It's Been Awhile
Ha. Y'know how I basically swore off candy all the way back in February? I changed my mind. I do that a lot. Part of it (okay, a lot of it) is due to the exhibition/demonstration my culinary class put on two weeks ago. I made peanut butter cups for it, and it was actually a lot of fun. I did pretty much everything from scratch, including the peanut butter, and it went over really well. There were maybe 50 people (actually, probably more than that but I wasn't counting every single person I saw) who attended, I made probably about seventy-ish and only took home five. I mean, okay, it's candy and damn near everybody likes candy but still! It's the first time I've actually seen people eating what I made (my family totally doesn't count) so it kinda hammered it home that it's not little fairies whisking away the food I've been making or whatever stupid thing my brain came up with. Actual people are voluntarily consuming the food I've been creating.
I've been giving some thought to applying to culinary school in the future. I know some people say it's not worth it, it's a waste of money with little guarantee of making livable wages, but I've loved the culinary practical portions of my degree/certificate in Food Service Management and think it would be pretty damn awesome to go to one of the big schools. I just don't know though. I'm largely self-taught and tuition is so expensive. I guess I could look into a scholarship or something, but I'd prefer to avoid student loans if I can help it.
I'm kinda sad I'm just about finished with my certificate. I've got two more classes and then I'm off to pursue a business degree. That promises to be lethal. I have to take two econ classes and Mum says econ is a killer. Good news is it shouldn't take more than two years, maybe less if I really go hard. I've got about 20 credits of 90 completed, another five after this quarter ends, and another five this summer. So that's 30 down, 60 to go. Theoretically.
