Midterms

Ah, now there is a term I never wanted to hear again. Midterms. Its hard to believe I have only been in Dallas for one month (as of yesterday) and its already time for midterms. Its 8:45am and I am going to start studying until I have to go to work at PaneraBread from 11-2.

I've been working there since the first week I moved here and I am really enjoying it. Just wish I could work a few more hours and they could pay me about double what they are paying me per hour. The food is great and the coworkers are interesting characters. The best part about it is that the company is nearly OCD when it comes to organization and documentation and community involvement. Imagine working for a company that cares and takes care of things the way they are supposed to be. I'm still in shock.

Get this, they actually donate all the leftover breads and pastries at the end of the night to local food banks, shelters and missions. That other place in Baylor-land ought to learn from this... instead of throwing perfectly fine baked potatoes in the trash right in front of the homeless people sleeping on the patio.

I'll finish studying and send out some more resumes on my break between work and class. Midterms start at 5:30 so say a prayer! Tonight I have a midterm in Sanitation and Safety at 5:30 and Concepts and Theory at 7:30. Tomorrow I have my last midterm written exam in Management and Supervision at 1:00. So far I have made A's on all my tests and quizzes, an A on a midterm sure would be nice in my pursuit of scholarships.

Our actual midterm practical for Skills isn't until next week. Gives me one more week to practice cutting vegetables into perfectly shaped Julienne, Brunoise, Small/Medium/Large Dice, Paysanne, Batonnet, Tourner and Parisiennes. Gonna practice on potatoes this weekend... anyone wanna help me eat all the mashed potatoes when I'm done?
