Do Idle Hands Do Evil Deeds?

Ok I am absolutely bored out of my mind. And it isn't fun. Yes people another rant that does not include any baking adventures. I pause for the boo's and rotten fruits and vegs that might be heaved by the dismayed masses....Actually get over yourself, this blog isn't that special.

It is yet another Saturday and I am bored. Yesterday was not to bad, I went to my first Jbrew brewing club meeting and found it highly fascinating. And I actually found myself research some of the techniques and processes of home brewing. I join the club to get a better appreciation for beer and ultimately alcohol in general since I am not isn't biggest supporter. I saw some actual brewing taking place and got to taste some wort (which just the liquid you get after the steeping the malted grains). I would brew just for the smell. It smells awesome. According to the brewing dude in charge it smells like liquid bread. And sorry Jo I took no pictures but fear not I have plenty time to take some, they will be brewing again. Plus I signed up to volunteer at a beer expo in November, definitely going to take my camera there.

Anyway so after that highly informative morning the rest of the day just flat lined. I wanted to go out to discover more of the city but both the weather and myself were really conducive to any exploring. Unfortunately I believe I fell asleep with my hair wet. Oops..so I am stuck with a bit of a head cold. But I believe the worst is over.

As for today's agenda, one plans to go to CVS and buy some cough congestion drugs, that should help. After the international organisation here has a trip planned to some local picnic park and a bbq would then ensue so I get free food. (Hooray I get to save a swipe.)

On Sunday, however, one is going shopping. The weather has started to dial down a few degrees so I going to start mise en plac'ing myself for the ugliness to come. Just a lighter jacket, more thermals long sleeves and heavier socks. Oh and start on mum's shopping list as well.

On the other fronts I am doing pretty well. Going to the gym. Eating well. Studying and acing tests. So life is good minus the fact that I am a bit bored. Next week I have the last of my Classic Pastry practical exam, so I eagerly await that glorious day when I am back home (the pastry lab). Also I might get a chance to speak to the dean in charge of the France study aboard program, and find out who I would have to screw to get in..oops sorry what I mean what I need to do to insure a place.

And if you'll are thinking to cure his boredom why doesn't he find a job. I am looking into that too.
