Chasing my dream

I just applied for a culinary school in baking and pastry program >.< hahahahaa finally i did it...i've been wanting to do so but have no courage...i realize that it's something that i really want to do, the thing that i really have fire on, it's my passion. The school is in Hudson, New York, about 90 minutes from New York city (by train). The school requires 6 months experience in food service industry so I work in a restaurant called 'Perkins' now. I worked as a baker there. The funny thing is I did not plan to apply at Perkins, I thought the job would be as a cook. I applied for some bakeries but at the end of the day when I was done applying at Panera Bread (located just next to Perkins), I saw a sign in Perkins "Now Hiring". Somehow I went in and asked. Just as I thought the job would be as a cook but then again I applied for it although it was not what I wanted. I explained to them that I needed the experience to apply for culinary school. I then filled the application form over there. While I was working on that, the manager came to me and asked me if I would be interested in being a baker. Boom, I was so happy because I did not think that there was a position in baker. He then asked me what time I could work. Since at that time I had conflict with my father about getting home late, I said "maybe not too late, like before 9 pm". Then the manager said "O okay, what about early in the morning at 4 am?" Then I said yes because I thought it would be a test and challenge for me if I really wanted to deal with bakeries. So far I love it very much. There is nothing beat me seeing what I made earlier were sold well. It feels so good seeing empty plates hahahahahahahaaa...

Anyway, yesterday was really weird. I was walking to my car and whispered "God I miss him so much, I miss him so much. But I guess it's over now. It's over..." Then I got in my car, turned on the radio and boom..."It's Not Over" song by Daughtry...the song was almost at the end so it's like this:

It's not over, yeah...
This love is killin me
But you're the only one
It's not over...

I thought "What the hell?!?!" Was it a sign? O well, pathetic me @.@
