... long time no write..

So.. first off .. I have to apologize for not writing for so long, Life has been busy.. AND i just don't feel like using time to do this.
---I quit argo a couple weeks ago, and now I work at this dandy little yogurt shop.. it's ridiculously easy, and pays good.. so for now its good. We just finished our cake section which i 100% hated. yeah .. i hate cake. Horrible to say hate, but truly in my soul I HATE them. I want to bake... not decorate, they are two completely different worlds. Today I went out to Northbrook and worked a cookie competition for pastry chicago. It was a lot of fun, the contestants were fun and had great ideas.. and i got a gift bag! SCORE. Hallalujah it's almost over though for real. I'm ready for bread and breakfast pastries.. I know it sounds corny that I enjoy that.. BUT breakfast it's what I love.. and it's what I want to prepare. We graduate in June, and i'm totally ready for that. I'm ready for what comes after college... real life. I feel like I went in a loop with real life. I was finished with high school, moved out, made my own money .. then went to college like three years later.. it's backwards in a way. But I hope i'm making the right decisions I feel like I am.. no huge regrets yet.. thank god. This coming week I will post some pictures of things I've been making at school.. and better stuff that i've made at home. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend.. p.s. its like 70 degrees. nice.

SUCH a slackerrr...

SOOO.. it's been a while. ha. life has been pure insanity. been working a lot, we have exams this week, and .. i discovered a gaga song i'd never heard. beautiful. Things have been going well this week, i'm not too stressed about anything. I don't get why people alawys freak out when the word final is attached to something. FINAL step, FINAL notice.. scary. i feel like with our art, you either know it or you don't, i mean don't get me wrong, everyone needs their recipes. but to make something.. to know how to prepare it, you can't read every step and do it exactly. you have to feel it. just an FYI.

thats all i have to say.
goodnight

Finally Friday...

Today was great!
Started out perfect .. woke up on time, got my coffee, got to school.
GOT OUR TOOL KITS!!
I have to be honest... this is the only day so far that i've been looking forward too. Getting your chef's jacket is like the initial initiation, and getting your tool kit is like validation. I can't wait to use them!!! ( I just might have to make a late night dinner... who knows?) I have to work tonight until midnight... not so bad since I don't go in until 6. I STILL haven't gotten paid however.. For a day or two I had convinced myself that it was the mail, and I felt like a complete ass for bitching to the people at work about it. Except... I got mail today? I keep getting the same letter from my bank in AK about the SAME transaction, it's weird? makes me feel all de ja vu-ish. It's been lightly snowing here the past couple of days. My back alley exit was blocked this morning by a plow truck.uncool. I have to walk to work today because of the lack of paying me they have.. which means I have to leave an effing hour earlier than I should.. which FYI is ridiculous.
We are supposed to start our stages soon! I'm excited about it! I saw a couple of places on our stage list that i'm actually VERY interested in. To be honest, i'm nervous about it, but... i'm going to follow my new years resolution and just DO IT.. ( I have found the IT to DO!) well ... I need to go mentally prepare myself for work ... wish me luck ( and cross your fingers I do recieve a paycheck tonight ... :)

farewell for the night!

The end of my sanitation days.. and the darlin greek

This has been a LOOONG week, it's been one that everyone in my class has looked forward to, as well as dreaded for a long time. Our sanitation portion is over ( which i'm kind of bummed that our teacher is leaving us, he is a DOLL) we are now approved to touch things. No you perve.. not like that (FYI- it's unsanitary outside of home.) Class went well, test went well.. I felt kind of congested though, I think it's just being in the weather with shitty clothes on though to be honest. I come home today to find an EMPTY mailbox.... ahhhhhhhh they are never going to pay me. I was so annoyed I went down to my work at rush hour to talk to my boss, he explained what happened, (which made sense) but i'm still really irritated. It's like I try to be as nice as I can, as understanding as I can.. they just aren't Kaladis :( man.. I hope you fools realize that really is a good job ( and i miss you guys!!!) We never were stiffed a paycheck, it always came at the same time, Frannie would go out of his way to fix anything for us... they just need to give me a store down here I think. ANOTHER thing that urks me about my job is the lack of coffee knowledge these dummies have.. no of course I dont expect them to be an expert ( or a Paul for you kaladians) but come on... half of them don't even know how coffee can be decaffeinated. I don't know, I think I've become a coffee bitch. I talked to my mom for a while today, she always makes me feel better about things, always thinking on the positive side.. telling me things always work out.. thank god for that woman, I don't know how she does it. My mom's taught me a lot of really good things though- always to be nice to people even if you hate them, if someone is fucking you over FIX it, don't give up.. the basics ya know? but she really has it ENGRAVED in me. I'm only rude to people who treats others rude, and it's because it's unnecessary-- I don't look at it as rude, I look at it as my revenge against all the assholes I have to deal with all day. When someone doesnt pay me I sit in their office until I get an answer, and i'm not going to stop looking for a better job. I'm so happy that i'm in school, i'm so happy that i've got something to look forward to and be proud of. I like to work hard, i'm glad that this time working hard is actually going to benefit MYSELF rather than some dumbass corporate-ish company. One day, when I own my own place i'm going to treat people the Kaladi way. Everyone in alaska should know what i'm talking about, and if you don't ... you have issues. Tomorrow I better get a paycheck, or i'm raising hell. No joke.

