As I type the snow mounds outside. Like all other students I hope to see some kind of advisory notice saying classes are cancelled. While I love learning and academia, the thought of sitting in a class room puts me to sleep at times. I'm much more of a hands on kind of chic, perhaps this is why I am a self proclaimed "Foodie". I love all about food especially eating and cooking it. A few days ago I had a minor melodramtic breakdown as I tried to answer a professor's question to me about what my career plans are. I've been in school for sometime now, had many school and major changes to count, so I've kind of just been going through the motions for some time now. I had heard the career plan question many times before but that day was different. I began to think where am I going. I plan to graduate at some point this decade with a degree in Marketing & Advertising. Up until a few days ago I didn't know what in the field I wanted to focus on. Epiphany time: I want to be in the world of FOOD marketing! Some day I hope to open up my own business dealing with food at some capacity. I fantasize about what it might be: a chef, a restaurant manager, a food critic, etc. Aside from my madness about COMIDA, I enjoy writing and reading. I'm also introverted at times but when put into a group setting and stuff has to get done, I'm usually the first to say "ok so this is what I think". So for anyone there looking for a group member for whatever projects we'll have in class, I'm your chic! BUT please do come to roll up your sleeves as well and work it! Hope I get to know many of you throughout the semester.
Ciao,
Candice

We'll have to talk about food someday...I am a one-time professional chef (among my many life activities) and I love food too.

Its cool that you decided on a career involving the food industry. It's always good to pursue a career that involves doing what you love.
