hi suzanne,
actually, i have taken 5 years of spanish...its sad...i know sooo little. The only way to learn a language is to really work hard at it...it doesn't matter how many classes you've taken. Therefore...i definitely did not work hard in Spanish. I really regret this because now i realize how important it is for me to be able to speak spanish. Next year i will be in israel all year, i will become fluent in hebrew but that isn't gonna help me in houston.
About my life outside of work. I go to an Art high school that is very demanding not only in academics but also in my art area. I play trumpet and am in the wind ensemble, symphony, jazz band and all this year i have been preparing for my senior recital. I am usually at school from about 8 in the morning till 7 almost every day, either rehearsing or performing. I am also very active in planning and running my youth group, and of course don't forget studying(which you didn't). I have been reading about cooking every chance i can get, or when i'm procrastinating from doing my school work. I'm either on cheftalk, like i am right now, or reading books.
The freedom i am talking about is the ability for me to pretty much make my hours at work. . For instance, for the next month i will not be going to work because i am out of town every weekend until april, either with school or for family reasons. At any other job, i don't think i could really miss a month of work and still keep my job. This is what i mean when i say "freedom". Also, I definitely am not "hanging out" when i'm at work.

P.S. there is some confusion with my name...its not cooking school spelled wrong. It is cookin's cool....spelled wrong...haha
I guess i'm just a really confusing guy in general.  |
