I'm currently deeply involved in the last semester of school, infamously known as "Restaurant Row"... this is where you spend time as both back and front of the house at two of the five restaurants on campus. My current assignment is front of the house at the Caterina de'Medici restaurant. If I can keep my anxiety level down, I should be fine. The operative word here is 'should'.

I think I'd feel more confident if I had a better command of the language... but I fear by the time I learn Italian to my comfort level, the class will be over and we're on to the Escoffier Room and the dying artform of High French Haute Cuisine (e.g. there are 19 different pieces of silverware we have to know how and where to use!).

Maybe I should look into one of those audio language programs...

Current Mood: ambivalent
