1. Let Them Eat Cake - The cake design competition held in Philadelphia for professionals, students, and amateurs. This year’s theme is Under the Big Top. And my design includes a lot a lot a lot of pastillage work. And I’ll probably cry. A lot.

2. Get a new job. Sweet Ending’s inability to give me more than 20 hours a week just isn’t cutting it. I have rent to pay, school supplies to buy, and a trip I need to keep saving up for. Hopefully Saturday’s interview at Chipotle proves to be promising.

3. Finish my menu for my Sustainable Purchasing and Cost Control class. 8 dessert entrees, 2 drinks, 2 savory appetizers, a soup with 2 garnishes, a cheese board, and pricing them all out from buying, to producing, to selling. Great knowledge, tons of work.

4. First Friday with Emily! We have so many great ideas, and I can’t wait to embark upon them.

5. Find warm casual boots for traveling. I have winter boots but I don’t want to lug them around when I’m not wearing them. And my Raynauds makes it difficult to wear just regular walking shoes. I need warmth. Bah!

6. Visit Ithaca! Andrew wants me on his show to teach people how to bake in college. And! I get to see the people I miss a lot. I’m so busy, and it’s making it very difficult to stay in touch. I’m so sorry :(

7. Go to New York to see The World / Inferno Friendship Society play at The Music Hall of Williamsburg. It should be epic.

8. Write sketches in collaboration with Emily and Ryan. I really hope I have time for this but it sadly feels iffy at this point.
