About Me

My photo
My name is Carissa, and I am a graduate of The Art Institute with a diploma in Baking and Pastry. I like baking, cooking, and singing. I have also recently become a fan of working out and eating healthy. I am a celiac, meaning no gluten for me. You may think that it is odd that I am a celiac who went to school to make fabulous pastries that are full of gluten, and I agree; but i love doing it. So this blog will be filled with food and workout related material, along with some other random stuff that comes to my mind.

Wow

Wow it's been a long time.

So in the last couple weeks I have lost 5 pounds(yay!), been a nanny for an 8 week old baby, and gotten a new job. Yes that's right!..a new job. I will be a barista and a baker. It should be a lot of fun. But also a lot of hard work! But it will be great experience for me. Im super excited to be a barista. And I am working at Lalee Cakes. My friends mom owns it and she asked me if I wanted to work for her! That is not something that happens too often. I also applied for a kitchen job at Job Corps, but turned it down since I got this baking job. I will still be at Herbergers. It will be more tolerable tho since I won't be there 40 hours a week. But I start tomorrow training at the coffee shop. Hopefully that goes well. And then I have volleyball tomorrow night.

Updates

So I turned down the marketplace job because I wouldn't actually get to bake. I applied at job corp but I don't think I want to work there. It would be weird serving kids my own age, plus I would only make a tiny bit over minimum wage. Hopefully I can work for my friends mom at hr shop. I would actually get to bake things that I want to. I would also like to work at sweet and flour if the opportunity arises. Good night. I work early in the morning.

Makes me sad

I fell like I regressed when I moved back to Minot. Now I don't know what I want to do with my life. I would like to be a teachers aide, a baker, or a bum. I feel like I wouldn't care if I got a baking job right now. I think it's just because I haven't baked much in almost 6 months. I could have a marketplace job, maybe job corp, or I could work for my friends mom. I am pretty sure I will need a baing job just so I have the experience to put on my resumé. I am just so unsure now. Hopefully I can figure it out soon. It also has to be a job with benefits since i wont be able to stay on my parents for much longer....that is if I am even still on it. :S well, I'm going back to sleep for a few hours.
