First Day of Many

Actual Date: Wednesday August 24
Time: 12:41 AM

I actually wanted to start this blog Monday (22nd) but i never got around to doing it. So i'm going to blog about today. Well i still consider today: Tuesday!

Waking up early in the morning isn't an easy task for me. I currently have 24 Alarms on my Android, Iphone and Alarm clock just to wake me up. From clocks starting at 4:45 to 6:00 AM. I have Class at 7 so ideally i would love to be up by 5:30. Gives me time to get ready and facebook? I ended up waking up at 5:45. Not to bad, showered, got ready and headed to school.

Currently i'm in my last semester of school and am pretty excited. I have an 8 week class, a class that meets only on mondays and an online class. The real shitty part is that i just realized about my online class and i have homework due this weekend. Bleh. Baking Class is fun yet extremely boring and tiring. WE often go into side stories and it just gets way to long. I started to fall asleep in my class, that was unfortunate. We made Baguettes, and they were pretty damn good. Bonus points i guess?! Getting out of class earlier is even more bonus points!

Next on the AGenda was lunch, sushi ichiban, udon. Finish.
And now comes probably the most important thing so far this year, me starting a new job. Getting my foot into fine dining and learning exactly what i'm getting myself into. I'm officially a Pantry cook at 3660 on the rise and today was my first day. I REALLY enjoyed it. Sure i have 12 items + 9 desserts to do by myself but the adrenaline and just chaos of how a kitchen line is brings me back and makes me love it. Not gonna lie though, it was pretty awkward at first. Typical first day for anyone,come in early, get told basic shit, read the menu and your supervisor runs away and you're like, well fuck what do i do now. The rest of the line is looking at me like i'm some fucking retard and i start to write notes..then rewrite the notes i wrote making it seem like im doing something. Then i started to read the menu, so much where i can recite it verbatim. Luckily my trainer arrived and i started to learn.

Talk about a good night to learn, it felt so dead but at some moments it was steady. I was able to learn waht i needed to learn and loved it. I basically got shit done, like any other beast would (joking..). I guess sometimes it really is good to break out of your shell and just do shit cause you know you need to.

Let's hope i can run it hard tomorrow, chee hoo.
