I miss my Nikon camera :( I hope it's having a fantastic time in Vietnam with Ken.
So it looks like I can't get a pastry job without having either some experience or being enrolled in Tafe to be an apprentice, dratz. So, I'm going to be jobless for a while. I'm planning to do a bunch of short courses and hopefully that'll increase my chances in landing some kinda temp job. So far I've signed up do an RSA course and a Barista course.
I plan on enrolling into Tafe to do a patisserie course. I have to admit, that for a while I did see Tafe as a place where you'd go when you can't get into anywhere better (ie Uni) but lately it seems like if I actually want to learn something, Tafe is my best option. Of course Le Cordon Bleu would be awesome but its way expensive and I hear its just as hard to land a job with that diploma as having none at all. Sucks major. Also I dread studying. The theory, gah the theory how I loathe you. On the plus side I can get exempt from half the subjects since I've already completed my Advance Diploma in Hospitality Management.
It sounds like I have my head wrapped around studying again (and I can tell you, it was no easy choice, studying isnt my forté) but actually I'm stuck between staying in the hospitality industry or changing my career to photography (which is what I wanted to do in High school). I would study both...but both courses start at the same time. I want to go to a private institution to study photo imaging but the fees...so darn high...
The thing is, I still love pastry and I still want to know everything about it, just in a hobby sort of way. Photography was a hobby of mine behind working in the kitchen, but it seems now, they've reversed.
Anyhows, everything starts in JULY, so I've got a few months to make up my mind.
In other news; I bought a Treeson blindbox at Via Alley and a new Instax Mini 25 camera. Yay :)

Oh. My. God. That's totally the camera I've had my eyes on since Christmas!!! *gushes* Soooo prettttty!!!
Pure awesomness!!!!!!!!
that sounds like a pretty good idea nhi. don't be so frightened about the thoery work at TAFE. In fact i'm pretty sure it won't be that hard. I had a great time at TAFE and I really miss being a TAFE student. TAFE is easier and more fun than Uni. Uni is sh*#t hard. Believe me. U will dread in uni!!
btw- I saw a notice board for the bakery shop Breadtop at Campsie. if i can roughly remember, they r looking for kitchenhand person and something else and U can bring ur CV in there. U migt be interested? U can try to call that place at Campsie.
@Jenn, Really? it really aint that expensive. You can totally get one.
@ Annie, I'm not scared of the theory, I just don't like it. I prefer practical lessons. Also thanx for the job update but I think I'll pass on Bread top, I want to work somewhere that I actually like the food.
Yea, I know it's not expensive. Just never thought I SHOULD get one. You know, want vs need etc lol.
Lemme tell you, I want ALOT of stuff XD But it's cool you got one, beeecuz now I can admire the real-deal rather than the lil image on my pc *excitement* It can be my new best friend along with your dslr XP
Warning: Camera will be hogged as soon as this psychopath lays her eyes on it
