well, so much for keeping a consistant log... oh well. here we go!
my first quarter is finally over, and i got my grades back; 2 A's and a B! not bad at all^^ considering we have been warned from here on out it is almost impossible to get an A, i'm really happy with my grades. heart
i'm currently only in 2 classes, but because of scheduling conflicts on the teachers end, one of them only meets once a week for 12 hours a day. no, that is not a typo. I stand in one class. for 12 hours. every week. my feet will hate me. the other class isn't too bad though; it's only a 5 hours class, and involves alot more moving around and sitting versus standing in one place... but they're both really fun, so i'm not complaining^^ (much...) xp
we do have more homework this time around, which i am currently procrastinating to type this entry, but i have 4 free days a week, so i have no trouble getting it done. i did have to go shopping though; one of my assigments is to practice the basic knife cuts, so i went out and bought a big bag of potatoes and a big bag of carrots to chop up as needed^^
i went to the farmers market today and discovered a guy who sets of a knife sharpening booth right there in the square. i'm definately going back next week with some of my older knives, especially my pairing... i've had it for over a year and it's never been sharpened; that makes the tourne cut extremely difficult... unless i can have chef help me sharpen it myself in class on monday. i'll ask him during one of the breaks.
i also get to work with the marmetons (sp?) again! it's a club that meets at our school who recruits some students to help out; it's really fun and i get paid to do it, so there is no complaining from me on this count!
i was also just put on my parents car insurance, so they have taken to sending me out late at night for things like milk and my brothers last-minute school supplies... stare but i also get to use is when i'm trying to go to school at 6:30 in the morning and i really don't want to ride my bike when it is 40-something degrees. and the knife kit is a major pain in the butt on my bike... it bounces around alot.
well, i just had a conversation with my dad and lost my train of thought, so i'll go ahead and end it here... i'll try to be a little more consistant in when i make a journal entry^^ not that anybody reads them... lol
