Top Chef NY! Season ender of CSI!! And BAGUETTES!!

Soooo...TOP CHEF WILL BE IN NEW YORK NEXT!! That is SUPER EXCITING. I wonder when it will begin airing?

Also, I know it's four months late, but...I seriously squealed when he got shot (I watched a rerun of it on CBS tonight). I knew he was leaving the show following Ms. Fox, but that is a gruesome (and very open-ended!) way to leave the show. So sad. But my sexy CSI Nick is still there! ^_^

Aaaaand.....breads week is this week, and we made baguettes. :) Too bad that "Glory Walk" took up some of our precious time (students who had their last class before their externships today walked a lap around school while a bunch of people applauded them as they passed by), because at least two thirds of us left waaaay past 8 (thanks to Chef Renee for sticking around!), including me. I only hope that I was able to get Kelly, aka Birthday Girl, home in time for Grey's Anatomy. Haha! Oh well. Although I had to wrap the baguettes while still warm (thus making the crust not as crunchy), Van and I had a very soul-soothing dinner of pieces of baguettes ripped off from the loaf dunked in anything we had on hand: leftover coq au vin from work at Williams-Sonoma and some green beans and bacon that Tin sauteed earlier. Dessert consisted of Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Honey Bee ice cream and some chocolate chip cookies I had made a couple days ago. It took all my strength to fight the food coma and get my butt showered and in bed like a good girl :)


So tomorrow will be chock-full of Safety-Sani Certification goodness, as well as shokupan (Japanese dinner or white bread..I haven't quite decided if i wanna throw in some raisins and swirl in some cinnamon) and either melonpan or pizza dough...I'm thinking the melonpan, though. Oooh, it's a shame I didn't plan this out earlier, because if I'm making melonpan, I could also make anpan. Unfortunately, anko takes a buttload of time to make. Oh well, maybe another time. :)

I feel uneasy.

I'm supposed to be studying for Safety and Sanitation right now (final today, certification exam tomorrow), but I can't focus on anything right now. I keep thinking about my knitting project, about the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend (I know, I know, it's 2 whole months away.. >.<), about what might happen in March, about what to do for my externship...the list goes on and on like the Energizer Bunny.

I haven't been getting much proper rest... I almost inevitably fall asleep on the couch sometime after I get home after 8pm, and then wake up to take a shower any time between 1 to 3am, then either fall asleep right away, or stay up for another hour or two because I'm too wired from my "nap". Then I either have to wake up for work, or just wake up fairly early anyway, since I tend to be a light sleeper in the morning. I don't think things will normalize for me any time soon, though. I guess I need to work on making that happen myself.

Communicating with the one person that matters the most to me right now is very difficult since he is now without cellphone, so whatever healing powers talking with him had is now diminished and made more difficult since all we have now is Skype. And the only way for that to work is if we're both online and ready to talk at the same time.

But, yes. Gripe, moan, complain, repeat. I know. I don't have it all bad. I'm just a little bit overwhelmed right now. But just as one of the greatest movies on earth has taught me, the Universe tends to unfold as it should. It just won't stop me from worrying/being emo all the time. :P
