It’s been a while since I’ve been on. Things have been great. I started Culinary School at the beginning of April. Went through a huge rough patch but I guess that’s sort of done. No use living in the past, AGAIN. haha
Well anyways. Looked at the calendar while cleaning my room and realized my birthday is in 12 days! Holy shit. Didn’t realize my birthday was so close. I mean I was aware that it’s April but my birthday is not until the end of the month. 29th. Thinking about having a little dessert party in my backyard on that Sunday. A brunch with a few people maybe. Who knows? I’ve been watching too much Food Network and have all this fancy little brunch dishes to try out on people. Sometimes I wish I could just reach into the TV and taste the food Giada makes. haha

Instead of going out to dinner tonight, I will be making dinner for 5. I think I’ll make parmesan-crusted pork chops. I’ve never worked with pork chops before so this should be interesting. I think I’ll pair it up with a nice focaccia bread, maybe sauteed spinach and potatoes. We’ll see. I think i’m gonna make it a multi course meal. Maybe a simple Italian salad to start, dish out the main course and then finish it off with a yummy dessert. Oooh dessert. I haven’t even thought about dessert yet. Well. I guess I should get going then. I’ll post pictures up of the process and final products :]

The video is Todrick Hall’s Flash Mob at Target to Beyonce’s “End of Time”
I wish I looked like that when I dance around my room! HA
Nothing like a little Beyonce to start my 5 day weekend. It’s about 7:50 in the morning. I have no clue why I am up this early, but I’m gonna be up and around the town today! I’m kind of excited to go on my little adventure. I have to pick up a bunch of Stage Manager stuff. Duct tape, Kleenex, yellow pad paper, first aid kit and some air freshener. HAHA. I’m really excited for this Musical to open. It’s a little bit frightening because we only have 2 weeks left after today…But I know we can pull through. I think it’s starting to sink into the cast that we have so little time now. Everything is starting to come together too! The main bones of the stage is up. Grand staircase and Max’s office are finally built and we started moving them around off and onstage. Well…I should probably get some homework done and shower up before I go on my little adventure! Have a good day!

Ah a day of hearts and love and gooey shit. Just kidding. It feels like a normal day. Minus all the guys walking around with bouquets of flowers for their “Boo/Girl/Hun/Babe.” I think it’s super sweet that guys go all out for this holiday. I mean I think they could do it any day but maybe it’s just more socially acceptable on Valentine’s Day. They’re even all dressed up and cleaned up. Me? I’m going to an eye appointment and then I get to sit in English to talk about Dickens. And then I get to have dinner with my valentine. The only man in my life who will always be my valentine :] Who? DADDY. <3 Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all.

Writing is turning one’s worst moments into money -J.P. Donleavy4 hours into an Edit and I’m still not satisfied. Definition essays are so difficult. I hope I did this right!

I think that baking is always going to be my therapy. Baking 48 mini cupcakes, 12 regular cupcakes and an oval shaped-ish cake is a new high. Just gotta focus on not having the bag of buttercream icing exploding every 5 minutes. Oh. And I made chocolate mousse. I think I’ve really found my niche. My next mission is to properly bloom gelatin for Panna Cotta.
Today was okay. Had a nice day with my parents. They’ve really done above and beyond to help me through life. I guess it’s what parents are for but up until now, I never really took it as anything. Family will always be there for you. No matter how much you mess up. If they love you, they will pick you up, slap you around for what you messed up, and then they’ll help you rebuild your life back. But careful. If you mess up one too many times, they might get fed up. Well it’s going to be another long weekend. We’re finally called to rehearsal all weekend. Eek. We open a month from today!
Goodnight.

There are no classes in life for beginners: right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult. -Rainer Maria RilkeFinally made it home after a long day. Class from 9-2:15 and then again from 3-5. Pile an hour and a half of rehearsal and then a two hour instrumental concert. It was a busy day. But the concert was beautiful. The music brought out emotions I haven’t felt in a while. Mostly good, like when music really moves you. The sad songs…not so much. It’s all still so fresh in my mind. BUT I’ve got so many wonderful people who love me, regardless of all the mistakes I’ve made. It’s the best feeling in the world. It makes me feel like it really does get better. Just gotta stay positive. All the difficult stuff it just to prepare me for the future. It hasn’t killed me, so it is just going to make me stronger. All I know is that I am thankful for all the people who have been here for me the last few months. Thank you. For everything. :] Well it’s late and I’ve got graphs and functions with my name on it. Goodnight.

Ahh Mondays. The beginning of a new week. So far from the long awaited Friday. Most of the time, Mondays are filled with school and then rehearsal. Today wasn’t any different but it was beautiful outside. As I got out of Math, the weather was nice. Nothing special. But I felt oddly peaceful. The last few months have been so crazy. It’s been some crazy roller coaster ride, but it’s finally calming down. I finally figured out my New Year’s Resolution. Focus on me. Yeah, it’s a little narcissistic…but it’s really what needs to happen. This whole year will be about me focusing on getting my career started and focusing on bettering my health and all that. Don’t really know if anyone is going to be reading this but if anyone is out there in this “blogging” world, this whole thing will be me talking through this crazy new chapter of my life. Happy Monday.
