The Opening

Well, after many weeks of debating with myself, "should I, should I not?", I've finally decided on keeping a blog. The two fundamental reasons for my coming to this decision were:
Firstly, I think it'll be interesting to read these this thread of entries in the future, near and recent both, and see if and how i change.
Secondly, I seem to suffer from having a myriad things to tell, and no one to tell them too. Not personal matters, most definitely not. I'll keep it fairly impersonal, though, for my own sake.

I think I might just have completed my essay for my application to the CIA (not the agency, this is a Culinary Institution -cooking school, for those my simpler readers). I'm still marveling at the effort i put into it, I don't remember working so hard for anything (methinks even the "so" might not be necessary). Maybe it's because I've never wanted anything this badly. Things come and go, and a lot seems to work out without my doing much about them - year 12 finals are an out-and-out example of this claim. I'm not boasting, I don't think I deserved those grades, even though they were attained by entirely honest means. The C in Maths is, therefore, a tribute to the lack of effort that went onto preparation for said exams and even that i don't fully deserve. There was, however, external travail involved.
