Mad UPDATE

Hi everyone after 3 months of intense involvement in school Iam able to write everyone a little update on my progress in school.
So far I have taken my 101 class, American regional cuisine, purchasing and storeroom, and my greatly feared butchery class.
Iam still maintaining my 4.0 GPA and am blending in well with the kids 10 to 15 years younger than myself.
Thank you all for your support and help whenever I have needed it.
I love Portland so much I just bought a home and am taking this opportunity to take advantage of springbreak to move.
Wish me well Iam starting my flavors of the world class on Monday.
Danielle

Funny I was thinking about you last night, wondering how you were doing. Glad to heat that all is well.

Iza and I are on the same wavelength-- I've been hoping all's well for you, too! Maybe I'm weird, but the butchering class sounds interesting to me, although the work must be physically demanding in different ways from the typical chef work. Congrats on your sterling GPA! Have a sweet Passover--

With your positive attitude, it's no surprise you're still doing well, and enjoying even the tougher classes. Keep it up!

It sounds like the benefits might have started outweighing the frustrations? I hope so.

It was 80 degrees here today, and I cannot wait to move back to Oregon! You are lucky! To do what you love in a wonderful place!

Flavors of the world sounds very interesting. Let us know how it goes!

Hello Danielle:

Congratulations on purchsing your home! Portland is a beautiful city and I can understand why you decided to make it your home. Are they still fishing salmon at lunch time in the river?

A 4.O GPA!!! Great work! You should feel so proud!

Happy Passover!

Hey Danielle! Nice to hear from my ol'student buddy again! A big fat congratulations regarding the house. That's really wonderful, I'm thrilled for you. Ah the joys of painting a new house...

About butchery, that was my prime grade A fear as well. I survived it though, and you will too. Just pay close attention and let your knife guide you. You'll do fine; you're so much further ahead than anyone else in your class anyway. Keep an eye out for that stinky little gland in the leg of lamb. It'll make your fingers smell for a while if you're not careful!
Enjoy!

A.

Iam so sorry Iam not on more frequently, between the move to having the class from ****.
Flavors of the world.. The most interesting class ever, but very overwhelming we must have tasted over 2000 items in 2 weeks.
It's over and I hopefully received an A..
My newest interest.. shroomhunting and seaweed. We need to talk Shroomgirl..
