Monday morning, last day of stewarding. I'm going to miss it, but today I think I impressed my chef- I tried my damnedest. Today we had a lot to taste therefore a lot to prepare. As I was running around trying to make everything perfect I realized one steward didn't show up at all and the three others were in the back doing their jobs. I was the only steward in the "front of the house". I kept trying to finish what I was doing to go back and help them but the chef kept asking me to do more things up front- I was very pleased with myself. I felt accomplished and like I was getting things done. Oh! We also had a quiz today in product knowledge, I was the first one done and I feel confident about my answer.
I updated my resume today and checked my CIA email, every student has one. Along with all the club information and campus wide emails, students are also emailed unique job offers. One time deals, that pay well, and normally end on a weekend. In my excitement I applied for three. One wedding, one engagement party, and one food and wine festival. The wedding accepted me as a server and the so did the food and wine festival, in fact the food and wine festival was so excited that I applied early I was put on for two days instead of just one. I am still awaiting confirmation on the engagement party. The best part of these opportunities is you a) get your name out there b) get your face out there c) get better experience and pay than an on campus job and d) get to manage your own hours. I feel like I'm my own boss and very excited for my freedom.
In math we got our first test results back and I only missed 2. The last one that I completely guessed on (after my calculator decided to ruin our years of friendship in the last two problems of my test) and the other was one that I had actually worked out two different ways and got the same answer. I wish I could have gotten the actual test back to see how I went wrong. Today was also carrot day. We got to play with the yield you loose when preparing food. We did this by weighing carrots as bought then after trim and peeling. Turns out everyone got near a 80% yield. Fascinating.
My easy day (because I was done with my classes) soon turned to frustration. I researched my externship information and instead of that calming me I panicked. I felt like I still had so much to do and so little time. I caught up with my laundry and organized my room. Cleaning makes me feel like my life is in much more order than it actually is.
