I know I haven't done an update in a while.
In looking at all my "Friends" LJ's I've realized I should post on here what I posted onto my my myspace. It's a basic generic-ish update on how things have been with D as of late ofcourse excluding all the negativity I've wanted to write. Gotta admit I'm warming up to myspace a little more because I found my eldest brother Zach on it and it gives a small look into the lives of people I can't touch anymore. It's a good thing and at the same time it makes me very sad because I've found myself missing those people a lot lately. Anyhow enjoy!
Hey all.
Thought I'd let you know how things have been to those of you I'm not in constant contact with or don't read my LJ or have access to it.
It's Monday and I'm currently at work-study. This is the last week I'll be able to work since school is officially over for the quarter on Tuesday or Wednesday I believe. I'm very much looking forward to spring break since I will be somewhere else for a change and get some time to relax and hopefully hook up with my girl "Cold Piece!"
This quarter has been much better then the last considering I finally started the Culinary Arts program and got to see family and friends over Christmas break. Not sure how I did academically yet but I'm sure I did okay enough to move on to the 2nd part of the program which means being in the kitchen with Chef Smith for about 4 or 5 hours each day.
I anticipate April to be a fun/crazy month on account of the fact that's when my birthday is and the SkillsUSA State competition. I imagine if everything works out I'll be going to state un-contested, which means I by default go to nationals again but this time as a competitor. Chef Fisher wants to work with me to prepare me for the competitions and I really look forward to that since it'll give me time to get to know him and get in his good graces before I have him as a teacher as well as get some pointers from a Certified Executive Chef. Before state though, I'll be helping out with the ACF conference which will be here earlier in the same week. (ACF means American Culinary Federation btw for those of you who don't know). I anticipate that to be very exciting and plan to cheer on some of my fellow students who will be competing during that conference. The sucky thing about April is that I'll be spending my birthday AT the state competition which is in Vancouver WA, which is where none of my friends will be *sigh*. If I play my cards right I'll be doing an internship at a resort in Southern Cali for the summer after I get back from nationals.
Anyhow that's pretty much what's been up with me. It's been hard at times and very good at times since deciding to stay here instead of moving to the coast with my ex. I do enjoy Washington but know this is not the place I want to call "home". Also wanted to let some of you know that I miss you very much and hope to see some of you again. I regret not being able to see those of you I could have when I was in Cali and hope we can get together next time I'm down there. Though I hate myspace for certain reasons I'm semi glad for it because I can see what's going on with some of you and in turn tell you how things have been with me.
So take care my friends and know that you have not been forgotten.
