Sorry for the long pause between posts! But thank you to everyone who has still been coming on and checking out my blog. From my side, I can see exactly how many people visit the blog page per day, and what link they are using that I have posted on various sites.

Anyway, there has been a long pause in posts because last week was the final week of my winter trimester at school. I finished my last lab of my Culinary Arts Degree, which was Advanced Dining Procedures, went to an internship orientation, and moved out of the dorms until next school year!
I finished my Advanced Dining Procedures class with an A, securing my third trimester in a row achieving Dean's List!

My internship orientation was also just as exciting for Emma and myself. We received our insurance cards, just in case, our daily procedures and responsibilities, an explanation of what would happen if we get fired, which won't happen, and our homework assignment.

Our homework is a series of 28 journal entries that must be submitted throughout the three month internship. Since I have this wonderful blog, you all will be lucky enough to get to read those assignments as well. They will be posted on the pages section of the blog, upper right hand corner, in sequential order. The entries ask various questions about communication, collaboration, professionalism, cost management awareness, organizational skill, and safety and sanitation skills. It will be an additional low down of what I am doing everyday at the Burg Staufeneck.

By the way, this is what it looks like right now in Germany.  >>>>>


 Lastly, the excitement of my week ended with packing up and moving out of the dorms. Mom drove down early Friday morning to pack everything up and put it in the car. My roommate April was very distraught that Emma and I were leaving. But she will not be forgotten, and the time will pass, then maybe we can be roommates again next year. As a nice little treat, Mom and I stopped for lunch before the 4.5 hour trip back home, to my new personal favorite restaurant, 100 Montaditos. We chose 10 tapas sandwiches and cut them in half to experience the most possible. Mom really enjoyed them. In fact, I am currently trying to convince her to buy a franchise and open it here on the beaches! I believe it would be a huge success!
