Today Chef GL is teaching (reteaching actually) how to sharpen your knives. I wont go into any of the details here, its hard to explain. Look it up on youtube or something, it will be better demonstrated on some of the professional videos. Anyways, back on track, Chef GL is rather upset with some of my peers and the shape of their knives ( those that bring/ own their own knives that is). I agree with him that some people have knives that are in less than great condition, but lecturing the class may be a bit much. It would be better to drag those who aren't maintaining their knives into a private lesson, instead of forcing the whole class to wait for him.
Another peer I will talk about is Genius. Genius is, well, a genius. And he knows it, which makes him arrogant to the less intelligent members of my class. Genius hangs around Trusted One and Knight alot, but he has more in common with Trusted One, due to Genius being closer in age to her. What I'd like to see from Genius is some kind of motivation. Both Trusted One and I have made comments about his apparent lack of enthusiasm, but I'm starting to think that nothing the college has to offer will spark his interest. I think that nothing here really challenges him, but that might just be a downside to his extra experience compared to the rest of us sitting at 18 to 22 years old, compared to his 30 years of life. All in all, I believe Genius is a good guy, but I truly wish to see what interests him, if not only just to see him get motivated about it
