Today, I have some big news. I'm going to pastry school!
I know, it's a big change from university, but it's what I want to do. I was studying ancient Greece and Rome at university and, after 2 and a half years, I decided that it was about time to stop doing something that I found pointless and start doing something worthwhile.
When I entered university, I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I thought I would figure it out after my first year. I didn't find it in first year or second year and I thought this was normal. I took Classics because it was interesting to me but, ultimately, I didn't see myself being able to get a job relevant to my degree after university, nor did I even want to.
In the summer after second year, I started looking into pastry school. Baking was a hobby of mine, but I was starting to get more and more into it. I would daydream about what I could bake on the weekend or what new baking supplies I might get for my birthday.
I toured one pastry school and the idea really hit home. I could do this. It seemed right and I was excited about my future for the first time in a long time.
