December 12, 2011

Crap. It's been awhile, hasn't it? Hello December 12! Where has the time gone? 

The last month (well six months really) have been insane. Most of you know, and understand, and I'm really grateful for that. I feel awful that I haven't even told you guys one thing about Phase Two, or where I'm going for my externship...I didn't even blog about the biggest food holiday of the year. I'm awful like that. 

I'll leave it at this, all of the lack of blogging, sleep, working out and traveling is all worth it. I may be exhausted, out of shape and stressed most of the time, but when I look back at this year I know that's not what I'm going to think about. 

I'm going to think about making one of the craziest decisions of my life.
I'm going to be proud of myself for making this decision.
I'm going to think about the friends I've made at culinary school.
I'm going to think about the famous people I met this year. Tyler Florence, Anthony Bourdain, Ted Allen to name a few. I know, I haven't even told you guys about any of that yet!
I'm going to think about how nuts it was to squeeze an entire culinary education in in just six months because guess what, guys?!

I'm done with classes.

Weird, right?

In one week I'm going to start my six month externship. I'm nervous as all hell, but it's going to be really fun. 

So, you might be wondering where I'm going for my externship? It was a long and hard process finding a place to work. I'll share more about the process later, but for now, click here to find out where I'm going! And if you're in the DC area, come and check it out! 

I missed you guys...I promise I'll try and be a better blogger.
