I'm Going Away

[uberam3rica]

For a short time. But not from this site, from my home. Monday I leave to go to a college for about 5 weeks. I'm going to see if the college is right for me and if they want me there.It's kind of like a trial run. Its kind of complicated. After the five weeks I may or may not decide to go there. I'm waiting to see how I like it. The college is Called MCTI (don't ask me what that stands for, I've already forgotten) and it's a trade school in Plainwell, Michigan. While I'm there I will be studying Culinary Arts.There is internet there(obviously) so I will be checking in when I can, you guys aren't getting rid of me that easily. I'm bringing my snuff, one of my cheaper pipes, and a jar of baccy. Smoking is only allowed in certain designated areas outside, and its getting rahter cold out, so I may be snuffing more then smoking. I'll be back for Christmas, so I can't wait to see what my secret santa got me. Then not long after Christmas ill be back there. My visit ends January 13th

Congratulations on going to school, If you have access to a computer you dont have to leave "so to speak". Good luck on your studies. ::

Sweet man good luck, I wish i went to culinary school instead of for my criminology degree...kicking myself, my parents are too

Congrats hope you do well! Dropping out of electronics school is one of my few regrets.

I won't have internet in my dorm room though. However, I think the library is open 24/7 so I should be able to go on whenever

Keep an open mind to all that your presented with Ben, (I kinda think you will anyway), and above all else, enjoy the time spent at Michigan Career and Technical Institute!! (-;

 

[uberam3rica]

I think I will end up going there since my family can afford it, and cant really afford anywhere elses, but hey I keeping an open mind

 

[uberam3rica]

It would. I think I'll take that and my medico. One english one aro. Not sure though. I might just take my jar of 7 seas gold and one pipe.Oh well I'll make a decision eventually

School can be great and it will affect the rest of your life, Uber, but be willing to put in the required work. Back in the olden days when I was in college, the rule of thumb was two hours of study for every hour in class. Have fun and get your study/work habits started right away.
Just some friendly advice from an old education junkie.
Oh, and check in from time to time to let us know how you are doing.

 

[uberam3rica]

Oh, and check in from time to time to let us know how you are doing

Oh course. I plan to check in whenever I can. I wonder if I can have mail sent there? then i could get a part time job and use it for baccy and other things

 

[hobie1dog]

cooks are the hidden hero's of the world...hope you fall in love with it.

 

[uberam3rica]

I've always loved to cook. I lean more towards baking though

 

[hobie1dog]

I lean more towards baking though

I only bake one thing, a Pecan Pie, and it's a favorite of everyone that tries it. :wink:

 

[uberam3rica]

I bake whatever. I don't have a specialty

 

[buster]

Good luck and hang in there. Working in a kitchen is hard work and that ain't no lie! You seem to have a good attitude so, just roll through the rough patches. Then go smoke a bowl to chill out. I'm sure you will have some fun on your adventure!

Well I'm used to be in the kitchen I was in a culinary program in high school. Plus I work in McDonalds so I'm in the heat of the kitchen all the time. Plus Even though its McDonalds it does get kinda frantic when its busy
