South for the Winter
The thing I dislike the most about the northeast is the weather. Sure, autum is nice with the colourful leaf changes and all, but that basically means thaty everything is getting ready to die in preparation for the winter. As Bill Bryson mentioned in his book, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, in New England it's either winter, winter's just past or winter's coming. Utterly depressing.
So, I'm going down to Miami to live with my mother until the holidays while I participate in the Culinary Business Academy Personal Chef training program. I get to avoid winter, I get to spend some quality time with my family and I'm getting a head start on my dream career. The course normally costs $2,500 if you do the course at one of their main campuses, but they are a fraction of the price if you do them at one of their affiliate campuses - two of which are in southern Florida.
When did I come up with this idea? Yesterday. When did I decided to actually do it? Today. I called my mother yesterday and ran the idea by her and talked it over with Will. Today we decided it was the best choice and I registered for the class this morning.
Sometimes the best decisions are those made with haste.

Yo Yo W&A,
Cooking? That sounds cool.. not so sure about the warm weather though. I think I could do with a dose of winter (maybe just a little dose though, like a Melbourne winter which really is more like an autumn or something).
Don't you hate it when people use comments as if it is an email, and just start writing about their lives instead of responding to the blog entry? annoys the sh't out of me. so everytning in sri lanka is going well, work busy, and about to head home. not enough field trips, but that's all about to change as i will be spending two of next three weeks on road. yay.
take care, enjoy cooking.. and bake me a cake.
