Unsure... Cooking Class!

Well, I feel that it has been so long since I've last posted that I'm not sure of what to post.  I've still been cooking about once a week, keeping records in my Journal.  Of at least most things I've been experimenting with alone with...
A few things that I've already made once I try to repeat so as to 'master' the dish.

When I was in school I definitely had an easier time writing.  Amazing how that is.  I can write that I won't be blogging about everything...  That kinda makes me sad.

Speaking of school! I tried to register for a Cooking Class.

 I showed up to the first class right after working a 10 hour shift afraid that I would be too early.  Notice the time of the class.  I walk to the classroom after finishing my smoke and using the rest room.  
The class was packed.  I mean shoulder to shoulder, people practically sitting on top of each other packed.  It was quite a sight.
I was met by some guy holding a clip board and a crowd of people trying to get in.  The guy holding the clip board with what I learned was a waiting list said that he arrived at 0630 and almost did not get in the class.  People were lining up for the class at 0400.  That is 5 hours before class starts! Crazy! 5 hours! Full at 0630! That's 2.5 hours before class starts!
Who would have thought that going to school would be that popular!

Apparently the in thing is not to ditch, it's to show up 5 hours early!
Geez.  So much for the ideal that someone could always go back to school.  Wow.
