KICKED OUT OF DINING SERVICES =(

Today, at school, was the first day of a new 3 week cycle of classes. For some reason, and I don't know why, I thought that I was starting Dining Services. So, the instructor called out roll and i wasn't on the roster, but i stayed in the class for a while. Beth, our instructor, first talked about how we had to get names and information of 5 chefs we wanted to invite to the chef tours we do so that they could tour the school and find some interns. I got to think of some of the chefs i wanted to invite to our schooool. We also went around and said where we were a year ago. Humm... so a year ago i was complaining that i didn't want to go to community college anymore because i wasn't happy at all. and all i wanted to do was go to culinary school. anyways.. After, we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class and talk about where we want to do our intern. So i went up.. and i said, "hi my name is stephanie.. and laughed probably .. because i just laugh all the time when im nervous. and blahblahblah.." and then she asks me where do i want to do my externship. I told her I am going to do my externship at the restaurant i work at now. I work at Park Place in the Cyprus Hotel in Cupertino where my Uncle Brad is the executive chef. She asked me if I could go anywhere in the world where would i go, and I gave her a list ( I really suck at decisions so i had like 4 different places haha) Italy, San Francisco, Hawaii, or Las Vegas. Home is a safe place because i wouldn't have to worry about travel or a place to stay, money for travel or a place to stay, and i would be with all the people i love! haha. Ive been here all my life! She did push me to check into Italy though and I'm rethinking it. i mean.. its only 3 months... but anyways.. i was really enjoying that class and i was surrounded by people i knew and was comfortable with. At our break I went to speak with our registrar to see what was wrong. I was told that i was in restaurant production and not in dining services.. and i couldn't switch out... I have dining services next as a PM class.. that means i would start at 3pm and get out at 10pm.. and get home at like 11pm... eeek.. i fall asleep driving home already! i also decided to take my advanced garde manger class as a PM class so i could be with my friends for my last class. so I'm not complaining about that. soo... i go into restaurant production and there's only like 8 of us. restaurant production is that class where you cook for the restaurant. so i know nobody in my class because they're all students in their last class. Restaurant Production is usually one of your last classes and you take it after dining services, maybe that's why i was confused? haha. I came to class with no apron and no knife kit because i thought i would be in dining services, so i had to ask people i didn't know if i could borrow their tools.. kinda awkward. Today was not such a funn day. After being disappointed about not being in the class i thought i was in, i had to go into production with no tools and with people I have never worked with before right away without having the time to get to know them or see how they work. It was not pleasant at all. My food tends to reflects how feeel... I burned tomato sauce. oops. but my gnocchi was good. =) Although i hate the situation I'm in, I'm gonna have to deal with it, and I know that it's going to get better. Besides the fact that i burnt tomato sauce (which makes no sense at all because i love making tomato sauce and its not hard at all), the class is not that bad and i got along well with all my new classmates, I'm just sad I'm not with my friends in dining services... =( I have to look at the fact that this is how life is going to be for me. As I work in other kitchens, I am not going to know anyone and I am going to be expected to get used to things and be comfortable out of my comfort zone. THIS IS LIFE. better to experience it now than later.
So pull yourself together, Stephanie!, and stop being so dramatic! =) ahahaha
