Even though I post on this thing almost never, I thought I'd benefit those that still care to read it by posting the following:

I've decided to no longer post here, unless it through some strange unforseen situation becomes my sole means of communicating with the outside world. That will never happen.

Goodbye pitas. It's been fun.

Despite the things that are going my way, there are some things in my life that I need to work on improving... and it's stressing me out.

Today I could be making a step forward in the food industry. From Whataburger to being chef at Sherman's finest dining (I'm serious): The Blue Door.

My backup will be "Buffalo Wild Wings: Grill and Bar." I go in for my interview at The Blue Door in about ten minutes. Whoo! I hope I get in!

Liars disgust me.

Culinary school is an official decision. Yet, why do I still take the Physics and Cell Biology? I think I just want to have a last laugh with the sciences... really squeak out some good grades before doing something completely different. I really think cooking still involves a lot of scientific thought: combining the right things, keeping the result in mind, following specific instructions, working with finesse, and having a lot of creativity and discipline.

I taught a class on how to cook Greek Food Sunday around dinner time. I had never cooked Greek Food prior to this occasion, yet the feast that my students and I made (under my own guidance, instruction, intuition, etc.) was a memorable one. It was tasty and, dare I say, a meal I was proud to have been involved in creating. The students that came to my class were great. All were eager to work and learn and I was happy to bestow upon them some of the basic principles of cooking I have learned through my own culinary experiences. And, best of all, I loved every second of it.

Even Whataburger couldnt keep me from having a job that involved food. Hah. Pledgeship is fun. I'm working as hard as I can. My new computer is working wonderfully. And there isnt much else that I can think to say. Oh, yah...

Here's a big "Fuck you" to my Biology professor for giving a "Chapter 7 Quiz" that covered no material whatsoever from Chapter 7. I would complain but I shouldnt be so gullible as to think that the title of the quiz should have anything to do with the content. I shall roll my eyes and trudge on.

I'm not sure if any of this makes much sense, seeing as it is about 2 AM and I'm tired and it's been a long day full of exercise and classes. So, here's the official apology for any bad grammar or lack-luster syntax. Goodnight.

Well, Jan-Term is over and Spring semester has begun, I have joined facebook.com by force, and despite all odds my courseload looks managable. The only perpetual college student problems that seem to plague me are healthy living and, of course, money.

I've been introduced to an interesting diet-plan recently. I want to be a bit healthier, so I've stopped consuming candy / soda, make a point to avoid any excess in carbohydrates, and will no longer snack. To reward my good gustatory behavior I have decided that I get to eat whatever I want and the amount that I want for dinner on Sunday. On top of this, of course, I'm exercising a couple times a week.

Just a thought: I think I may have lost count of how many times I've resolved to reform eating habits, exercise habits, and study habits (not to mention exercises in frugal living). I'm reminded of a quote by Mark Twain: "It is easy to quit smoking. I've done it thousands of times."

Why the hell does this only seem to happen to me on test days? I go to sleep with my alarm on, and I wake up SIX HOURS LATE and my alarm is off. I dont remember getting up and turning it off. I mean, I havent missed my test, but I sure as hell lost some extra study time that I could have used.

It's little things like this that I let happen on big days that seem to fuck my grades over.

Man bridge is a tough game to learn. Despite the intensity of my class (playing cards from 4-8 hours a day), I feel enriched by all that I have learned. It's nice to know a new game and to be good at it. My regular partner Jeremy and I have had a tendency to place higher than our classmates at the tournaments, and there were two where we made it into the top five, and one great tournament where we tied for first place.

The tests are so freakin' hard, but the intensity has been worth it. Today is the last day of class, and we have our final test. I need to finish the final lab and study, study, STUDY.
