I don't know why I keep this anymore
I have a real journal that I keep on lock-down all the time, updated. So I never forget what I'm doing or what've done. And I don't even write shit in here anymore. Well here's an update...if you even care anymore:
I'm still working at Can-Can in Richmond, seriously one of the best things that's ever happened to me because its opened so many doors and for a 19 year old I'm making bank, and have started a career. I have moved up 2 stations since I've already been there and am currently training to one day become the head-chef. Thats really exciting. One of the best kicks I get out of working there is the fact that the most wealthy people eat in CaryTown/Richmond eat at my resturant and we've broken are all time record and have set new goals. I get really excited when I talk about my job because its so amazing and I've learned so many things its kind of astonishing. Especially since I remember everything and have now a portfolio of recipes that I can make. Various salad dressings (such as blackberry vingarette), pastries, fritters (lobster/crawfish), tons of orderves, goat cheese, gougere, creme brulee, rasberry soufee, candied almonds, marinated olives, fondue, chicken confit, chicken palliard, goat cheese quenelles, green olive tapanade, black olive tapanade, etc. are just the start of what I can make. I'm really proud of my job and thats the one thing that will be solid for a long while.
I'm looking for a new place to live in Richmond, preferably by myself because of the reliablitly issues people always have when it comes to taking responiblity of living on their own. I've definitely had to master it living here in Richmond, soooo yeah. I'd like to live in a studio apt or at least some nice one thats got a funky side to it. And god, one thats affordable!
Other than all that, nothing really has been going on thats that important to talk about. Just been staying busy, working more than I sleep. Spending some time in nova seeing molly and smiley since they both live back up there. everything really has been just up in the air and spontanious. I've been trying to grasp some system of my weeks, but everything keeps constantly changing. Summer is finally coming and school is out, I'm excited about new places to see and new things to experience this time around. Hopefully everything will just stay positive, at least I will try too even though April and May are always the worst months out of the year for me. June though, July as well, and August will be a whole new light.
much love,
