Fall Quarter

It is September and the break is over. The new quarter has started and I hope it will be a good one. I am taking a History of Film class as my Humanities  requirement and I am excited to learn about movies and how they influence society. I waited until the fall quarter because I did not want to spend my weekends inside watching movies over the summer. This will be perfect. I hope I will be able to keep up with the viewing and my homework and my job. Hopefully not all movies will be two or three hours long! We will see how that works out. I am also hoping that I will be able to watch some of them on YouTube (the older ones are posted by the Library of Congress for example). Some of the movies I own, and maybe the public library has the rest.
Sullivan also offers a welcome week movie, and a movie club (do we still have it?).

It doesn't feel like work when you are having fun!

I just finished my second quarter at Sullivan University and I love it here! I am a baking and pastry arts major so this quarter I finally got to get my feet wet in my baking courses! Baking Fundamentals is a great entrance course for the baking students and a great overall course for the culinary people!

Here are the pictures from my finals a couple weeks ago! Hope everyone's break is going well! See everyone soon for the Winter Quarter 2014!

dining room services

Hope everyones quarter went well, I know mines was a successful end. I wanted to share what I had learned this quarter about dining room table services. In this class I learned to set up a service set and set the table. I also learned how to pour wine in a wine glass. This class was very siteful and I hope you culinary folks enjoy this class just as much as I do!

Wrapping Up

School is winding down now.  Today I shook hands with my chef, as I handed in my exam and took back my graded binder, and realized that I was done.  Eleven weeks of classes.  Over.  Tomorrow I will do the same with my Spanish teacher, and my math teacher the day after that. It seems really amazing to me that eleven weeks have gone this quickly.  It seriously seems like last week we were all groggily dragging ourselves into lab at seven in the morning, commenting at the inhumane time this lab was hosted, and that there is no way we could continue all quarter at this time.  Well, here we are.  All done.  Last test taken.  Lab cleaned.  And a whole new quarter to look forward to.

For the new students starting this fall, remember how long your first quarter at college feels.  (I remember mine felt like it dragged on for ages).  Because the longer you are here, the shorter they get.  My next quarter will be gone in the blink of an eye and then I will be moving back to my beloved Michigan, and college will be over for me.   So, remember what it's like, and even though school is wrapping up, keep seeking out new and exciting memories to keep forever!

Chef Shadow

This past Friday, some of the other ambassadors and I got to work with three chefs conducting a the Chef Shadow program that Sullivan puts on from time to time!  It was a really neat experience to see how the students reacted in an environment, that I deal with all the time, for the first time.  The kitchen can be a very loud, very hectic place.  It is also a lot of fun!

At first, these students were a little petrified.  Some of their hands were shaking, which made me a little nervous because we were handing them knives, but after just a few hours I watched their attitudes change.  They went from scared and nervous, to confident and proud of the food that they put on the table for lunch.

I remember being like that, only one short year ago, and Sullivan has really helped my confidence in the kitchen!  I hope it can do the same for some of these kids!
