i got accepted into culinary program at scottsdale community college [scc]. that's where i will go during the academic year. last tuesday, i had meeting with the culinary program director. we discussed everything. after that, she told me i will get measurement for uniforms and pick the knives you want for cooking sessions. i was like, am i accepted already? and i wanted to ask her question. yes, she said, you are accepted, welcome to scottsdale community college. i am thankful that they accepted me for culinary program. i already picked the knives what i wanted and measurement for uniforms as well.

august 25th is the first day of school. i am truly looking forward to it. i haven't been in school since fall quarter of 2005 at rochester institute of technology [rit]. i left rit the next quarter due to financial problem. and now, i am back to school again. amen! they already gave me the schedule for fall semester and mother of god, i have SEVEN classes. no worries, i am up for it. all of them care culinary courses.

my dream comes true, not yet, it's on the way. it's getting in there.

congratulations. no, i mean, mazel tov, dmitri. jeez, no!

MAZEL TOV, CHEF GADAEV!


72 more days to go. am i crazy, yes or no? :]
