got in a 2 hour nap after work this afternoon, just so I can stay awake at night. Some times one doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry, because you are so tired and exhausted you can't even think straight. Made myself a "Banh Mi" sandwich and had a bowl of soup to wash it down. Drank a glass full of extra "C" to keep up the immunity so I don't get sick. Eat dessert at the bakery.
Saturday is graduation, hard to believe it has come so fast. I know I still have 3 more weeks of externship left and 3 more weeks of baking. After talking to Chef Fritz, the director of education, I'm going to take a leave of absence and resume the 3 week baking class in January 2010. My reason for this is "Sanity", juggling 3 internship sites, working full time at my real job and finding time for the family. The flip flopping of night and day don't help in any way, I'm finding myself wide awake from 9pm - midnight and falling asleep at my desk job at 7:30-9am in the morning.
Anyhow, it will take the stress level down and allow me more time at the bakery to enjoy my learning experience there. I like all my internships, everyone is so nice and helpful to me, but when it come down to my favorite, it has to be the bakery, because it is where I'm most passionate about. One can not find joy in their job, if it doesn't come from the heart. The heart of it is, I love to bake. Just learning from the different internships, whatever you chose to do in life, it has to come from the heart, especially in cooking since it is such a demanding job, low pay and the rewards are few. I'm glad, I was able to learn a little from 3 different internship sites, because it has given me a broader picture of what I enjoying doing the most.
