Culinary school, day one.

I had my first class today. Not much to report, folks. It looks like Purchasing is actually online, rather than the hybrid they advertised. We have three field trips during the semester, so they needed to give it a meeting time and place. Other than that, I am on my own. I plan on using the time set aside for class for my study time. Chef went over the Blackboard system used for online classes. He answered a few questions. We were done in an hour. Not surprisingly, I was the only one to show up in uniform. Two professors noticed. It's just as easy for me to put on the uniform as it is to put on jeans and a t-shirt, so I intend to wear the full uniform to all of my classes. The chef coats I bought fit very well and are quite comfortable, which is a nice change from the generically sized men's styles restaurants tend to order en masse. I promise (Mom, I'm looking at you!) to get someone to take a picture of me in uniform for you.

I stopped by Stitch today on my way home and ordered a new messenger bag for school. They didn't have to colors I wanted, so Holly offered to have one made for me. It will be ready next week. I'll post a picture when I get it. So cute! For those of you unfamiliar with her stuff, it's a hand made from an industrial vinyl. It's great quality, super cute and definitely unique!

Now, if you'll excuse me...I have homework to do!
