I love that you made it to the Dior exhibit, and the opera. What a great trio - food, fashion, music. While entertaining yourself, you entertained me! I love reading about it all! Still trying to comprehend the quantity and variety of what you baked. You're a boulangerie star!

Love the spontaneity of ditching teh performance review. The whole pressure to manufacture career narratives when the learning itself is the point feels like such a modern trap. I've bailed on similar things when th time investment just wasn't matching the value, and honestly those impulsive choices usually end up being the memorabl ones.

Apparently Paris has done it again. Not content with 1789, 1848, or May ’68, it has now produced yet another revolutionary—this time armed not with a musket, but with a freshly baked croissant and a righteous disdain for attendance policies and performance reviews.

By skipping class and rebelling against the culinary establishment, you are simply honoring the grand French tradition: question authority, ignore rigid systems, and follow your own (possibly butter-soaked) truth. Marie Antoinette had cake, the students had cobblestones, and you—naturally—have opted for a strategic absence and a quiet non, merci to evaluation rubrics.

Somewhere, the ghosts of Parisian rebels are nodding approvingly.

Carry on, chère insurgée. History—and possibly Michelin—will understand. 😌🍷

I never saw myself as a revolutionary but I like it! Carrying the torch for all the other anti-rule sufferers! I am on it! I will be organizing a grève (strike) at LCB before you know it!
