Halfway through my first year at Diamond Oaks..and i must say, it feels odd that it's gone by so quickly. i'm very happy that i chose to come here, the students are better, for the most part, and the teachers are much more relaxed. The changes i need to make to my academic career, are as follows ; 1- Show up more 2- Do all of my work, on time. I picked up good habits in my lab, as I've become better at cleaning up as i go while cooking, and using less utensils, a bad habit  picked up, is watching for what people are doing wrong in the kitchen, such as if someone was cutting something on the wrong cutting board, or not using the correct cutting technique. The expectations i had before coming, was that i'd be able to keep any hair color i want, but that is not the case, Chef decided we were no longer allowed to have unnatural hair colors.
