BACK TO SCHOOL

Okay so school has started again! Unfortunately I have classes on fridays now, which I usually work on fridays. unfortunately that is the only day that I really work. so I think I am going to have to discontinue my employment for the time being. which isn't a very good thing because I really need money. being a student doesn't pay the bills and it takes a lot of money to keep a healthy mind.

I was able to add JAP 2, which is great because I really need to learn this language fast! My teach seems alright... she does seem a little more intense than Tatsugawa sensei but maybe that will force me to learn faster. I am also taking a fresh English class which is kind of boring and I have not yet decided wether I like the Teacher or not. luckily I only have to be there 3 days a week, for an hour each session. so I won't really have to see her face too much. I just have to make sure I do the work and research regardless of how she teaches. I am also enrolled in a audio production class, which seems boring yet informative. I am happy to be taking the class but I can't help but wish that I had chosen something more exiting to put between these two seemingly tumultuous classes. but I guess I would rather just get this stuff done.

In other news I have been cook, cook, cooking!

I made seitan the last two nights, last night I made blood orange flavored "beef" with Ramen. It was pretty good. I still don't feel that I have made a good enough soup base for my Ramen. and I don't think I will cook the noodles in the broth anymore. there seems to be a starchy quality to my latest Soups which I blame on the noodles. I still have a lot a seitan left from yesterday and I think today I will attempt a soy house beef dish. I feel like rice today anyway.

tonight I am supposed to go see some band my mom likes in Lake Forest called "THE SHOEMAKER BOTHERS" I wasn't amazed by the songs on their MYSPACE profile but I decided to go and see how their live show holds up. because a lot of people seem to like them.

I really want to make a video blog too but I probably wont get it posted until tomorrow.

so on that note I would like to show you a special trick that I learned last night..

Please enjoi!
