Why, fancy meeting you here. It has been far too long since our last meeting and I deeply apologize for the delay, again ;P Enough with the formalities, let's get down to the nitty gritty! After looking at my last blog I realized, IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I'VE UPDATED! I'm not implying that I should be writing everyday, but I do owe it to my friends, and especially my family to be doing this more often. I really should be able to keep up on the weekends, but I don't think you all realize what kind of time warp you get stuck in here. I mean, it literally feels like yesterday was April 20th and then, BAM! It's freaking June!
   I have to apologize in advance for what is to come, if you read this Chef, I'm sorry but it must be said. The last few weeks, save this last Wednesday because we had an amazing substitute, have been utterly ridiculous. The insanity the ensued in the bakeshop was completely unnecessary. I am here to learn, plain and simple. With that being said, how can I learn when someone is constantly temperamental? GREAT question, right? Answer: I CAN'T! The purpose of a fundamentals class is to well, learn the fundamentals of whatever you're studying. I can say with the most sincerity that I have never, ever encountered an instructor who is so bothered by my classes quest for knowledge by asking clarifying questions. I am looking forward to the day when I no longer have to step into the daily suffocating, uncertain realm of Chef; so close I can taste it.
   Incredibly liberating to get that off my chest! Now onto the good stuff! I know I mostly talk about school on here and never much about my personal life, partly because I'm lazy but, mostly because I don't find it too interesting. I also realize not everyone enjoys, or cares, reading about mushy things but I really want to share a part of my life in a more intimate setting than Facebook. I apologize for the following gush-fest.
  So, I've been dating the most amazing guy for the past six months. His name is Greg and he is awesome. We've actually known each other for over six years and, quite honestly, I never imagined that our high school friendship would lead us here. I am so glad it did :] He is quirky, hilarious and incredibly cheesy when it comes to telling jokes :P This last weekend I went down to visit him and he surprised me by planning an entire day of things for us to do. Sounds pretty normal to most, but I'm definitely not used to anything like that. We went to the movies, had a picnic,went shopping in some kitchen stores, went to a restaurant that was pretty far away because he remembered when I told him about a specific beer that I loved that tasted like a blueberry muffin and drove me all the way there to get one, and finally to an awesome ice cream parlor that had the most amazing salted caramel ice cream. It was a wonderful day, and I wouldn't want to have spent it any other way <3

He's probably not going to like that I posted this buuuuut....

Quite dapper, if I may say so myself :P
Just thought I would include a visual for those who like pictures :D

So anyway, school has been hectic as usual and I'm really looking forward to breathing this weekend. I suppose I should check out for now considering I should get some rest before my two finals tomorrow. Thank you all for taking the time to peruse the update!

I miss you mom, I miss you dad
I miss the four sisters I have
You're in my thoughts throughout the day
And I can't wait to see you again
(cheesy I know, but I can live with it)

Until our next encounter,
Keep it Short & Sweet
