Nantucket❤

I have been loving Nantucket! It's a culinary heaven! So many highly rate restaurants in one area! People come here to get away from reality and relax on the beach. I would come to just eat food at everyplace! It's like living in paradise with the best food you can get at your finger tips! Here are some pics so far of my trip!

Disney Internship

I know I didn't post about my internship at Disney but it was a great experience I will never forget. I have added just a lot of pics from Tony's kitchen for you to get a summery of my 18 week internship. Of course this is only the food none of all the fun experiences outside of the kitchen :)

Practical week

This week happeneds to be te craziest week in all of my time a culinary school, practical week. I have take a 100 question test and cook for a chef. I must make a soup and whatever dish I am assigned to. I must pass in order to move on in the program. So much pressure! Wish me luck!

Busy

So good news, I passed fish! I got a job as well, wel busy. I'm sous chef the next four days, I'm stressing. My computer's broken, Thank God for my roommate or my phone would also be a goner. Trying to be positive. So hard being an adult, you have to pay for everything. I am so thankful for my parents helping me out and my Dad came to visit and stalked me up for the month with food.So much to0 do in 43 days, so little time!

Culinary Institute Creations

Here are some of the things I have made while at school. I know I have been bad at updating the blog, but I'm tryign to get back into it.

Crazy Week

I am having the craziest week this week. Tomorrow is my writing mid-term and Friday I have a management Final along with a Fish final. My teacher's fish final is the hardest test in the school. It has the highest fail rate of all classes. I am so scared, I am studying more then I ever have before. I am extremely stressed and I just want to pass everything and be done. It doesn't help my pen exploded in my whites, so now I only have one good set, or that my tape from class broke so I can't relisten to lecture. I also have a notebook due full of about twenty passages due Tuesday for writing. My friends want me to go to Maryland, but I don't think there is a way, I have so much to do! I know I won't get anything done if I go. Did I mention I start my first production kitchen on Tuesday? That means I need time lines, recipe cards, and to be prepared. I've also been sleeping a crazy amount, but I don't have time to sleep anymore, I have shit to do! That leads me to coffee, and I am trying to keep my sanity..... I needed to vent. After Friday I will feel so much better. I am going to try to get my notebooks done before Friday and maybe even my recipe cards so I can relax. That's highly unlikely. I get into he club free Saturday though, so I may blow off some steam of the dance floor. Maybe someone will throw a "DONE WITH FISH CLASS PARTY!" because I will be the first one there. Sorry for being a downer, just stressed to the maxxxxxx! By the way, here's a wolf fish! He scares me to death!

RAWR!

A Different Approach

Today I took a moment to look around and really look at myself, some serious soul searching. This Blog isn't even about food (sorry to disappoint) but about who I am, what I am, and who I am gonna be.  I just watched a movie on cyberbulling, and the girl got so upset, she tried to kill herself. The movie relates so much to me because I have had feelings like this in the past. For those of you who don't know, I have clinical depression. I feel as though I need to write about my depression. First of all, I was clinically diagnosed about a year and a half ago. I had no reason to be depressed, I just was. I first went online and did a online test, which said I had it. So I talked to my parents, they were freaked out at first but then went to my family Doctor, who subscribed Counseling and later medication which makes me feel completely normal. But during all of my depression, I had a lot of moments where I hit rock bottom. I just feel like I really need to thank everyone who helped me. First I want to thank my family, they have been nothing but supportive. They have came out to New York when my depression slips back and always are there for a helping hand. When I need to be picked back up, my family has always been there through thick and thin. I love and thank you so much. I also want to say thank you to an old friend. We don't talk anymore but I hope he reads this, because he is one of the people who saved me from my lowest moments, one of the people who saved me from myself. Luke Pritchett thank you for everything, I know we don't talk but you really have saved my life and I can never say thanks enough. I never like to bring up the past but this movie really made me want to tell everyone who helped me at my lowest times how much they really did, even if they don't know. The picture above is a current picture of healthy, happy me. I am so thankful. If anyone needs someone to talk to or need some kind of support or have any "bad" thoughts, please don't be afraid to ask me, I am so willing to help anyone. Thanks for listening. :D
