Well, I just finished my finals in my Baking 1 class. I think I did pretty well even though some of my dishes didn't come out quite as good as I wanted. One day of written exams and three days of cooking. I get to find out tonight just how I did. We have to go in to clean the kitchen and conduct exit interviews as usual when we finish a class and they give us our final grade. My cooking projects this time were Brioche a Tete, Lemon Meringue Tart, Strawberry Shortcakes, and Croissants along with the practical skills exam. The tart was the only one I was satisfied with, though I might have overcooked the crust ever so slightly. The brioche got a little too dark on the "tetes" while not being dark enough on the bodies. The croissants were also too dark and might have been underdone inside, and the shortcakes didn't puff up the way I would have liked. But these were all fairly minor flaws except being underdone on the croissants. Though it was slight, being underdone may have cost me a letter grade on the item. I guess I will find out tonight.
I found out last night that our class is being split up. The school had a policy of keeping classes together thoughout the program, but has apparently changed it's policy. There are only three or four people from my class who will be in my class next term. Unfortunately, Brandon isn't one of them. He would have been, but the girl he rides with was transferred to a different class, so he requested to be changed as well. Now that I will know almost no one in my class, I'm thinking of requesting a change to the afternoon schedule. Lab classes are noon to five and I would take the academics in the morning. That would leave me to be home in the evenings and I would get to see my wife a bit more. I have to make the request today, since classes start on Monday, but I've got a couple of hours to think about it.
{{HUGS}} for anyone who wants one.
Think good thoughts,
