year ender memo

i've been meaning to write but just haven't gotten my thoughts together... well, 'til now. days have been mostly solitary confinement to my bed and a certain attachment to the idiot box. i can't wait for this year to be over. i hate bumming. especially when it's not on a beach somewhere. my year ender poker game was fun. won a bit over two grand so i'm happy. i've got this teeny weeny bankroll that's gonna sustain me for a few more games next year. :)
i'm actually looking forward to my compre exams. that final rung on the ladder that's gonna gauge two years of kitchen toil and burnt food. hahaha. then i'll be off to some hotel, or restaurant, or HOPEFULLY a test kitchen, for 200 hours of sweat and grease. and before i know it, i'm outta there. finally. it's been two long years. i can't wait for life to get started. it might not seem it but i'm restless. i never thought i'd get to that stage, when you just can't wait for the curtains to part.
