Greetings from Seattle!!

Hi guys!!!!
I am finally posting about my life here YAY!!! So I am in my 3rd week of culinary school and I really like it!! I mean this semester is the BORING one because I have 3 lecture classes and only one kitchen class. However I like my kitchen class a lot and one of my lectures isn't bad at all its pretty interesting and the teacher is funny so that helps. But then there is my AWFUL general education class, I would describe it as everything I hate about school all in one class, then to top it off the class is 4 hours long and the teacher is kinda crazy, I pretty much never know what is going on but somehow I am surviving it!! Then my other lecture class isn't awful but it's nothing great. Next semester should be better!!!

Anyway let me tell you about the class I like!! It's call Fundamentals of Classical Techniques. It is twice a week Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5:45 to 10:45 (kinda long but the time goes fast). So the first week we made stock which is kinda like a broth but not used for the same things. Then last week we made sauces which was pretty cool, I made homemade mayo and it was gross (but that is because I HATE mayo)! and this week we are making Soups, yesterday we made a black been, minestrone, potato leek and french onion!! YUMMY

My apartment is slowly but surely coming together, I feel like I have been going non-stop since I got here! But I still don't have internet (I am at my sisters right now) and I need to find another job for the weekends!! I really am having a great time, even if you thought otherwise from reading my facebook status today haha!!

Miss you guys, come visit whenever you want!!
Oh and I will post pictures soon, when I get my apartment all put together!!
And I am planning on starting another blog about my culinary school experience so when I do I will give you the info!!!

its been 4 days!! warning: LONG POSTS! sorry.



That night when we flew into the airport I had to go down to baggage claim to get my suitcases I noticed on my huge silver one that it said HEAVY 55 pounds.
haha well only half of that was bedding and I KNOW my bedding didnt weigh a pound, So it was all my hair product. I brought 55 pounds of hair product. ...




Day 1: I had been trying not to cry all day but my eyes were totally swollen! I cant stand it when people see me cry, so basically I had my sunglasses on all day and tons of make up. My dad and sandy had taken me to walmart before I had to catch the bus to go to casting. Goodbyes are hard. I hate them.
After Casting, I got to the apartment and met sara my roomate. Shes really cool. I met all my roomates. Taylor from Ohio. Johnette from New Jersey. Kate from New York. Tiffany from Texas, Kelsy from Tennesee, and emily and sara are from Michigan. SO we have all over! and tons of different accents! They all tell me I have a strong accent and I sound like Im from the south...HI im pretty sure arizonians dont have accents!
and then someone guessed I was from Minnesota!
weird haha. So then I took the shuttle to walmart and bought groceries with Johnette and Tiffany. Feel free to stalk them Im friends with them on facebook now. Most of them. Day ONE was also the day that they told me I had to have BROWN HAIR!
(dont worry theres a picture) haha.
At casting that day when they told me I had to dye my hair. I gave the lady serious attitude about how my hair was just fine. Finally the lady was like DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER! I wouldnt of been so mean but she was mean to me!
Biotch...!


On Day 2 I had an appointment to go get my hair done at Ulta in Kissimee which is like 5 minutes away. well we couldnt find it for 45 MINUTES! we finally ended up at the entrance of disneyworld. GAH. I felt bad because kelsy was driving and she was getting mad that I couldnt find it. I had to end up dying my hair twice that day because It wasnt brown enough.

SORRY! i would of had pictures but my camera was dead..





it overall cost me 85 BUCKS to do my hair that day. and they gave me a deal! Oh and I also got my eyebrows waxed for 5 dollars! SCORE!



Day 3: basically I had a 6 hour tradions class on the history of disney. The only cool part was walking under the park. UNDERGROUND. its a whole other world down there. IT SUCKED though because I was in heels and my feet hurt. Later, me emily johnette and sara went to Planet Hollywood in downtown disney which was so fun!! But expensive...Our waiter was cute and funny! and im pretty sure we made loving eye contact. anyway before we left, sara wrote on my receipt that I thought he was cute! OMG! we had to book it out of there before he came back and im pretty sure we'll never be going back.


Day 4: nobodys home at my apartment because there all their jobs. So im sitting here by myself watching arrested development! yay for being home alone!


Heres a Few Pics:


Emily me and Sara. Sorry Its so blurry. My cameras retarted. Were on our way to traditions.

Here it is.....GROSS. I look fugly because I just woke up. I look like a frog, or some kind of animal. Feel free to make fun of it. haha.

Heres the living room. Thats my laptop and arrested development playing in the background.

and thats the outside of the apartment. Cute huh!

Anyway this has been it so far! So far so fun! Later were going to disney hollywood studios so Ill take more pictures and I promise I'll have make up on.

BTW: theres a few hott guys but theres a 50/50 chance that there gay. Oh and yesterday on the bus to traditions I had to sit by a very flamboyant gay black guy and he asked me for a mirror and was really mad when I didnt have one... he was really upset that I didnt have one and Im pretty sure he eyed my brown hair in disgust!

it was awkward after and a 15 minute bus drive.

MISS YOU GUYS!!!
I hope you can come down! Everyones has there family and friends coming down alot! So COME DOWN!!

I can get you in the park free!
