My first day!

Woohoo! I just completed my first day at LCB! It was orientation for the first day. First, we had a lecture on the rules and general information about the school. Then, all the students introduced ourselves by name and said what country we were from and what we will be studying. Most people are here for patisserie. Only four other people (out of about 50) are in the Le Grand Diplome programe with me, so I feel glad to be in it.

It's pretty cool to have a diverse class. A handful of people from the states, a few from Saudi Arabia, Canada, Mexico, Philippines, Taiwan, Ireland and just one person from France. Of course I chickened out at the last minute and introduced myself in anglais (bad! but almost everyone did).

Then, we received our knife kit! Oh la la! Way too exciting. We also received our uniform and got settled in our lockers. Finally, we toured the school so we knew where to go. Yay! Of course, since I'm so charming, I made some friends and we are meeting later to scope out a cafe or bar to become regulars since there can be huge gaps in between classes.

Voila! The knife kit I've been waiting for.



Tomorrow: the first day of classes! A full day, 8am - 6:30pm. I start earlier than everyone else because I will be a chef's assistant this week : )
