(no subject)
holy moly...a gazillion years since i updated in this ol thing. but it felt so fabulous to read all my past accounts of college and the little things i have already forgotten that I'm going to write again so that I can read in another couple years and love life all over again. whoaho
since my last post...
I have graduated and left freddy...the feeling was comparable to someone ripping one of my limbs off...i missed (and miss it still) so much. i will never forget how caiter and i kept putting off driving away after wed packed up our cars and our house--we carved everyones name in a tree out behind the apt. haha. so sad. however, there was nothing that could have changed about leaving- it was inevitable-and we do our best to move on and make new memories i suppose. :)
so the summer after leaving school was horrible and funny and ridiculous all at the same time. a certain someone and i were no longer together and that ripped me apart again...totally blindsighted. but at the same time i was working at the ho (sta-geh) with good 'ol ed and he helped me to wash/drink away the sorrow like a good boss. there was one particular night in which i had challenged him to a drink for drink situation (horrrrrrrrrible idea--fyi never challenge anyone that has been working professionally in a kitchen to this--im not sure any one of them even have livers) and ended up barfing all over the bathroom...in olean ny for chrissakes. bonnie had to come get me and i got shit from ed the whole rest of the summer for being a giant barfballs. sooo when i wasnt working i spent time going to see people so that i wasnt holed up on the hill for eternity. cait and i went to new york a couple times, one of them being her job interview that she got and worked at for a year...before she went to thailand..haha jeez it has been a while. andd my mom pretty much threatened to send me to rehab after that summer being absolutely convinced that i had a drinking problem...ridiculous
and thennnn i moved to prov ri! i look back on last year now and praise jesus that its over with, however i am so glad i went because i learned so much. a necessary unpleasantry. for a year. i attended jwu for an associates in baking and pastry and took all sorts of classes like bread baking, cake decorating, chocolate lab, etc. i also had to take dumb things like sanitation and food cost blah blah blah. i ended up taking the boring classes my first tri and had soo much free time on my hands with no friends no life i was ready to pack it all in and quit. then i started my second tri and labs and met stefano maurellio, an angel --finally someone who drank and partyed and went out--finally i felt like myself again. hahah. so we would drink and talk about how much older i was than the rest of the class (who were 4 years younger so it was like partying with bonnie and her friends everytime i went out) and i would try to impart my ageless wisdom on him about enjoying college while he was still in it etc etc. its safe to say that if stefano hadn't appeared in my life that first day in classical french pastry, i wouldve moved back to wny and stayed there forever, probably working at the ho for the rest of my life. so thanks god for stefano :) ahaha if only he could read this id never live it down...thats stefano there not god....ummm
sooooo part of my requirement for finishing my program and getting my diploma was to partake in an internship where i had to work in my field for about three months. technically i could go anywhere and do it it just had to be approved by the school. so amongst all the cities in all the states in the us i chose dc. why you ask? because maggie was doing the exact same thing there that summer and we thought it would be fun to be together again post college. turned out that i didnt see much of maggie last summer. actually maybe on one hand i can count the times i saw her...but i ended up loving the place i was working and loving the people i worked with and generally liking dc minus the retarded traffic and the place i was living.
yikes im getting really burntout from this reminiscing...this might have to be a to be continued situation. i also might have gotten a little too carried away with details...sooo unlike me ;)
