Back to School Again...

Well my first week back was interesting. We learned about and cooked baby cow...aka veal. I feel for the poor baby but hey its already on that path so why not make it taste good if its already dead. I tried sweetbreads for the first time and lets say it like Racheal Ray...yumm-o! It was so yummy. English is going ok, got a 98 on my first paper for her class. I was happy when I saw that. This week we have to choose a song that is our motto on how to live life, min is The River By Garth Brooks. My country roots are showing now. College As Career is still a pain in my bottom...making another resume...so much fun, not! My management class is going well, nothing new to report there. He's still crazy and now I know what slot machines I should use when I decide to go to the boats. There has been a lot of snow up here almost didn't have class one day because of it, but she made it in so we could cook that veal.

Well Bye!

2010...its been a decade...

I can't believe its been a decade already....10 years ago everyone was relieved that Y2K didn't kill all of us...1 year ago I was in California on the Queen Mary after the Rose Bowl Parade...crazy to think it was a year ago. Well I'm on the dean's list for my first quarter of college. I'm taking a meats class this quarter, a restuarant managment class, English 131, and College As Career (the worst of the bunch!). English isn't to bad just some of the people in the class need to learn not to interupt others while they are speaking... Meats is cool, learning how to fabricate meat is something I've been looking forward to doing. My teacher for restaurant managment was in the the Vietnam war, so he isn't afraid to offend people at all. He's amusing as a teacher and makes class worth showing up.

Haven't been able to sit down and read a good book...tear...but I have been reading a lot out of my On Cooking Book...aka the Bible for Culinary Students, with some pretty highlighters so I don't get distracted while I'm reading it. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person with homework because everyone else doesn't do it or they wait till like one a.m. to do it.

Being home is amazing, don't want to leave but I have to get back to reality...no bueno...but I have to deal with it sometime. The shortness of the break isn't bad because if I went back on the 18th like everyone that was let out on Dec. 18 I would be bored and resent Blue Springs and not appreciate being home and the city. I would just want to go back as soon as possible, but with my break I get to enjoy and love it to the fullest while I'm able to be home.

Well it's dinner time at the Koskovich Ranch...

P.S. Any ideas for my New Year's Resolution?
