The storm before the calm

Hell week. That's what I ASSUMED last week would be. Turns out my horoscope was correct: Virgo is in Venus now (whatever the heck that means), so this is supposed to be MY lucky time.

Monday - Test in Basic Food Prep. Luckily it was online and I had studied. I made a 96.

Wednesday - I was sick all day. Never again will I eat soup that contains both cabbage and beans. I know, I know, that's way more information than anyone needs to know.

Torrential rains and thunderstorms on Wed. & Thurs. - slogging through water 6-7 inches deep in the parking lots. Wet socks do NOT make me a happy camper; however this is my absolute favorite kind of weather. It is melancholy weather, and I believe that melancholy is one of those vastly underrated emotions.

Thursday - Algebra test. Couldn't believe it - the test was so easy I was finished in 10 minutes. I even asked if I had missed a page or something. Nope, I finished it all. If I didn't make an A it will be because I made some stupid arithmetic error.

Friday - Chef's club meeting at noon. We were locked out of the classroom, so we met in the hallway. Chef didn't show up. Highly irregular. Come to find out, he and Chef Redd are interviewing someone for a new Chef Instructor position. Chef finally shows up about 12:30, huffing and puffing. He obliges us all with a few details on the fellow they interviewed: he is Hungarian/American - a former Green Beret - and a Master Chef. Most impressive. I'm sure it all boils down to $$$, but we will see.
Anyhow - during those aforementioned torrential rains, an electrical transformer blew Thurs. night, leaving the east half of the campus without power, which still wasn't fixed at class time. The morning Meat Fab. class was cancelled, therefore, Chef cancelled our class - much to our great relief! So, we get a week's reprieve - and Chef even promised a study/review period as we're all sweating this test on beef/veal/lamb.

So, here it is Sunday - I still have to take my online Sanitation test sometime today. As soon as I eat something, take some sinus medication for this danged headache, and review my notes again, I'll get right on it.

Here is the moral of this blog post: Never assume anything. We all know what that means.
