so i was thinking about this in the shower, as i was composing a note i want to email the dean. i hadn't heard from him so i logged in to the school website to see if my schedule was posted. it was. sans european cuisine. the class i tried to test out of. so now i have to take ONE class next Q. WTFGDH? this makes me angry. i'm more than willing to come in as an independant study in any of the other classes to get this shit overwith. and if the class wasnt going to be offered, why not tell me 11 weeks ago? when you prolly had an inkiling you werent going to offer it? and if thats the case, you need to hire more staff. because this shits is old. real old. and they wonder why i'm only on campus for class. this is why. you've never accepted me, the chefs give me sideways glances, and chef sy ignores me. i'm sorry, but after being in this business since i was 17, i dont kiss ass anymore. i REFUSE. i'm sick of all of them thinking they are the shit. dont get me wrong, chef sy works tirelessly for the students. but when as a student, you are singled out, by actions and inactions, it makes for a crappy experience. i've offered my services as an alum and been ignored. i'm really only finishsing because i'm this close to my degree. i'd much rather own my own place or do something else. because i'm tired. sick and tired of the crap.
and when i say actions, i mean, even tho i wasnt mentioned by name, a classmate told me that in one of his classes, a chef a mentioned a student who tried to test out of a class, and what was that person thinking. in a conversation with said chef after my failure, he expressed the opinion that i had changed disciplines. to which i had to free him of that notion and say, no, i'm in the bachelors program, i am a pastry chef, and i'm only here because corporate america requires me to have a BA, even with my years of exp. so no i dont appreciate that. its not anyones business, unless i make it so. i told two people. you told an entire class and used me as an example. i felt humiliated. now i feel just anger.
and with that, i'm off to work my first labor day in 8 years.
