As Martin Luther put it...I have a dream!

Last night Amanda and I went to Kristin's Tupperware party. It was my first time going to a Tupperware party and overall I enjoyed myself. I really love the products and think it's great how they make everyday preparation and cooking easy and more efficient. And of course I agreed to have my own party in February which I am super excited about. I can't wait to get free stuff!

Today, Amanda was also nice enough to accompany me to the Art Institute of Michigan's open house. Ever since I was little, I was interested in cooking and loved learning all about it. I grew up watching Urban Peasant and Julia Child on TV. I would even have my own cooking shows in my kitchen when mom wasn't looking. I was really impressed with the look of the campus, the kitchens, and the enthusiasm of the faculty and the overall atmosphere of the college. We got to check out the student run restaurant and the international classes they offer.  I definitely got the impression that the college was willing to help students with everything from explaining and applying for financial aid, to finding grants and scholarships, to assisting students with finding the right program to suit their needs, to giving students the resources to achieve their dreams. Your first day of class, you get started right in the kitchen cooking, doing all the hands on stuff first. Then after that, you worry about working on your general requirements, which I like. I am looking forward to my one on one meeting to sort out all the details and get started on my application and financial aid. I am excited that I am taking something I am interested in and something that I think comes natural to me, and incorporating that into my professional life. I am exceptionally excited to learn about the management and marketing aspect of the culinary world!

Gotta Start Somewhere!

Wednesday night Amanda and I attended 313 Digital's Auto Show VIP party at Via Nove in Ferndale.  It was a lot of fun. There were friendly faces, amazing food, and good drinks. I've never been to Via Nove before and I was really impressed with the classy look of the restaurant, staff, and overall atmosphere. I look forward to attending more events for 313 Digital, meeting new faces, and learning more about the digital world of marketing! Ferndale is awesome and I really like the downtown area. Mental note: See what the city has to offer and check out events and local businesses.
