Good news!

Well it's official, I am a student at the Connecticut Culinary Institute in Hartford, Connecticut, studying Advanced Culinary Arts!

I'm excited beyond belief... so excited, in fact, that I keep waking up in the middle of the night and just lay in bed smiling to myself, unable to fall back asleep... every night feels like Christmas Eve haha! I begin classes on March 30th, I go Monday through Thursday from 10:30 in the morning until roughly 3:30 in the afternoon. The schedule is flexible and perfect for me, it will allow me to work late afternoons/evenings/weekends at a restaurant.

Speaking of that, I have an interview with the manager of the Manchester Friendly's for a position as a cook and/or waitress this coming Monday. It's not a five-star restaurant, that's for sure, but it's a start. It'll be good experience, and good money! Wish me luck!

I've been so busy filling out applications/financial aid stuff for school that I haven't really had time to focus on this blog or film another episode of Funky Punk Fresh. Hopefully next week sometime when things settle down, I'll get back into the groove of things.

For now, I'm just super happy. For the first time in my life, I'm following my heart, and it's a wonderful feeling.

Tastefully yours until next time,
Brooke
