To my friends and associates at HDC, I have some news.

Many of you that have known me for a while now, will know also that I have developed an interest after working as a chefs assistant for a few years, that I very much enjoy cooking/food preparation - and I can say without feeling like I'm boasting about it, that I'm pretty damn good at it.

So, I've been studying at a "technical and further education" institute for a week or so now, a college type place that focuses on not only general level academic education (eg: high school) but also tertiary type courses and trades.
I'm currentlly enrolled in a writing course, out of general interest - and some basic I.T stuff too.

So - on my first day, I'm walking through the building that one of my classes is located within, and !BAM!, something smells fucking good...I figured they must've had a REALLY good cefeteria or something, then I saw it - the most beutiful sets of industrial kitchens I'd ever seen in one room, household kitchens in the next - all together there were 5 rooms, each designed for different styles and levels of cooking/food prep.
As it turned out, they were making soup...very nice.

Every day as I proceed to class, I stop at the door and watch a little from outside...nobody knows I'm there - they're far too busy. I look in, every single day, and I absolutely KNOW, without the shadow of a doubt that this is where I have to be.
I spoke of one of the teacher/chefs there last week, and I will be talking to the head teacher to negotiate being able to observe one or two of the classes.

So, I've made my mind up, here's my announcement:

As off early next year, I am going to start official studies and training to be a chef. Hell, I might even specialise eventually.
I can hardly wait to finally get to explore my full potential.
I just had to tell you guys...after years of procrastination, I've finally found direction - it's a wonderful feeling.
