CUPCAKE

BECKEE IS MAKING ME WANT
A CUPCAKE RIGHT NOW
.....CHECK IT OUT PEOPLE.

My cute little friend Beckee has made a plan to bake a different cupcake every week for a year! She is up for the challenge and my stomach is ready for taste testing. She is going to blog about her experience baking the cupcake as well as other people's reactions to her creations. This sounds so exciting and mouth watering!

I have always been interested in baking and becoming a pastry chef. I think you can be so creative and experiment with many flavors and combinations of sugars/spices. I grew up in a household where everything was made from scratch. It's something that I cherish because I will be able to share that with my own family someday.

Sometimes we have different passions in our life that we do not pursue as careers. I'm not saying that I will never dip into the pastry industry, but it is definitely an option to keep in mind!

I do not know about you, but talking about dessert has made me hungry!

Cheers to you all,

Little late on the post, but welcome back Second Semester!

So the semester has begun and it is already busy. With two tours a week, I'm finding it hard to find time to blog, but I'll try to keep all you lovely people posted about my life.

Right now I have classes Monday through Thursday and my internship on Fridays. I am interning with the private events manager and Mooo.... Restaurant. It has been a blast so far. We are planning many events for the next few months and I have been learning a lot about networking and multitasking with clients.

Alternative Spring Break is a little more than a month away and we are already having our meetings. It seems like a great group of students, all eager to head down and help out in Mississippi. We had a great discussion yesterday about the difference between socialism and capitalism. It is very hard to debate because I am partial to both sides. Thinking about one of the big social problems in the world, housing, has gotten me thinking how hard it would be for me to not have the basic necessity of a home. I don't know if I could physically drop everything and sacrifice it all. I have been very fortunate for the things that I have and want to help out others who are not as fortunate.

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
-- Albert Schweitzer

Cheers to all,
