Hey ya'll.
I'm sorry, I haven't been blogging much because I have been doing A TON of other things; which is nice!
I have been working my BUTT off, literally, in the gym with my trainer, "The Surgeon", Luis Guzman.He is kicking my butt, I worked out with him twice already this week and thought I was going to cry when I woke up this morning. But, I am 8 lbs down, according to my scale @ home :) , and I got plenty more to go. I believe I can hit roughly 50 lbs by next year, and that is my goal.
I started studying this weekend for the Driver's Test... a lot more to come on that...but that is it for now.
I believe I have narrowed my search down for the MBA program for next year. I am leaning towards NC State and Kaplan. I am not sure which one and I have plenty of time to decided; but, I'm a planner and want to get things done ASAP.
Work is going really well. I made some awesome connections at the Pro-Start competition in South Carolina on Monday. Roughly 20 connections to be exact. I will be e-mailing them and hopefully visiting their schools come March to speak with their students. We are in the hiring process for another Admissions Representative; very excited to get someone in here to train and learn the TCA Culture. Other than that, I am focusing on getting things ready for March when we can start speaking to students and getting them enrolled for August. I think it is going to be insane and already the interest is strong. SPREAD THE WORD about The Chef's Academy!
I was very SAD, MAD, FRUSTRATED, AND DISHEARTENED today to hear about the Taco Bell crisis. All I have to say is RIP Taco Bell. I probably won't be visiting you much any more. (Plus, Luis wouldn't like me to eat that stuff anyway). This also brought me to think this morning how much I need to stop eating meats, and focus on Fish and Chicken and maybe some Turkey meat. I am going to watch Food, Inc. soon and maybe I will just become a vegetarian. Lol. The Farmer's Markets around here are AMAZING and would be easy for me to do.
Tina is coming Friday-Sunday to visit. I am so excited to see her. I can't wait till her and Katie move here so we can tear up Raleigh. Hopefully this weekend we can go explore and find some more places. I am in the love with The Flying Saucer (beer menu is huge, check out their website). But, I want to try some new places. I found this place called The Cherry Bomb, which has a great selection of beers, food, etc. I also want to check out Lilly's (amazing Pizza...or so I hear), and maybe check out Durham this week. Lots to do, and I am enjoying myself very much.
Keep in touch, and I will be posting again sometime this week. XOXO
I am so glad that you are having a great time in carolina. Have you come across the sweet carolina song at a pub or bar yet? I hear that they sing it alot at sports bars and pubs. I did not hear about a taco bell issue. Whats up with that? Here in Indy we don't pay much attention to the news stories, because as you know the chefs up here are very demanding and give lots of homework. Ha! Ha!. Can not wait to hear more about the goings on in the great state of Carolina. Recently in Chef Hamiltons 101 class we got a visit from the vice president of the school or was it the president? Well he knew who you were and said that you had been working your bootie off. He put it a lot nicer though! We told him to say high to you and to tell you that we miss you alot here in indy, and to wish you well and happy hunting for new students.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, thanks Bonnie! I really miss you guys too. I am glad to hear things are going so well for you at school. I knew you could do it. I can't wait to come home and see you graduate; that is going to be awesome! That is good to hear that someone so high in the company is saying good things about me. It really makes me feel good about what I'm doing for the students. Keep in touch :) :)