Be Clean ... GO green, and sanitation.

SOOO .. I have my first two days of class down. First day was AMAZING! I started out the day early, barely could sleep. I hopped the train, grabbed a Chocolate mint from Argo, and bustled to class rocking out to some Lady Gaga. My best days always begin listening to Lady Gaga, it might be because we're both freaks, in two completely different ways. I'm loud, listen to people, and when someone is speaking in front of a group that i'm part of, i'm usually the only one who responds. Not quite gaga-riffic, but to many people, im kind of strange. I was excited to see who I was going to be with, a class full of girls! haha .. go figure. We talked to some of the teachers, a lot of the admin. faculty.. ya know- the usual first day boring shit. My group got our uniforms last, I think it added a little spark to the end of our day. It's like a sort of initiation when you get that jacket, it's like they're saying, " HERE.. you can have this.. buuuut, you need to listen to every word i tell you." I'm an open canvas-- fill me with colour! There are a couple people that I instantly clicked with in class.. which was NICEEEEEEEEEE. I get along with them, than the people at my job. I just don't really like my job, it's to dramatic, like everything is an issue. I just don't care enough about it, to really want to be involved in the drama. I just complain about the things ( OR supervisor) that really get on my nerves. But whatever... I have way better things to focus on right now, that worry about what they are doing. I go there to work- to receive a paycheck-- which haha, as it happens, I didn't get today on our PAYday. Supposively I get it tomorrow. It's not cool to do that to people, to tell them they get paid on the 5th, and then not pay them until the 6th. It annoys me because today was the last day to pay our rent without getting a late charge. I tried to tell my boss that but they laughed and were like " it's not like they're going to kick you out" OBVIOUSLY they can't do that. I signed a fucking year lease. BUUUT I will get a late charge, which YOU should be paying because YOU paid me NOT on time. Sorry for the rant.. I wouldn't ever say that in real life, but I can dream of it, and kind of need it to be said somewhere. Soonn.. i'm going to change the full layout of this blog.. or maybe i'll make another one-- one where I bitch about the annoying things in my life, and the one where i can showcase my work. hahaha.. the internet is so ridiculous.

New years eve- Subway rides, Public disturbance

SOOO .. here we are again, another NEW years eve, but not only is this the end of another year but it's the end of a decade. woah... i remember living in Fairbanks babysitting my neighbors kids I was almost 11 and TERRIFIED that everything was going to shut off and we would freeze to death. I remember waiting in front of the TV for the ball to drop, i ran into the kitchen to grab something and looked at the stove and it said 12:10.. i thought 'HOLY SHIT we lived.' haha so here we are 10 years later, i'm almost 21 and EXCITED. Now granted i'm NOT 21 yet, but honestly i don't give a shit. The subway is A PENNY all night ( usually 2.25$ a ride) i figure tonight is the best night to get drunk, ride the subway and explore this city ( not to say I wouldn't give anything to go to a club tonight!!) I know people usually have some sort of new years resolution list, or say that they are absolutely going to do something THIS YEAR no matter what... I decided no matter how I feel about something, how timid/afraid I feel, how ridiculous I feel, i'm just going to DO IT ( not that i even know what IT is yet). Like the great ol Lady GaGa has said "I want to make people feel like they have a freak in me they can hang out with", that's my motto now. I know though that I have things that i need to work on, i really take first impressions much to seriously i've noticed, also--- I KNOW that i hold onto grudges for FAR to long and I need to learn how to deal with that. For now, those are my goals, i know they aren't as exciting as losing weight and saving to go on vacation. I might actually be able to accomplish these however haha. I'm down to three days before school starts. I'm not nervous at all, sorted of surprized about that. SOOO.. kids, have fun tonight! DONT drive anywhere- if your in New York P.diddy is paying your way home(f you drink his Ciroc vodka,) IF your in Chicago, join me on the subway!! Happy New Years to everyone.. good luck on everything you plan to do this year, and may good fortune follow you wherever you go. p.s. don't get TOO fucked up tonight:)
