Ok so I just completed my first week at CIV. It is not going to be an easy road. But I am looking forward to the challenge. I am very excited to what my future holds for me. Yesterday while in lad we were giving a lot of information that we had to memorize in a short time. I was kinda scared. But I think I have most of it. I was surprised that by the end of the day I had it down. I went to a friends and told her what I hard learned and what I had to know by Tuesday for my first quiz. Well I told her and I was shocked that I could remember. It was the measurement. Also I have to know all these french works for cutting and know the sizes of each cut. Like a Brunois is a 1/8 x 1/8 x 1/8 cut. and Batonnet is 1/4 x 1/4 x 2-2 1/2 cute. These are french words and do not sound like they are spelled. I did not know that I was going to be taking French to lol. So after class I was talking to another student that is a month ahead of me and she told me a good tip to how to remember it. Ok Lets see If I can do this for you right now. Without looking at my paper. Hey and if you are reading this you may learn something. Here we go.

6 tsp= 1 oz

2 tbls= 1 oz

1 cup = 8 oz

1 pint= 16 oz

1 quart=32oz

1 gallon = 128oz

some of you have maybe already knew that. But hey when you have 50 vocab words and a pile of other stuff you have to learn in a short time it can be overwhelming. But I CAN DO THIS. My first test is on Tuesday. I will let ya'll know how I do.
