Good Times....

Okay first, This is really long and I apologize if there are any typos, its almost 11 and I am sleepy. Second, all the pictures are at the end, and they are not in the same order with the stories.
Wednesday I had a friend from Provo come up to see me, and we went and hung out at the gateway. We met up with her mom, sister and brother. We went to the planetarium and saw a 3D under the sea movie. It was really fun, after that we ate and just walked around the gateway. We went to sur la table (a kitchen store) and I LOVE LOVE LOVED it. I could probably spend a ton on money there.
Friday night I spent the night at my friend Karlies house. Both of her parents, brother, and foreign exchange student were going to be gone Friday night, and her mother did not want her home alone so she asked me to stay the night. We went out to eat at Costa Vida, then we came home and made a lemon meringue pie for my grandpas birthday the next day. Then we stayed up watching movies.
Nothing to exciting happened between Friday and Monday. But on Monday we had no school, but a few kids in the class,Vanessa and Karlie, had to practice for skills USA (a competition at school), so they came in and practiced for that , and I went in so I could make some sauces I needed to make, in order to be done with the class. After we were done me, Vanessa, and Karlie decided to go to Wingers for lunch. Vanessa decided to wear my chef hat through lunch, as well has her sunglasses. It was great.
Now Today......Today was a lame day until about 5:30. I got the kitchen this morning and everything was going good. I was planning on taking my math test, so I could test out of culinary math and not have to take it anymore, after school. I started to get really nervous for my test. I was so sure I was not going to do good, so I was really stressing out. I was not in a bad mood, I was just worried about my test. At the end of school Lester (our catering manager) had a meat order come in, and on this order was a salmon. A actual Salmon, it was GROSS! But he found in humorous that I was creeped out by it, so he started taunting me with it. It was gross. Anyway, when school was over over, I went up to the math room, and told the lady that I wanted to take the test, and she said math is over for the day, I was like okay when can I take it, and she said come back tomorrow, I asked when? She said whenever. Can i come back at the same time, and she said no, math will be over. I said well I am in class from 7- 2:30 everyday, is there any time I can come after that. She said, no, can your teacher just let you leave for an hour and a half to take the test. I was like whatever that is fine. So I left all annoyed, and whatnot. As I was driving to my grandparents house I realized that the school offered night classes, so I called the school asked if they had math at night, then told them my story. And the guy said Yeah, come on in tonight between 4:30- 7:00 and you can take the test. So I went to my grandparents house and made them stew. I cut my finger cutting celery, and earlier I was just telling my teacher how much I love cutting celery because it is so much safer than cutting carrots.
I left the house and back to the school to take my test. So I went upstairs to the math room...and guess who it is...the same lady from 2:30 telling me to leave class for an hour and a half tomorrow to take the test. So she said, can I help you. I said yes, can I PLEASE take my test. She said, well you really want to take it now..... I was like YES, I have already practiced with the pretest, she said..who gave you the pre test, I said you did! and she said oh yea...well....I said can I take it? and said said WELL I'M NOT SURE YOU"LL PASS, BUT HERE YA GO! and she gave me the test. I was so mad, I can't believe she was being so dumb about giving me the test. So I sat down to take the test at 4:50, finished the test (she said to plan an hour and a half to two hours to finish) around 5:20, handed it in and said, when will I know if I passed, she looked at me and said can you come back tomorrow? I thought, are you dumb, there is not one paper here for you to grade but mine, you can tell I was anxious to get it over with, and you want me to come back tomorrow. Then she said...well...do you want to know now.... I was like yeah if you don't mined. It took her like 3 min to grade the dumb thing. I was out of the class room by 5:35. I ended up passing the test with a 90, I was so so so so happy, and I just wanted to throw something at the dumb math lady.

Oops I did it again...

First of all this is the second time typing this. I typed it all out and hit publish post, and all of a sudden it said "this page has expired", so I hit back and everything was gone, and my computer did not save it.

Okay sorry I have not blogged in a while, nothing really blog worthy has happened since then, but I will share what has happened since then.

I was moved out of bakery at school, and as a result I was put into hot foods

I have made a lot of fun food including: sweet and sour pork, chicken slavaki (chicken with a cucumber yogurt sauce), eggs benedict, reuben casserole, potato asparagus soup, friendship break, salsa, chips, chicken enchiladas.

I received two things in the mail yesterday. A package from my mom, and a wedding announcement.

I went to my cousins fiances bridal shower

I hit a bird

I had coldstone, and went out to eat at subway and goodwood.

One day I drank 128 oz of water. My water bottle at school says 32 oz on it and I filled it up four times because I was so thirsty,

Tacy helped me make computer not so slow.

I learned that my mom is flying sage out to drive home with me at the end of April.

I helped my cousin color the back of her head. It was a very fun experience, I was worried I was going to screw up somehow.

That is pretty much it for now. I can't promise there will be another post very soon, I'm not the greatest at keeping my blog up to date. But I will try.
