Next Semester

            Well, for next semester i hope that i can stay on top of my work as well as i did during the coarse of this semester. I want to be able to do work finish it then be able to have fun, i was able to do this very well this semester. I hope next semester that i will still be able to manage my time so well. In my first semester of college i learned how important it is to manage your time. In college to truly be successful you have to be able to manage your time. I also want to be able to make more friends next semester so that i can keep my group of friends in college very open. I also want to remain friends with the people i have met in my inquiry and English class. i have made so many friends and already have accomplished a lot in one semester and i hope i continue to do so in my next seven semesters of college.

Successes and failures

            During the course of this semester i have had many successes and a few failures. One of my successes that i am very proud of is me getting acclimated to a college surrounding. For me i think that getting acclimated to a college surrounding was a huge deal. The reason for this is because i thought at first that college was not for me and that i was going to hate everything about it, I thought that i would hate having to share a room and a bathroom with other people. Honestly it is not that bad, i have made many friends and i like SCSU and all that it has to offer. One of failures in school that i did not get the right start to my art history class.  i thought that it was going to be easy and i really did pay attention and i would let myself doze off in class and sometimes just stare into space. I did not take this class very seriously because i never took art credits very seriously even in high school i did the same thing. I was just never able to take art credits seriously at all but college taught me that i was wrong and i needed to care about art history even thought it is definitely the most boring subject ever offered in the history of classes. So since starting here i feel like that i have grown a lot and just one semester has taught me a lot.

INQ experience

               The experience of having the same people in two classes was very good. The reason i say this from this class alone i got to know so many people. If it wasn't for this class meeting people at college would have been very hard. These classes helped me feel more at home during my transition to SCSU because at first coming to classes and not knowing anybody is a little unsettling. So this class really helped me ease my way into college and really was a great experience. In inquiry and english we did many group projects and activities that really helped get to know each other. I can say that i have made very good freinds with the people in my classes. I will miss some of the time in inquiry and english when we are all in different classes. It will be different next semester not being with the same people but i know that i will still see my freinds that i have made in this class.

Life after college

            My ideal life after college would honestly not be college education "fueled" the reason for this is because I hope to be a white glove mechanic at a European car dealership. Even though I would not be using my college education right off the bat but it will come into play in the long run. My reasoning for this is once i build my way up in the dealership world with my business degree and what i learn from the head people at the dealership i hope to one day own a dealership of European cars. I can put all of my business knowledge to use. Once I graduate college the summer before i start in the real world i hope to see the world i want to travel around for about a month before i start my life. 

Chicken cutlets

            My favorite food in the whole world has to be my grandmothers chicken cutlets. They are very basic to make and taste so good! My grandparents taught me how to cook when i was only nine years old. In this blog post I will tell you how to make really good chicken cutlets. There are only a few things you need

1. Chicken breast (obviously)
2. A meat tenderizer
3. 4 eggs
5. Flour
6. Bread crumbs (preferably make you own bread crumbs but store bought is fine too)
7. 3 medium sized bowls.
8. large deep frying pan ( any deep pot will work)
9. 1 measured cup of extra virgin olive oil

Okay, now that you have all of your ingredients ready you can begin to prep your cutlets. First thing you want to do is on a SANITARY surface you want to put the chicken breast down and begin to tenderize it. You do this by hitting it until it is almost flat and looks like a waffle. After this you want to do this to multiple pieces of chicken so they all look the same. Once tenderizing is done you want to set out your bowls, fill one with 4 cracked eggs, one with flour and the other with the breadcrumbs. Once that is set you want to stir the eggs around in the bowl until it is completely yellow. Okay, now comes the fun part. Soak one chicken breast at a time in the egg yolk once it is covered dip it in the flour and next the bread crumbs. When you do this make sure to stack the raw cutlets on top of each other not side by side because they will begin to dry and lose flour and bread crumb. After you have all your raw cutlets stacked pour your cup of olive oil into your pan and bring the oil to light simmer. Once you hear the oil popping and cooking you are good to put the raw cutlets into the hot oil (BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP THEM IN OIL SPLASHES AND IT HURTS). Begin to cook and eye the olive oil as you cook to make sure that it is not getting to low, feel free to add more if  you begin to lose oil. Cooking is the tricky part because you cannot take your eyes off the cutlets while they are cooking for more than a few seconds. Eye the the side of the cutlet that is cooking once it is a golden brownish color flip it so it cooks on the side. Once both sides are a golden brown you have yourself a chicken cutlet.

Follow the Leader

            The one time i had to really step up to the plate and be a leader was when i had to stay home and watch my brothers a few weekends ago. My brothers are old enough to watch themselves at night they are 16 and 9 and they are very mature people. One weekend my parents had to go away a for a wedding and when i was not home my 16 year old brother Evan was home watching Will my 9 year old brother. One night i had plans with my friends and i was going to leave. When i was leaving i saw Will struggling with his math homework. I sat down with him to see what he was having trouble with and it turned out that he did not get his math homework. I sat down with my brother and I saw he was having serious problems with his math ans numbers. I knew that this was going to take a while and i knew i had to step up as an older brother so what i did was is i went over math and borrowing from numbers to make him understand. I called my friend and told him that i could not hang out till later. This is how i stepped up as a leader.
