Get used to it. >_>
I get up at 5:30 am every damn morning.
My friend was going to go there for pastry arts, but changed her mind because I told her she can't bake a real cake to save her god damn life, or take the stress of the kitchen. And wait, isn't that school affiliated with Le Cordon Bleu? >_>
No, that's the Texas Culinary Academy, and it costs twice as much.
And besides, I wont have to get used to it, classes that start in november are evening classes :P
I get up at 6:25 every morning.
Evening classes? what's the time schduele?
o_o Sounds like it will be even more of a hell for you if you're not getting a full day advantage like me. Also, how are the classes separated there?
Is it like:
Sem 1:
sanitation (6 day class)
Pro Cooking class 1 [PC1] (aka knife skills) (12 days)
PC2 (stocks,soups & sauces) ((14 days))
PC3 (Veggies) ((8 days))
PC3 (meats) etc, etc, etc. ((14 days))
With some other added bullcrap classes in between?
or say like a community college where you go to this class at 3:30, then ____ at 5pm >_>;
I'm trying to find an easy way to sum it up...
Basically, 5 hours of classes per day. First hour is lecture/theory and then 4 hours in kitchen work. There are some pure lecture courses squeezed in, but no bullshit classes - This is a certificate program, not associates.
Ok, I see now.
Once you get into cost control and start costing out recipes, hit me up. (if you do have that) I want to know if you guys get taught a more simple way of doing it >_> or the same way.
Currently converting portion size/getting recipes ready for my kitchen lab work , and studying for my final exam tomorrow. Stocks, sauces, and soups is a bitch course. Information overload.
Have to make 5 difference soups tomorrow and have a good presentation in under an hour. Easy stuff, just hate the group I was assigned X_X means I'm going to be doing all the work.
Kk. Well, as it turns out, may not be going. Americorps called while I was there, and I just got the voicemail - There is a position open.
I get up at 7:15am and don't get home until around 7:00pm.
