Final 1

Tonight we took our Cost Control final. I am so glad that class is done and over with. After the final I headed over to English and an hour later class started. We didn't really do much in English though. We just broke off into groups to study and mostly chat.

Tomorrow is going to be a long day though. Tomorrow is the certification exam for cost control which starts at 2 PM. If the exam starts at 2 that means I need to leave the house by 1PM. The exam goes until 4 even though I won't need that long and then I will have nothing to do until 6 PM. We managed to convince our English teacher to start the final at 6:15 since we are just taking attendance in cost control. Our teacher is telling us that the final is only going to be 8 questions long but we shall see. I am really hoping to be out of that test by 7. An early night would be nice.

Vague Drama

A couple of days ago my phone exploded from a message the school sent out. I received 2 emails, 2 voicemails, and a text message all letting me know the same thing. A student threatened the school. They expelled the student, notified the police department, and have enhanced security at the school. I assumed they just added more security guards at the school. Boy was I wrong.

Today I got to school and discovered that all the entrances except for one had been disabled. Now all students have to go through the one entrance. Its really annoying since the entrance isn't close to my current classes or where I park.

Once I got into school I also quickly realized that it is also the only exit. They taped all the doors with caution tape and put up signs notifying students to proceed to purchasing and receiving to exit the building.

Now the exit thing actually causes more problems because of breaks. By the time we make it to the one exit its time to go back to class. Overall it doesn't really affect me since I stay in the classroom during breaks, but it really affects the plethora of smokers at school. They seemed to be the biggest complainers about the new security measures.

Personally speaking though I dont see how this is going to prevent anything since the original threat came from a student. We are all dressed the same and cary the same badges that grant us access into the school. All this is really doing is making things inconvenient for the students that didnt make a threat. On the bright side though my Foundations 3 chef instructor told me after class that this is just for 2 months and then everything goes back to normal. Hopefully it will go back to normal sooner than that though.

Also a quick update on my classes. My cost control final has been moved to Wednesday and my English paper has been moved to Thursday and opened up to any topic so long as it is a persuassive paper. I am so thrilled that the paper has been extended but annoyed about the cost control exam. Oh well Just qanother day in the life of a culinary student.
