Back To Basics!

Officially in my fifth quarter here at Sullivan!  I have just started my last lab, and this will be my last academic quarter!  Do you want to know what my first test was over?... Making stock.

This is something that every first quarter learns in basics.  I thought I would have been done with this section of culinary... but nope. Here it is, four quarters later, creating an extremely daunting test.

Right before the test, my class prepped a stock demo to show the new quarters.  Then we went and sat in on the lecture and demo, my entire class furiously taking notes.  We all knew we would be tested over it.  But I noticed some of the new quarters weren't taking notes, some were even falling asleep.

Words of warning... even though you have made something before, or think you will remember it for next weeks test, doesn't mean you shouldn't take notes.  Here I am, a full year later, really happy I have my notes from my first quarter.  This stuff will come back to haunt you if you don't prepare.

So take notes! Lots of them! We all have to go back to basics!
