Today was pretty amazing. I went to an Information Seminar on the culinary programs offered at a campus I had never been to. I was thoroughly impressed. My dad even took the day off to go with me to act as a second pair of eyes and ears. I'm just glad he got excited right along with me. Often I don't know if he is on board with my passions.
After a very detailed description of the courses and costs and other requirements, the department head took us on a tour of the labs. It was really cool to see students at work in the kitchen and I really just liked the whole setup. Open windows, spacious work stations, and really happy smiling students.
It made this dream a reality. I got to see what the uniforms look like and a lecture classroom, along with a food class in progress, that I later saw tasting the food they had been making when I came back through on the tour.
The internships are to die for. The list of places I could go work for seems endless and very upscale. One caught my eye but I don't want to get too ahead of myself. You have to be accepted into the program and only some 35 people are chosen each semester. I did fill out an application after the tour. It was actually pretty short. Just a checklist to see where you are in the enrollment process, your prior experience, your goals and how you came to know about the program. Very simple and I threw in "passion", "perfect fit" and wonderful timing to try and emphasize the importance of getting selected to start in August. I'll probably jump up and down if I get that acceptance letter in the mail in July.. like literally jumping and screaming and uncontrollable laughter. :) Pray I get in cause I really want to start as soon as possible. I don't want to waste any more time just going part time, not knowing if the classes I'm taking are going to get me anywhere in life. THIS IS WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO! I just know it. I love food, I love to create knew dishes and entertain people. I love the presentation side of it and the hospitality side. I can't wait to fill my brain with all kinds of new information.
I was being serious about praying for me though. I'm not sure how they pick people. All I know is that I will be following up with the department head that talked with us today. I want to be heard and show him I truly want and need to start this next semester. Hopefully he sees my determination and doesn't see a young girl, who is off on another venture that won't get seen through to the finish. Not the case here. :)
I'm going to bed a happy girl.
Night loves!
