Oh boy, oh boy.
Life is good. I think. At least for now.
I just got back from camp, and I was mega-ready for the summer to end. Being in charge is hard work. I had fun, though. Honestly, the only problem I had all summer was getting the directors to realize that they were not my boss. I felt under-appreciated sometimes for all that I did outside the kitchen, but oh well. I had fun doing it. I now have a month and half or so of free time before school starts. I don't know what to do. I'm going to start going crazy without a job or something.
Right now, it's looking like I might be moving out sometime in October. I don't mind living with my parents, it's just that my house is falling apart. It's kind of a bitch to live in. I'm ready to live with some basic amenities like water pressure, a working washer, a heated room, a toilet that works consistently, and a wiring system that actually allows you to use a hair-dryer. Seriously, I have to jump through fire to use an electrical appliance. It'll be nice to live in the 21st century. Once Adam gets a job, we're gonna start looking at apartments. But, he's not gonna get a job until after we go on vacation. We're going to Gatlinburg later this month. It should be exciting. I hope it's pretty there.
September 17th, I start school here. I'm majoring in Pastry Arts. I'm really excited. Every time I read my course list, I get more and more pumped. Seriously. I get to take a class called 'Chocolate Artistry, Sugar Designs, Decorations & Architecture Design.' How cool is that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? And, since Adam doesn't like sweet things (what a weirdo) I'll have to pawn off all of my other 'homework' (AKA various confections) on someone else. So hit me up if you've got a sweet tooth, haha. My plan right now is to go to school and see what I'm best at, then go from there after graduation. Hopefully one day I'll be able to work out of my house (with a deluxe kitchen, of course) making wedding cakes in addition to being a housewife. We'll see how that one works out. But I can dream, right? Right.
I'm so excited that fall is almost here. I missed out on fall last year because I was in LA. Fall is definetly my favorite time of the year. It smells good. And all my favorite flavors are associated with fall. Like apple and pumpkin. Mmmm. I love the way the air is cool, but not cold. I really like it when it does that cold drizzle thing in the fall, too. For some reason it reminds me of my sophomore year of high school. And of course, fall means Halloween... haha.
Speaking of high school... it's still weird to me that I'm not in it anymore. I'm not complaining or anything, but it's just weird. Maybe once I start at The Chef's Academy, I'll feel different. But last year, I wasn't in Indiana when school started.... This year's weird though, because I see everyone getting ready and I'm not going. I just can't wait until I'm doing something gainful to my life. This summer, working at camp was just like delaying real life. So many people on camp staff just keep working there summer after summer because it's delaying real life. It's like... they don't know what else to do with their life so they keep going back. I don't want that to be me. I already know I can't work for Lutheran Outdoor Ministries next summer, because I'll be at school. But, I have a standing job offer for the next five years or so. They wanted me to come back, but I had to tell them no. I know I did a great job, but I want to stretch myself more than cooking camp food.
Well, I would say 'I'll keep ya posted' on what's going on with my life, but truthfully... I probably won't. I have to be in the right mood to actually sit down and write an entry. So... I guess I'll pretend my life is interesting enough to keep you wondering...
