Whoa, it's been awhile (not like anyone is reading this.) Lots have happened within this last year. Many, many things. Done pastry school, but now I'm back in cegep (I can't believe I'm back at Dawson and still not done my last semester.) Had a little breakdown (ha, little) and can't seem to figure out where my future is going. I've decided to go to university (though my psychologist isn't quite sure it's for the right reason - what's wrong with trying to please the parents?) but I really don't want to leave pastry. I love my job (though it is making dessert in a supper club - I don't go clubbing, at all!) and my boss and co-workers are great. I have the summer to figure everything out, which isn't much time, but at least it's some. Blah, I feel weird and strange and not right.

My Head Hurts	[May. 7th, 2007\|01:51 am]
I am slowly going crazy, 1 2 3 4... I feel so worn out. Between school, work and competition, I feel like I barely have time to sleep. My brain can't stop thinking of the competition and my projects. Plus I think about all the stuff that I need to get done at work. Ahhhh! On the bright side, I passed my chocolate exam. Look at the pretty chocolates! I need to sleep, but I need to wine down from work. I can't wait to move downtown so hopefully it won't take me an hour and a half to get home, especially when I finish at midnight and have class at 8am the next day! Must sleeeeeeeeep...

Yes! I passed my exams (modern entremets and brioche.) I only have one more dough module left. Viennoiserie... ouf... I seriously hope I improve because my croissants suck. On the plus side I'm really excited about decorating my wedding cake and my plated desserts. Chocolate exam is coming up soon. Eeeeek!

Work	[Mar. 13th, 2007\|12:44 am]
Yes! I have finally quit Stokes (though it's still not official because I haven't signed the paper yet). I am now currently working at Les Remparts (though still not officially because I haven't signed the paper). Sunday and Monday were my first two days, and I'm hoping they thought I did ok. I'm still crazily nervous abut everything, especially since I've never worked in a restaurant before. It's weird going from being an intern to an actual employer. My boss isn't there, so I feel kind of alone and anxious. Thank god the other cooks are really nice and willing to help (even though they aren't specialized in pastry). I love the desserts we're making. I just hope I get better at making ice cream canals. It's so late and I have class tomorrow. Ahhhhh! Later

Exam	[Mar. 6th, 2007\|08:47 pm]
I'm so happy that I had to write this down. I passed my petits gateaux exam! I thought I was going to fail for sure. My pâte à choux came out really badly because I had misread the recipe, so I had to redo it again (and even that wasn't completely right). Then when I dipped my petits fours, it just didn't cover properly and there were plenty of crumbs. I wanted to scream. At that point I resigned to my fate that I was going to fail, calmed down, and just continued. I think I just had to remember that I love doing this. I kind of went into my own world and finished all the products. The teacher was really happy. If he was nit-picky, I'm sure I could have failed. I'm just so happy. Yay! Later ps. On a side note, I'm currently sick. How I got through this I have no idea. I knew I was going to catch a cold. Having wet feet during the whole nuit blanche was not smart.

I thought I wouldn't post anymore entries, but this feels like it needs a post.

What happened at Dawson on the 13th was fucked up! I'm so happy I chose to take a year off of Dawson. I could have been there, and probably would have been in that area, but I'm not, and I'm glad about it. I know this sounds wrong, but this is something that happens in the States, not here. Why Dawson? It was such a laid back and casual school. There was so much diversity. It was a great place to be. And now it will forever be marred by some gun-loving lunatic. F'ing bastard!

Even though not everyone went to Dawson, pretty much every Montrealers are one way or another connected to the school. I'm so thankful that all my friends are ok. I hope that all the injured will get better, and that Anastasia's family will heal from this tragedy.
