OK, so we're gonna have to call off the hounds.

I'm not going to culinary school anytime soon. Why? Well, after talking and thinking and praying, I don't believe it's the right thing to do at this moment. I'm also leaving my position at the coffee shop, and going back to a tech job. In fact, I've already sent out two copies of my resume.

What??

Yeah. I still believe that I'm to end up in culinary school sometime, and open my own bakery at sometime, but not right now. I don't know when, just not right now. The last 6 months have been for me an awesome time of taking a step back and looking at myself again from a fresh perspective, a time to rediscover who I am and what I'm passionate about.

Now I know some of you are thinking that my girlfriend might have something to do with this. You would be partially right. But this is about more than a girlfriend, and she understands that. She's just happy that I'm not going to New York, and I certainly can't fault her for that. ;-)

Bottom line, don't come kicking my bum just yet. There is a slim possiblity I may make it into culinary school in the next 2 years, but don't count on it.

A funny thing life is, full of surprises. Makes it fun. :-)

I think everyone should take a 6-month sabbatical every 5 years. It's nice to be able to just take a step back, take a deep breath, and take control again.

Some of you have been bugging me about not blogging enough. OK, one of you has been bugging me about not blogging enough (you know who you are). Well, there's a reason for that: for the last almost 4 weeks, I've been severely distracted by a certain brown-eyed girl (not that I'm complaining).

She was working at the coffee shop when I started there about 8 months ago, and we got to be really good friends. Apparently over the last few months, everybody (regular customers included) thought we were already together or should be, but no one bothered to tell us. Predictably, now that we are together our relationship proves to be rather newsworthy.

So who is she? She's a graphic designer and an astoundingly talented artist. She has lively brown eyes and a bright smile. We're so much alike that it's kind of creepy sometimes. And most importantly, she knows how I like my hot chocolate. :-)

What about culinary school? I'm not sure yet. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I knew going into this relationship that it would complicate things with respect to school. But I decided, "Why not?" Besides, there's lots of work for graphic designers in New York. ;-)
