For starters, I have a wonderful teacher. She’s so encouraging and fun and knowledgeable that she makes the class fly by. I’ve been inspired again and again by her, in my love for food and cooking, and also just embracing life and being myself in general. She also makes each of us start out the morning with a fun activity when we are MOD (manager of the day), and we’ve done some pretty fun stuff! After morning coffee, (which is one of the primary responsibilities of the MOD), we’ve hula-hooped in the dark with flashing hoops, playing many card, board, and trivia games and participated in a spice-smelling game where a member of each team is blindfolded and has to identify the spice or herb under their nose. We’ve also played a little soccer and for our last class, we indulged our MOD with a few rounds of Duck, Duck, Goose. Oh, and then there was my personal favorite-Musical Chairs! I won that game, and I’m very proud of that fact. No one can take that from me, not matter what happens later in life. After games, we’d all sit for our short lecture and then head into the kitchens to cook up eggs or sandwiches. Once done, we’d lay out our feast, eat and socialize, clean up, and then head home or to another class.
So, that’s the end of the eight-week-currently-most-awesome-class-I’ve-ever-attended. I look forward very much to the next eight weeks, and what they hold! I’ll give another update in May as to my culinary college experience.
