What is the hardest thing about being in culinary school?
There is nothing particularly hard about being in school, but there are definitely things that have required a bit of an adjustment. First of all, the schedule is very different from a normal work-day schedule. Classes start at 7:00am, and it is recommended that you get there early. I wake up at 5am every to get ready for school and be there on time, so I usually fall asleep around 9pm now! Also, adjusting to having large amounts of homework has been hard for me. I worked at a desk job for six years and was very much used to having my evenings free to workout, cook dinner, and relax. Now I do online modules, lots of homework reading, and writing papers – very strange at 29 years old! But I get all my work done, and I am determined to graduate with a 4.0 GPA.
