My goal with blog is to post something everyday. Everyday at school I am going to learn something new and days I am not at school or working I hope to be out in the city exploring so I should have something to write about.
Today was day 2 of Culinary School and it just keeps getting better. I got up extra early today so I could make sure I made it to the school as close to 6 AM as I could so I could iron my uniforms. I actually left the house a little later than I wanted to by I was able to make up time with some serious power walking. Let me back track just a little. Yesterday I walked to school and had my awesome pedometer on and I was planning on stopping at the store on the way home but since I was loaded down with new stuff from school I decided to just come home. When I got home my pedometer said I had walked 6.54 miles. I thought hell yeah!!! I am kick ass!! I unloaded all my stuff and washed my new set of tools. Sad to admit I was so tired I actually took a nap for about an hour. When I got up I told myself I really needed to walk to the store because I was running low on food and I needed a few small items for school. Well, I looked up Fred Meyer and I thought I should walk there because that was the one I was trying to transfer too. I grabbed my coat and pedometer and went on my voyage to find Freddies. I had finally made it down there and did my shopping. When I got home which felt like it took me forever I looked at my pedometer (it keeps track of steps, miles, and aerobic steps from the entire day) it said I had walked 14.52 miles. No wonder my legs were hurting. This is why I wanted to back up so when I told you I powered walk this morning, it was not an easy task.
Today at school we got to start cutting potatos and all the cuts we are learning we have to know the French term for it. What I think is hilarious is Chef says all of these words in French and he sounds like he has been speaking French forever and today when someone asked him about another non-cooking word in French he said I don't know, I don't speak French. Ah, classic.
While I was at school today I decided that I was going to buy an iron so that way I could sleep in a little longer in the mornings. After class today me and 2 of the other girls that sit with me at my table went to the store to find an iron. Then she was super nice enough to drop me off at home so I didn't have to walk this afternoon. I have to admit I was very happy about that. My legs are still a little soar, but not as bad as they would have been year ago if I tried to walk that far. I feel like I have come along way thus far and it is only going to get better.
After I got home I need to wash all my new uniforms so I started heading up stairs and I startled by unfamiliar face. Yes that is right I met another roommate today. He is super awesome, we stood there and chatted for about an hour. We talked about cooking and hiking. He told me some really awesome places to go hiking so I am looking forward to do that in my spare time. He is a talker too so we both agreed that every time we see each other we will chat. I told him how I was starting to go a little bat crazy living in the garage and not having someone here to talk to when I got home. However seeing how I have lived here a full week now and just now got to meet him I don't know how often we will be chatting. He also told me he is moving in about 3 months out of state with his job. But hey at least he told me some hiking trails to check out.
I am going to try to get some pictures tomorrow so I can spice up with blog with some photos instead me just chatting away.
