally starting to actually hit me that I'm going to be living in NYC. It's scary and exciting and I'm nervous out of my mind. But it's so awesome that I'm going to be helping to make cakes that people will pay crazy money for. Holy cow, I'm going to be working for Colette Peters.
13 days left of chocolates.
