Have you fallen in to that slump of doing the same old things with the same people all of the time? You know, you always grab dinner and a movie with a particular friend or go get coffee with another friend. Many people fall into this trap because it feels like there’s never anything new to do but the truth is that you just need to look in new places to find new things to do with people.
For example, you might want to take a look at what’s going on at the culinary cooking schools near you. Cooking schools often hold events that the public can attend. These events may take place on the campuses of culinary arts institutes or they may be hosted by the schools at an off-campus location. They typically involve some sort of social event such as live music or performance art. And of course they always involve food.
These types of events are great to go enjoy with the people in your life because they give you something new to experience together. That’s a great way to bond more with the people you already know. These events are also great for meeting new people. In fact, many of them are designed for singles to meet one another. It’s something different and something fun so it’s something worth taking a look at.
One day last week while I was sketching my latest design in my sketch book, I had an eye opening revelation. That was the day that I made the appointment to visit the Academy of Design and Technology in Orlando.
I was sitting on the bench at the bus stop putting the finishing black and white stripes on my mock-neck halter top when this beautiful woman sat down beside me. We exchanged a cordial ‘hello’.
As I was almost done shading in the last black stripe, she said to me, “that is a very stylish top that you’ve drawn, what design firm do you work for?” With a surprised look on my face, I replied, “I work at the Mall at Millenia, here In Orlando.” She handed me her card, which had her name and the logo of a prestigious fashion design and merchandising firm, and said, “You should be working for me with that kind of talent, are you in college?” I lowered my head and said softly, “I can’t afford college.”
She looked me in the eyes and told me that her company hires most of their new employees who are graduates of a school called the Academy of Design and Technology in Orlando. She also said that they have a financial aid program that she thinks would be great for me.
Just as she was getting ready to get into her limo that had arrived, she said ‘You must have a good eye for fashion because stripes are going to be one of this summer’s hottest trends. You call me when you graduate and you will have a job.” I couldn’t stop smiling as I waved and thanked her.
Then I had realized something; I’ve been out of high school for two years and the thought of college never entered my mind because of family finances. This information could possibly change my life and tomorrow is my appointment to visit the campus. I can’t wait to begin my future in fashion design!
You might say I have the lawyer gene in me. My uncle is a lawyer; so was his father (my grandfather), and his father (my great-grandfather). Even my cousin, who did not get a law degree, works as a paralegal in his father’s (my uncle’s) office.
So as you see, I come from a family of lawyers. Therefore it should come as no surprise that when I was younger, I was interested in criminal justice. My parents always said that I argued like a lawyer, even from a young age; and in high school, I took classes in criminal justice. After high school, my interest intensified when a boyfriend of mine got in trouble with the law, and I saw how pathetic a chance he had with a public defender.
There are a lot of good schools offering degrees in criminal justice. For instance, Bethpage Briarcliffe College has an associate’s degree in criminal justice that will help get you started. I never did pursue this career choice, though — my first love was writing, and in the end that’s what I went to school for…and what I’m doing now!
The Napa region in Northern California has long been a culinary delight for those people who love to supplement their food with great wine. Unfortunately, the weather in this world is changing and people fear that global warming is going to make Napa too hot for it to continue to be this kind of hot spot. People are trying to predict where the new Napa will be if this does occur and the name that keeps coming up is Portland.
Portland already has a great reputation for good restaurants and it’s rapidly developing recognition for the wineries that have cropped up in recent years. It is now common for students attending a Portland culinary arts program to be educated in the local wine as a part of their standard course work. This seems to indicate that people who think Portland will be the new Napa may be right.
There are many similarities between Napa and Portland. They’re both located on the water. They both have a strong seafood and local food scene. And they both have some affiliation with local wines. The difference is that the climate in Portland is a little bit wetter and cooler which means it could survive through global warming for a bit longer than Napa might.
