This has to be one of the most challenging associate degree progams there is. About the time you think you have conquered one aspect or part of your fear something else comes along to knock you down. I feel like a bowling pin & April keeps getting strikes! LOL! The baseball assignment took a lot out of us, we all struggled w it & gave it a lot of effort & time. Then to have fusion cooking in the same week, turkey is my favorite & I may never eat it again. To add insult to injury we get to voice for the first time. You would think that we would know this piece inside & out, but you get in front of that video camera & your brain goes on overload & he could be signing in Korean for all I know. Then to just bring it all full circle Miss Ruby volunteers us all to interpret for real. The look on all of our faces, I have never seen a room turn pale. It isn't just our skill level, it is knowing that we represent Ruby & April as students. There is also the fact that Ruby gets perverse pleasure out of watching us sweat. I know she wants us to get better & there is only one way to do it, you have to DO IT. We have been confronted w & made our way through a lot this week.
We all have our personal struggles as well, illness in our families, send out positive thoughts. Trying to be a good friend, but feeling like you are getting a little taken advantage of & having chaos in your home. For me, I get to go home & pack up my posessions & leave my keys on the coffee table of what I thought was my home. I will drive away from the only life that I have ever known & security. I am trying to look @ it as a new beginning, not an ending. I have had the whole world open up to me. Just time to get some closure on a 14 year chapter of my life.
Happy Freakin' Fusion Cookin' Turkey Day!
