As for the new Kitchen class (Soups, stocks, sauces), it's much higher tempo, much more demanding, and the Chef is going to bust your balls if you're screwing up. I'm OK with that, if only because that's a bit more like the real world, but the pressure is higher. As hard as it can be to be on your toes at 6:30am, it's going to be a necessity. We're busy from start to finish, multi-tasking like crazy and we have more personal responsibility-- whew. Crazy change of pace.
The new class (Math) may be the biggest waste of time in my academic career. Tasks thus far have included simple addition/subtraction...balancing a checkbook, rounding decimals to different places, and naming places in a number (5,022...what place is the five? THE THOUSANDS PLACE! DUH! ARGH!). Seriously, this is college. I know Math can be difficult (I'm not great at it or anything), but good lord really!?What makes the Math class worse is that apparently there was a chance to test out of it...a chance that was never brought to my attention otherwise I would have pursued it in a heartbeat. I guess I will just have to tell myself this class will be an easy 'A and balance my GPA with however I do in Kitchen. Who knows, it could be a blessing...
Either way I'm done with classes by 11am every day. Homework is either nonexistent or very low maintenance. I'm starting to feel the itch of waaay too much free time. Coupled with the crappy events of this past weekend (I am single-- nothing else/fun to say about that), and I'm finding myself thinking too much and far from busy enough.
Sigh...seven more months until the externship. Graduation is a little less than a year. Time is passing so quickly, but slowly...if that makes any sense.
It might be time to go after a job...
