My Amazing Week

File:Louisville Slugger Field.JPG
This has been a great week for me so far, I just got my first job here in Louisville, KY at Louisville Slugger Field, which is where the Triple A team Louisville Bats play, as a Panini Cook. It should be a great experience for me with a great company for me as I begin to work my way up. My first day is actually tomorrow night versus my hometown team, Toledo Mud Hens, so hopefully it will be a great game. 

Also today in Garde Manger class, which is a cold foods class, we took a field trip to a local food purveyor. At Mattingly Foods we learned how beef and pork is broken down. we also learned about the history of the company as well as the several partners of Mattingly Foods.

Overall my week has been going very well and I expect it to keep getting better.

Until next time-

Spring?

With spring break bringing nothing but snow here in Louisville and the cold weather continuing it can be hard to believe that it is actually spring. I am looking forward to the day where I can walk outside without a jacket and be comfortable. I know though that as soon as that happens that I wont want to be inside and getting school work done and concentrating will be just that much harder. I guess I will have to plan my life accordingly. Good Luck!

Spring Break

Panama Beach!
My best friend Amanda!
This has been on the of the most challenging quarters ever. I started my bachelors program, worked two jobs and was doing work with the team. They key to being successful is always putting school first and that seemed to work out well for me! Ended my first quarter of my bachelors with a 4.0! In a little less than a month, my friends and I will be walking the stage to receive our diplomas for our associates degree! I am so excited and can not wait! However, I know it will be a bittersweet moment because a lot of my friends are heading back home for good!
I had the opportunity to go on my first spring break vacation this year! We just got back from Panama City Beach! It was amazing! I love being in college and having so many different opportunities to do things I have never done before! :) I can only imagine what the rest of my journey in college will be!

Open House!

Open House turned out to be a great success! I hope everyone learned and accomplished what they needed to and above all had fun! I got to learn the ropes of being an Ambassador and get in some bonding time with my fellow Ambassadors!

Maria Salazar and myself before the tours began!

Hope you are having a great day!

The Business Life

Hard to believe this quarter is almost over! I feel like we all just started!! This was a tricky quarter for sure. Between Accounting exams and Business Law homework I had my hands full. Business law was definitely not what I expected. It's a very interesting class that plays tricks on your mind and teaches you things about a business and the world that you never even thought of. Its a tricky class but it definitely prepares you for the business world. So far so good though! -Bryce P

Time flies when you are having fun!

WOW! I cannot believe it is already the time to sign up for next quarter's classes. I cannot wait to meet those of you who will be new this year to come. However this past week we learned about glueten free desserts as well as Virginian Butter Cookies. I am also working very hard on the Culinary Arts Competition Team we are very busy getting ready for the Regional American Culinary Federation competition. So wish us all luck. Again, cannot wait to meet you all.
