The start of spring term

I don't know if I'm happy or sad about the fact that JWU has Spring Break at the end of February. It's nice because I graduate a little before some people, but it sucks because a lot of my friends start their spring break the day that I have to come back... Oh well... not much I can do about it.

Anyway, I started Principles of Beverage Service today. First day, I learned how to free pour (pouring the proper amount of liquor without measuring), what I need to do to set up the bar for class, some history on alcohol, that the blenders we have in the class cost about $2500 and can turn pebbles into a puree, and how to make espresso and cappuccino. Greatest part about the class though, the instructor is awesome! She has got to be one of the coolest teachers I've ever had. She basically said that she pities those of us that are under 21 because we can't drink legally. lol

Anyway, the cool part about JWU is that Beverage has a beer tasting on the second day of class and both Beverage and Dining Room have a wine tasting on the 5th day of the class (Each class is only 9 days, but they're also 6 hours per day). You may ask, "How can they do that when there are so many students under 21?" the answer: they got special permission which allows 4 oz tasting portions of alcohol. Funny part is, they give us, like... five 4oz portions. hahaha.

So yeah, I'm excited for tomorrow, because the instructor said that there's a great selection of beer for the beer tasting. I have a feeling that I'm gonna be feeling pretty damn good by the end of that. :p


Well, that's about all I can think of to share today... I'll try to be better about keeping this thing updated... TTFN!
