Packed up for one last night at school
It’s been such a sad, disheartening few days in the media. When I arrived on Monday evening at the International Culinary Center for my last class in Level 6, I found out about the bombings in Boston as I was in the locker room changing for class. My heart dropped. My mind went immediately to the friends who live there, hoping that they were all safe (at this point, I think that none of them were even there at the race). So, I did want to send out some positive news to counterbalance all the bad stuff that has been happening.
Yes, it is real! Grande Diplôme in Classic Culinary Arts with Distinction (Honors Class)
On Wednesday evening, I passed my final exams for culinary school! My fellow classmates did as well, too, which was fabulous, as we’d all been working so hard these past nine months, including taking extra shifts in the kitchen to gain more proficiency with the recipes on which we’d be tested. Of course, we went out and celebrated, although we’ll also be celebrating again in a couple of weekends at our official graduation ceremony at Carnegie Hall, along with several other classes of graduates from 2012-2013 in the Culinary, Pastry, and Wine programs. I have so much more to write and to share about my experiences in this program, but for now, I just wanted to post about some good news.
Buon appetito!
