over due... again!!!

i really must not leave things so long, as i forget what i have been up to!!
well, the past few weeks have been jam packed with cooking, baking and traveling, and a bit of fun thrown in here and there... oh and some exams too!!!
still having a fantastic time in london, although the weather is driving me crazy, summer just wont stay! oh well, we just have to make the most of it i guess!!!

let me try and see what i have been up to, to keep you all up to date: so im going to try and remember. it has all been so much:

Chocolate tempering, and truffles...
EXAMS: fricassee... and i have passed!!
pat exam: choux swans and eclairs!! not so cool... really wanted to get the genoise! results tomorrow, so holding thumbs!
POLO... thanks so much edward and my lovely cuzzies... was such fun, even though we got rained out! was a truly english experience!!!!

so in a nut shell ... thats that!
i have finished my first level of my course (thats if i have passed the patisserie exam, which i will know tomorrow)!!!
i honestly cant believe that 3 months are over, it has just flown past so fast. i have learnt so so much, but it feels like i still know nothing, its not until i go back and think about day on of school, and how nervous i was, and that it took me 2 hours to julienne a few carrots and leeks... and now we are producing meals and cooking, and baking real, complex looking (not so complicated to make) cakes.
i am so excited for my next level, but seriously nervous... this is where the pressure starts!
lets just hope for the best.
and im going to do my best to try and keep my blog up to date more frequently!!!
