I figure I better jot this down somewhere, put it out there and have as many people in the 'know' as to make sure I am held accountable for my plans.
I want to get out of the cube farm. I love helping people and sending them on vacation but really, that's not what I yearn. I CRAVE something more and I think it is about damned time I start doing something outside of feeling sorry for myself.
So I don't have my degree. I don't have my AoS in Culinary Arts because I got kicked out two weeks before graduating. That's TWO fucking weeks and I went through the whole goddamned program. I'm stuck with a 50k bill for a degree I never got and I'm not doing SHIT with the knowledge I acquired and my dreams are just rotting away in that stupid little cubicle while I send people off on *their* dreams.
I'm not going to throw away those two years of my life because I missed fourteen fucking days.
I'm fat. I'm out of shape. I can hardly stand an hour in front of a stove in my own teeny little kitchen. But ya know what? I love it. My heart soars when I'm busy doing what I love.
So, FUCK YOU naysayers and SCREW you CCA for making me feel like garbage. I'm not paying you another 11k to repeat the stupid internship. Instead, I'll make it back out there and I *will* proceed in owning my own bistro. It will take time and it will take patience but one step at a time, no?
..
If I can't leave the cube farm by Dec 2010 altogether, I'll still be cooking for people, even if it means making wedding cakes from my own kitchen or catering small parties. Because, goddamnit, I have to start somewhere.
