classes and jobs
Aug. 19th, 2008 05:12 pmIf I needed any more proof that I'm doing the right thing, the first day of class was it. I loved it. I had such a great time, and got free dinner on top of it. We jumped right into things, and I was relieved to see that my knife skills are neither the worst nor the best. I am very good at slicing carrots and dicing garlic, but potatoes--harder than they look. Of course that was all the fancy cuts used for garnishing, not just dicing them up for soup or salad or whatever. I think I made a very good showing of myself for the first day. Today was sanitation and safety, and it is shaping up to be a fair bitch, and waaaaay harder than you would think it would be. Ugh, and public speaking was today too. Tell me, how the hell I was able to squeak by without taking public speaking as an English major, but need it to graduate with a culinary degree? I have one more class on Thursday (my internship class) and then that'll be it.
So on to the job situation. Still haven't heard back about the salad bar job. I hope that even if I don't get it they have the decency to tell me that, and not just leave me hanging. But the fast food job interview was today, and that looks very promising. I think I did pretty good, and the manager...! I so so so want to work for her. She seems like someone I could be friends with outside of work. We just clicked. We're the same age, and we even live in the same apartment complex! If I get that job I won't be as upset if I don't get the other.
And for the record, I'm pretty sure that there aren't any franchises outside the Southeast. It's like, I don't quite know how to put it, like upscale fast food. Definately not on the same level as McKing. And I'll go on a limb and give a hint in case anyone might know what I'm talking about: they only serve chicken. And they're closed Sunday (which god I need that).
Oh, and the balance of my student loans is being mailed as I type. It has never come to me this early; I was expecting to recieve it in September. So if that comes in this week or even next I won't be quite so desperate for a job, although I still need one for my internship (and a fast food place, sadly, will not suffice for that). So...things continue to look up.
