Go Sam!

I don't think I chopped and sliced properly because I have blisters!  I totally have to remember to breathe when concentrating on not cutting my fingers off!✋ so much fun tonight, we made risotto and grilled chicken.  I have the best teacher who is super patient with us!  Best night ever.

AOTH

Have you ever had one of those days where when you lay down in bed you sigh with contentment because you had the single best day of your life?  Today was that day for me.  I had such an amazing time with my friends at the Expo and seriously even the drive there was pure comedy that had me laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face!    I found this new jewelery medium called Scrabble tile jewelery and I absolutely adore it.  If only I was crafty.  I have a small bit of reading homework from class last night but otherwise I am schoolwork free.  I opened my knife/equipment set finally and it is the coolest!

Wiped

Exhausted, brain is overflowing with new knowledge.  Definitely need to purchase an external hard drive for additional storage!  Lol received new knife set, very fancy; so tired I haven't even opened it yet!  Affair of the Heart at the Expo at 9 tomorrow with my gal pals.  Long weekend ahead, time to regroup an recharge and get ready for another week.  I've worked so far ahead in all my workbooks for all my classes I worry I'll forget what I've learned.  So far I love being a student and love my teachers and classmates.  #keepsgettingbetter

It was worth it.. by Samara Sant

There were moments, lots of them of pure and utter bliss.
Care to taste my salty tear streaked lips?
I laughed with abandon and held nothing back
I was open and real and every moment was organic
my heart was overflowing
from a bottomless well of love and adoration
pure and unadulterated heat and passion
savored every moment as I knew it was possibly fleeting
people would visit Heaven if even a moment just to experience it for a moment, to know it was real.
that was me; to feel it for once, to find out it wasn't a myth after all, that is what I take with me.
taste the salt on my lips
my heart; it's in so many pieces now
like a fine sparkling stardust in a midnight sky
scattered to the Heavens
when I look up into the night sky I'll remember that once I visited Heaven, even if it was just a season pass.

I am so pumped!

Home before dark! I totally impressed my teacher tonight I worked ahead and finished a weeks worth of work and tests and turned it in; so she let me leave a hour early!  Straight A's across the board, AND I HAD A BLAST while I was doing it, and did my first air fist pump ever I felt so happy and accomplished.  I am a nerd and I don't care!  I am so happy I don't know what to do with myself, I knew it would feel amazing to actually apply myself and learn, I really feel like I can do this, I can accomplish this goal and realize my dream of being a college grad!  What did you do today to pursue your dreams? Is it 10 p.m. Friday night yet?!  


Sleep in Saturday..I hope.

That's the plan at any rate.  Going into day four of school I can honestly say that I am loving it!  Every day is something new so it won't get stale or monotonous.  My instructor Chef Kester is hands down my favorite teacher; not that the others aren't phenomenal but he treats us all like equals, and engages us in these amazing dialogs that are meaningful and thought provoking.  Too bad he isn't going to be our math teacher.  I knew I would love this school and this course, but then I get put in a class with five other people and realize, we're not a class, we are a team and I can already sense we will be a terrific one at that!  We all bring something unique and special to the table and I really believe the sky's the limit for us.  We keep joking that we hope our small group stays together and that no one drops out and we've promised to support each other in class and if someone has car trouble to make sure they get to class, sounds like the makings of a good team to me.  For six strangers to get together and gel so quickly and to genuinely care about the others success in this endeavor, says a lot about what this school inspires in it's students.

After last night I think I am officially a vegetarian; but more on that later!

Off to work.

Math

 
School called and I can't see the tutor until tomorrow, which is fine I'm just excited to get started.  I am really looking forward to this weekend, and I am totally going to take advantage of the energy I will have after getting out of class at 10 p.m. Friday night, I don't want to waste a moment of time if I can help it, I want to make the most of every second.
