well, it has been an interesting week...
my final was monday, along with the 5 page essay i had been dreading... don't know what i got on the final, but i got a b on the essay, so i'm pretty happy^^ we have since moving on the the science portion of the class; safety and sanitation
i don't think i will ever eat at a fast food restaurant again
we watched a video someone had made with a hidden camera, and i seriously think i have been traumatized for life... it was the scariest thing i have ever seen. i can't even describe it without gagging, so i will leave it up to your imagination.
but we also got to go into the kitchen for the first time on tuesday, so that was pretty fun^^ it was HUGE. the REFRIGERATOR was bigger than the ENTIRE KITCHEN i used to work in... so my teacher, naturally, shut us all in it ans turned the lights out. what else would he do? turns out your just punch the little glowing-in-the dark handle, and the door pops right open, but there were 12 of us in there, so we didn't know who was going to open it, so no one went for it for a few seconds... it was pretty funny^^ but mainly we learned how to wash dishes... we took turns hand washing and using the industrial machine... well, everyone else did; i just washed by hand since i got ALOT of practice with that machine were i used to work.
i was also given ANOTHER essay, this one EIGHT pages long xp i think our teacher hates us. i seriously hate writing... so i'm probably going to go to school tomorrow and get some research done... so much for seeing that movie i've been trying to see for about two months now...
well, in other news, my family's vacation is almost over, so i've only got a couple more days of the house being quite... which i think i'm looking forward to; i haven't been able to sleep, it's been so quite.
and i need another textbook; why are college classes so expensive ? gonk this book is going to set me back about $60... which is not fun when you don't have a job to pay for things... and no time for a job with an eight page research-intensive essay to write... i know alot of people manage that much and more, but i just can't seem to get the hang of it...
i've also discovered that nothing in a kitchen is called what your think it is; a strainer is actuall a colander, and there are tons of different types, all with different names... it's not a bunt pan, it some freaky term that stars with a k that i am never going to remember... and the mandolin is seriously the scariest peice of equipment i have ever seen; don't be fooled by it's innocent looks, it's probably the sharpest blade in the entire kitchen. and i never want to have to wash another ricer again; i had to wash it FOUR times to get all the mashed potatoes out...
i was kind of hoping by this point waking up at 6 in the morning would be a little easier... it's not. it's still waaaaay too early to be conscious, i would much rather be in bed still waiting for my alarm to go off in a couple of hours, but instead, i'm getting up, ironing, getting dressed, and riding to work... even in the middle of summer, 7 am is COLD when your going 50 mph on a bike... i've taken to wearing a real jacket, not my perforated summer jacket, and just dealing with how hot it is later in the day; it's just too freakin' cold that early in the morning.
well, i think that's all i have to grip about today... i'm sure i'll have more to do and say next week after a few more days to class; monday we get to learn about fire extinguishers... yay... we're doing something else too, but i can't remember what... oh well^^ i'll find out when i get there^^ for now...
be seein' ya!
