As you probably read before, I am moving to VA at the end of the year. I am completely excited about this!! There are a multitude of reasons but OMG!!! I am exceedingly excited about this bakery and all the possibilities.
So the surprising news, I told my mom about moving and the bakery and not only did she think it was a great idea, she has offered to help put me through culinary school! (I think aliens might have abducted my mother and left a replacement).The school I am looking at has a 24 week program 5 days a week, 6 hours a day for the first 16 weeks and then an externship for the last 8. It is an intensive program but I am totally into it. The cost of tuition is high but includes all the supplies, uniforms, books, equipment and everything else. I've already filled out the FAFSA and it will cover a small portion of the tuition but I will have to come up with the other $10,000. I don't know yet how much my mom is going to be able to help but I am also looking for grants and scholarships if any of my faithful readers (HA!) know of anything. The rest will be in loan form I am assuming. I tour the school on Tuesday (or maybe today if I can get an appointment. I am too excited to wait!) and assuming I get in and have the money and all, I will start in April. That means I'll finish in October which is PERFECT timing!
I got home this morning, changed clothes, turned my MP3 player on, put in my headphones and walked to the library and back, stopping for an almond croissant and vanilla steamer on the way. It has been an awesome morning and I am totally in love with everything coming right now.
Well, that's all for now, I just had to share my excitement. I am off to see a man about a horse.....or a bank about a loan (either way, right?).“Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present.” --Robert Conklin
