Great news Dave, really.

I have one question: what is sanitation and safety? You go around picking up people's garbage while wearing safety goggles?

[Menard]

Maybe it means that Dave didn't drop the food in the floor and have to resort to the 5 second rule.

[odinn7]

Good point, Menard.

[daveblackeye15]

Odinn7 there is no 5 second rule, it goes in the trash.

In case your question was serious then I'll answer it seriously. What we studied was proper methods of cleaning your equpiment, such as you definatly want to wash,rinse, and sanitize your cutting board after cutting up chicken if your going to cut up something new like vegtables. We learned about a crap load of microrganisms and deseases. In fact I think I now have an idea what gave this horrible sickness last year. We learned about accepting food develieres, temperature danger zone, internal cooking tempeartues. And so much more!

Look at my wealth of knowelege!

Kickass!!  Hope it all goes well dave!  What a knowledgeable lad you have become!

I've just got my results back for my course, and I've done fine, so now I guess I'm an Arts graduate [somebody give me a job please now!]

That's pretty darn scary/exciting!

Congratulations!  Always good to see somebody get out of school alive.

Nice one Dean!

I was often conflicting between going for art or for cooking. When the school that I might have gone to art for turned me down then it was cooking.

I hope you get a job where you can use your new skills.

[dean]

New skills my behind!!  For those who don't know, 'Arts' isn't painting and whatnot, but humanities subjects like English, History, Politics, Classics etc.  I majored in History and Cinema Studies, not practical cinema mind you, but theoretical.  That is, I didn't make films, or learn how to make them, but studied the crap outta them [film theory is really interesting by the by]

It's a long standing joke that the Bachelor of Arts stands for, amongst other things, a Bachelor of Attendance [you just have to show up], and that there is not straight career path from it, but many branching areas.  I guess it's up to me to figure that part out properly [but I'm happy to celebrate now and worry later] Though I do have my own ambitions, problem is the film industry is a pretty tough biz, especially here [where there's not as much going on.]  But that's the fun in finding out!

Luck to those who are still studying!

Oh and Dave, if you are good at/enjoy doing art, why not enter or collaborate on a cult movie poster for the competition in that thread I started recently? Could be a way to have a bit of fun after all the study is over!

Oops sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by arts. I am familiar with THOSE arts though. My mistake. I may or I may not submit something. I dunno I'll think about it.
