Culinary Dispatch #9

Delirious, exhausted, over-caffeinated - and honestly having the best time.

This was the last full week of Intermediate, and I genuinely don’t know where the time has gone. We’ve officially reached the delirious stage of school where the tears come quickly, but the laughs come even quicker. Everything feels funny now - even the chaos of trying to make a bouillabaisse and sweet pastry dough in the same two-hour practical. I’m running on caffeine, adrenaline, and the faint hope that my jus no longer split, and yet there’s something deeply comforting about the rhythm we’ve fallen into. I feel like I could sleep for days, but at the same time, I know I’m going to miss this exact kind of beautiful madness the moment we go on holiday break.
