Hi All,

So let me start off by saying I am not a blogger. This is my first attempt. I thought it would be interesting to chronicle my attendance at the French Culinary Institute, Pastry Arts. For those of you who don't know me, let's just say I'm a girl who enjoys the sweeter things in life and thought the only way to enjoy the rest of this life was to explore my creative side in Pastry Arts.

Today was Orientation day, I was so excited, I couldn't get there fast enough. I was as restless as a kid the night before Christmas and did not get enough sleep last night. Needless to say I was dragging. Thank goodness I thought to grab some caffeine before the presentation actually started. The A/C was busted in the amphitheater and I would have fallen asleep for sure without the extra buzz to keep me going. Not to say the presentation was boring, it wasn't it was just ridiculously hot in NYC today.
We met just about everyone who works behind the scenes at the school, student services, deans, advisors etc. I am also really excited because there are students in my class from all over the world, Hong Kong, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico to name a few countries, not to mention states across the union.
I won't bore you with any more details about the presentation, just know that they covered all the logistics and we are now well oriented and ready for our first day...which is Thursday.
Oh and I got my uniform (three uniforms to be exact) today. And just to show you how nerdy this would be pastry chef is, all 3 uniforms are washed and ready to go. I'm sure I'll have my locker bag packed before Wednesday night as well.
So for now I promise to be as interesting as possible and share pictures...they actually encourage us to bring along a camera for the journey and take photos of what we create.

Take care of U!
