I will be starting my Barista 102 classes next week; meanwhile, the LTO will end on the 16th (Wednesday). I'm hoping to get even more orders as I start my coffee classes, with much excitement.
These sessions may prove more difficult that what I went through in 101. I barely passed my make-up practical exams, and I must admit that they gave me too many chances to pass. That last cappuccino part and milk steaming were nerve racking. I'm having a hard time now recalling those last few minutes. But I have to thank God that my instructors allowed me to pass and continue on. Beggars can't be choosers and we have to take whatever we could get.
102 looks to be better than the last class, not only because of the smaller size, but I will apparently have a family member as a classmate. I just found out before the finals that my mom's cousin was taking classes at the school. Pleasantly surprised, I welcome the joy and challenge of learning with her. She apparently plays basketball as well, often playing at Xavier on Fridays. If my knees hold up and my conditioning is at "that" level, then I could play with her group soon.
