Well, the Second Term Practical will go down in personal history as a moment I care to forget. The first half of my 2 hours was great. I drew Station #1; roasted chicken with pan gravy, glazed beets, potatoes au gratin, and green beans. The soup was beef consomme, a personal nemesis, but of all the stations, it was the easiest.

So I had to just got and mess everything up.

Nothing like having the easiest menu and getting the worst grade. One point lower and we'd be retaking that bad boy, so at least I did get a passing score. Thank goodness I aced the oral test and can cook a green bean.

Not even new Apple products made it much better; however, that's more that the phone isn't out until June, instead of tomorrow.
