Food? or Teeth?

"You must do what you love," she said, "Or you risk the chance of doing nothing."


I met with the admissions director for the Portland Art Institute Culinary programs today. She was great, and very helpful. The power went out in downtown P-town today, so besides the in-the-dark tour I took of the "kitchens" the experience was a lot less intimidating then I thought it would be. I actually love the location of the school, the atmosphere, the program layouts, everything. I told her I would have a decision by monday, but I'm 99% sure that Pastry school is where I'm heading.

I think that I could be really great as a dentist but will I be happy... I don't think so.

Now my big debate is, Pastry and Baking dipolma? Culinary Arts Associates? or Culinary Management Bachelor's Degree? I'm leaning more towards the baking and pastry degree, mainly because I'm sure I would like that... but.... The nice thing about the baking degree is that if I decide at the end of my program that I'd like to do the associates, or bachelor's degree I can transfer into either program and almost all of my credits will transfer. Which is super super cool.

Lots to think about this weekend.
