Interview

So, I had the interview with the cooking school this morning....I have mixed feelings

On one hand I really love the curriculum. I think the classes are awesome and I'd love to be in Chicago doing something like that. Food is obviously something I love and something I can see myself doing.

On the other hand the lady that I talked to was kind of pushy. She kept trying to get me to quit my job to go to school up there. I told her that I needed to work, save money, and then think about applying. The whole reason I called in the first place was to get more information -- not to tell them I was ready to leave tomorrow. I thought I made that clear. Well after about 15 minutes of badgering about "why would you stay in a job where you're unhappy?" How many times do I have to say that I can't just quit when I just got hired?!! She basically told me to contact the guy I originally talked to when "I'm more serious about this". I AM serious. That's why I called for more info!! I'm so frustrated with pushy people that try to tell you what you're doing is wrong. Yes, I could apply for financial aid, but why do that when I could build my finances and then go...she even said that people there are of all ages.

I feel excited about the option, but somewhat defeated that they treated me this way even though I told the guy yesterday I wouldn't be ready for another year, at least. They even tried to push me into going to the Dallas school. I told them I was premature in my research but only because I wanted to explore my options with doing something that I love. Is that such a bad thing? What a waste of AT&T minutes.

Going to go cook something (go figure)
