You know what's ridiculous? Other than my complete lack of blog posting lately. And the wolf scene in the new Twilight movie. How gosh darn happy I am right now.
I keep waiting for it to wear off. I keep waiting for the two-hour commute, the 13 hour days and the fact that I spend just over an hour total with my husband during the week, to burn me out and do me in. And I have days where I wake up tired, feel sick or don't want to head up the freeway to face my commitments. But there hasn't been a night I've driven home that I haven't felt incredibly blessed, grateful and humbled by how lucky I am right now.
I'm working with amazing people at a place that I truly, deeply believe in. I'm spending my time studying a subject that fascinates me and ignites something within me, and despite the fact that I hardly have time to do my laundry much less hang out with friends, I'm feeling overwhelmingly supported by the people in my life. Especially my poor, neglected husband. :)
I keep waiting for it to wear off, but I'm praying that it doesn't.
Week 9: Term 1 Finals.
Labels: Cooking, Culinary School, Me 1 comments
Finals week has come and gone, as has my first term of culinary school. CRAZY! I scored a 94% on my individual, written final, we got a 90% on our group practical and I managed to pull an A for the class. At least I think so, because when I asked the Chef, he just rolled his eyes at me. :)
It was a little bittersweet to part ways with my classmates and chefs, a little scary to be moving on into the unknown, but also pretty exciting. I can't wait to keep learning more and getting better at everything! I've already learned a ton in just the first few days of Term 2.
In other news, Taylor is done with travel season and home for good. I am done sleeping on friends couches and am back to my two hour commute and gas guzzling ways. We're seeing each other about 15 minutes at night when I get home from my, now later, class. So, we are locking ourselves away from the outside world this weekend and are finally going to celebrate our anniversary with lots of good food, fireplace gazing and relaxation.
