Testy Thursday

It seems that every two Thursdays and Mondays, we have tests. Thursday we have tests in Kitchens and Sanitation. Today in kitchens was our broccoli practical exam. I got a 92, because I overcooked the broccoli just a little, and the bottom of my pan wasn't clean enough. But still, an A is an A, so I'm not complaining. We didn't cook much because not only were about 4 people short of our full class, but half of the class was doing their broccoli practical. I was in the first group so I think those who weren't doing the practical were mincing garlic and onions for cafe prep. So it was a pretty basic class.

In strategies we learned about memory, and the different ways we use it and lose it throughout our lives.
In sanitation we also had a test, but that was it. I'd spent almost every night this week studying with my classmate Ashley, who is deaf, so I felt really prepared. Studying with her is a win win situation because not only do we both learn what we need to for our classes, I also learn sign language, which is fun.

All in all, it was a pretty good day. Except for the fact I found out the school is closing. Don't worry, I'll still finish my degree, but they are no longer accepting new students. I'm not exactly sure why, but it has something to do with the lack of funding and new applicants and a gradual phasing out of their various programs. So, while its unfortunate that the Chefs will lose their jobs, that's a part of life, and I'm still certain the God will provide.
