So a new semester is just about to begin. I've got my classes all lined up for early registration monday and I'm super excited. Political philosophy was the one class this semester that both enlightened and depressed me. I'm barely squeaking out a B in that class and may end up with a C at the final but what a great teacher and wonderful experience. Having studied everything from Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and the three waves of modern philosophers I've gained a huge appreciation for Rousseau for one and see why the west is fucked up and beautiful in so many ways.
This term, I'm finally doing what it is I'm going to school for and taking Culinary principles, baking, food service accounting and Français (mais, bien sûr !) and am looking forward to a lot less homework and more laboratory/kitchen work. I get the chef's coat and only have a couple semesters before I either go to Cal POLY or Cordon Bleu!
Just over 3 weeks I'm heading back to Paris to see my little girl, check in on my investment in a Rock climbing gym, and hopefully hang out with a few friends Scentauri for one. Hope all of my AMERICAN friends had a happy manifest destiny day! It still bothers me a little that we celebrate a lie perpetuated that the native americans saved our asses when in fact we took all of their land and drove them into reservations. May have something to do with being partially American Indian, myself... but who knows.
I've cut down majorly on smoking and will be quitting in the next few weeks as my best friend and I made a pact to quit before our birthdays. He's already stopped for a month and I'm still waiting. I can find an excuse to keep smoking and a reason to do it, but this time is for good. Last time I stopped for 7 years, wish me luck!
