And We're Back...

So I am a horrible person, but I have been crazy busy this last month. To briefly recap: I volunteered for Lee Anne Wong (former Top Chef contender and all-around awesome lady), advanced to Level 2 (which means I'm 1/3 of the way through my program), and went to the career fair to get an internship but managed to get a job instead. Needless to say, lots going on.

The volunteer position was to help cater an event for The Women's Project held at The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Joan Osborne, Suzanne Vega, and Laurie Anderson were honored before the dinner, while we set up and got tacos. I hoped for some kind of serenading, maybe a verse or two of "One Of Us", but no such luck. So we had to sing to each other. A karaoke session is desperately needed.

Level two is a great deal more relaxing. Well, we work a lot harder (even through lunch), but the trade-off is that we have more freedom for creating our own schedule. As long as it's done at the end of the day, we're fine. I'm just happy we're done with boot camp. Although I do miss the slower pace every once and a while.

Our career fair is held twice a year at the school. Four floors of potential employers that you can run around to in just over an hour. A little hectic and crazy, especially in heels, but worth it. For those about to graduate, it's great for jobs, and for those of us still in school, it's perfect for finding that hard to get internship. Well, I ended up talking to a restaurant that I didn't even plan on talking to (mostly because I thought I had no shot) because their booth was next to one I was interested in. I did two trails and they ended up liking me so much, I'm now a part-time employee. I'm still trying to process how quickly all of this happened, but I'm definitely enjoying the ride.

Lesli, your recipe is coming. I should have it up shortly, so do not worry. Any other requests are always more than welcome. If I don't have one, I'll try to find one or make something up. And you will love it.

Work in the morning, but ready to go. Here's to slinging cookies and pies for a living!
