Departure

As being busy during the last week, due to homework, studying and also enduring chef's punishment where the entire class lost about 50% of our MEP (mise en place) grades. That part when chef did that just kind of made me sink, but also what made me also kind of went down that my roommate left. On Thursday 27, my roommate left for his externship. At the CIA externship it is required in order to graduate from this college. It is basically working at least 18 weeks in a Hotel, Restaurant, Cruise (where my old roommate is doing), etc. at least has to deal with food service.
 I thought my roommate was actually nice, but I think we could have talked a bit more. He and I only known each other at least 6 weeks. During the first day in my Hudson Hall (which is move in day) I expected him to be there when I came in, but he was not in the room. The whole entire time during my move in day, I was just thinking who was my potential roommate. Around later in the afternoon at least into the night, where the new students have a meeting among each other among the floors. Hudson Hall has 4 floors, and had a group meeting where we're divided up into group by floors.  I thought hopefully I could find my roommate, but realize none of them were there. So after that little meeting, I went back and just hope that he is there. After unlocking the door, it was dark, and turned on the lights. Hoping that he was here, and looked to his side of the room which was on the door side. Nope, he was still not there.

  After that, I decided to go to bed, having to wake up and go to an Orientation at 7:30 am. I was half sleeping, and just waited for him to say Hi. It past 10 and he still was not there. I felt I was going inside the sleep world, but I knew I have to wake up cause of two reasons. At first I thought he might pull a prank on me while sleeping, or just to say hello to him.  Then at least around 11- 11:30 pm time frame, he came in and by the time he came in I woke up but still very tired. He said Hi, and I could have said something but was too tired to respond back. I went back to sleep, and he actually grab something from his room and left.

  It was until Friday during that Orientation week, at night, we finally talked to each other. I felt better that I knew him more a bit more, but I think we could have talked more with his short time before leaving for externship. Though we did not have any problems among each other, we respected each other space and just respect each other. Although the problem was that when we go in and out for class or any other events. At least that was a minor problem, that it just began into an everyday thing.

 I usually do my homework in my dorm on the weekends, but sometimes during the weekdays. Mostly it is usually done in the library where I don't disturb my roommate, but I did asked questions how the chef wants. Luckily we both had the same Culinary Fundamentals Chef, and my roommate told me just to type everything. Later on just talked what other classes for the next semester. He was helpful overall, and nice too.
 Before his two weeks of departure he had breakfast class. Breakfast class where culinary students obviously makes breakfasts for the entire school. There are two kitchens that produces Breakfast, which is known as K-11 and K-16. (Hopefully I will get into detail with these kitchens especially for out typical breakfast, lunch and dinner). He has to wake up around 1:30 am and get there by 2:00 am. Yes you read correctly, at 2:00 am this class begins. At least he tried to go out very quietly but for some reason I just woke up when he was about to leave. Luckily that class only last for about a week, and usually ends at 11:00 am.

 Sometimes when we see each other outside of the dorm, where he always say my name or just saying "Hey Buddy". I usually just give a wave and a little smile. I will miss that when he said that, it just cheers me just a bit.
  When he left, he almost forgot to say goodbye and we shook our hands. Saying good luck to each other, then he left for his externship. It was around 11pm when he left, where I had trouble sleeping. I had the room to myself for two days now, and now today is the day when my new roommate is coming in. Can't wait to meet him, and just give a warm welcome. For those two past days it was lonely, but it just feels normal because my old roommate usually leaves me alone on Fridays and Saturdays. So today hopefully able to greet him, and just getting to know each other a bit more.

Bye and please come again.
