Well, since I still haven’t seen a post 9/11 GI bill, I decided (or rather, the bill collectors decided) I need a reliable source of income. I decided to work at the NECI cafeteria, also known as Dewey Cafe. I just finished a double shift today, working from 6:00AM to 6:00PM. The day went by pretty fast, and I got to work on my knife skills (they are still a little rusty).
It actually turned out pretty good because some NECI chefs taught me a few things that you might not pick up on in a lecture. It was cool to see and participate in practical cooking in a production environment.
I also bumped into Chef Emma, who chatted with me and my friend about how we could possibly stick together in our 2nd mod. We’d heard that they would be splitting Mods up and mixing the people around. Two good friends in my block and I have been working great together in classes, and we work together studying and volunteering at the Humane Society. I sent an email hopefully convincing one of the faculty to keep us together during the split up. Keeping my fingers crossed!
