..college adventures..: weekends in st helena

Weekends in St. Helena are BORING! there is nothing to do here because everyone i hang out with us under 21.. and well we are in wine country.. so we tend to make our own fun.

and really that is just sitting in murphy and alex's room being loud and obnoxious!

other than being bored on the weekends, we are in class. We just got done with our 3rd block of classes!! our first block was Intro to Gastronomy, Culinary Math, and Writing. second was Product Knowledge, and Food Safety. and our third block was Baking Ingredients and Equpiment Technology, and Nutrition. We werent supposed to have nutrition until later and we were supposed to have principles of design.. but our teach got sick so they had to switch the schedule around a little bit so we had a week of 4 hour nutrition classes. it was rough! But with our first real baking class we were finally able to start getting into the kitchen. we mostly did experiments and chef brown did a lot of demos.. but it was still fun.

our next block starts tomorrow and im kinda nervous but really excited. we start our culinary skills class with chef tucker, and he is pretty awesome! we are all really excited that we finally get to get out hands dirty :) the best part of this block is that we go to class for a week, then its worlds of flavor and we are having a bunch of japanese chefs come to the school so we dont have school all next week and my mom dad and brother are coming out!! the we have school for two more weeks and then its THANKSGIVING!!!!!! i cant wait. im so excited to go home!

oh and im finally 19! i celebrated my birthday on the 19h and just hung out with friends, it was weird not having my family around, but it was still fun, today is my friend alexs birthday so were partying it up tonight :)

but thats about all thats going on so here are just some recent pics

love you all
