Yesterday I was supposed to go to Culinary for my next hands-on... Apparently the schedule was switched without our knowing, which made us late. The Computer Tech teacher was understanding, though. The class, despite the bookwork, seems pretty interesting; I may choose it as my second option for the sake of being able to fix my own computer.

Today I went into the culinary classroom. The day's activities consisted of peeling & cutting potatoes, scooping biscuit batter, & washing dishes. Despite the stiffness of my hand from peeling, I felt rather peaceful while doing these tasks; more than ever I want to study culinary arts! We were able to sample several tasty dishes as we worked, including chocolatey florentine cookies, a very cheesy risotto, & the mozzarella-garlic biscuits we helped to shape on the pans, & which will be served for dinner tonight :P

Tonight I completed all my class time and paperwork to be a forest wildfire fighter. All that's left is to pass the pack test and to field train. On paper, I am now a wildfire fighter!
