End of 7th week

Wow what a week, i know i wrote about this training course in my last blog but holy mother %^$^##&^%$,  there was point on saturday that i almost lost it and was just gonna cry....i find out today that this training session is suppose to be a month long class, we did in 1 week, not even a week cuz i missed half of monday and saturday so it was like 5 days, can you imagine 30 days worth of information and testing done in 5 days? nobody passed...i mean there are people who have been working at UCDA for years that didnot pass this freaking class.  The problem is that UCDA can not pay these people to stay in uganda for a month but then everyone suffers, out of the 22 test you have to pass to get certified, i passed 14, which is not bad considering i passed more then almost everyone else in the class. But i still would of loved to passed and get certified, the good thing is the tests i have passed are good for 18 month so i have a year and a half to pass the other 8. I am guessing when i get back state side i will pursue the certification. I have learned so much about coffee and its complex attributes that i am glad i got a chance to participate in this course. But man i sooooooo glad its over.

On sunday i was surfing the satellite dish that edmund has and was sorry to find out they dont show football, especially not the redskins games, i have been watching football since 1986 and was planning not watch and just see the highlights but as 1 pm approached (which is my 8pm) i couldnt take it anymore and thanks to the NFL channel and network i ordered the full season and watched the game on my labtop, and boy oh boy i was glad i did cuz our boy RGIII shined big time. Star in the making.. i could not believe that the redskins, i mean the redskins were playing good football and on offense. To my fellow redskins fans and football fans in general i have to ask, when was the last time you remember redskins playing that good on offense and have star QB? when was the last time redskins scored 40 points? holy &%$# the redskins scored 40 points and won a game. i gotta tell you i was in complete awwwwww last night and this morning but i had nobody to talk to about it, i couldnt text abdullah and talk shit to him cuz his giants lost and he has been texting me since they won the superbowl. i dont want to say anything premature but come guys i think there is a star about to shine here, well there in washington,  i have to admit i was a little skeptical about drafting him but after that performance (even though saints D is not among the elite) for a rookie QB to throw for 300 yards and 2 touchdowns and control the game the way he did, that was impressive. i have to say i slept very well last night, as my family knows how much the redskins stress me out, but finally we won and we have a QB. Hail to the REDSKINS. cant wait for the skins and dallas game.


 here are some pictures of the dreadful course. what you see is a cupping section of the test where they put 6 different coffees on the table and you have to pick the best and worst by a grading system, 10 criteria's, aroma/fragrance of dry and wet coffee, aftertaste, mouthfeel, bitterness, sweetness, saltiness, balance and overall. we did this 15 times. can you imagine, after a while everything starts to taste the same. anyways ill write more later now its law and order svu and bed time.
