I'm off and running.......
I began my Culinary experience on 16 AUG 2007 - I attended orientation at Gulf Coast Community College (hence to be known as GCCC) in Panama City, FL.
There were over 50 students in attendance. Both first and second year students. Chef Billy Redd and Chef Paul Ashman went over the basics of what will be happening and some scheduling changes that need to be made. They asked for volunteers to move out of the 8-12 classes and into the 12-4pm classes - hey! that's right up my alley. I quickly raised my hand and was the ONLY one to volunteer to change. What's not to love about taking your time to get ready in the mornings?
They stressed the importance of participation and helping others. And how we all needed to apply for scholarships and grants (there's a big DUH). And how many society events we will be aiding with each year. We toured the kitchens and classrooms and discussed chef uniforms and knives that we will purchasing soon. I can't WAIT to get a picture of myself in my uniform with my chef's toque (hat) on.
Classes actually begin on Monday, 20 AUG, at 0730. I'm sooooooooo ready.
Bear with me if I don't post each and every day. I may be pressed for time or just be out of sorts. Or busy studying (this is the most likely choice).
And thanks, dear friends, for caring enough about me to be interested in reading my daily sojourn.

Thanks for posting a link to your blog on the Cooking forum. I lurk there, though seldom post, and I'll be interested in anything you have to say about your culinary school experiences, as I've often thought about signing up myself. No chance of that for awhile, but I can't wait to hear about your experiences! Good luck, and thanks for sharing. :-)
Best of luck Pat!
This is going to be so much fun and I have no doubt you will do well.

I am so very proud of you, Pat, and I know this is the perfect future for you.
Aloha nui loa, Nalani

Love reading your adventure into the culinary world.....sounds like an act of love to be doing what you are doing.
18 months is a long time, but the freedom is now ALL yours!!!
Please keep us posted as time allows.
