looooooonnnnng day, tired, wine, raining, beer, skipping class?

Just got in (it rains a lot right now/I'm soaked) : 23.15 hrs... Got up at 7 this morning, started class at 8.15, and had 4 (!) classes with chef Thivet.
Tonight he finished VERY late again, as usual - although I liked his meat dish..... But his planning sucks big time! Looks like he wants a demo to be 3 hours instead of the normal 2.5...
Today's first practical (white bean dish, prrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttt !), then a demo, practical again (monkfish wrapped in bacon with broccoli and cauliflower, prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttt ! another fart, sorry. yes, I really am!) and a late demo by chef T.
During the last demo we had a few (4?) glasses of wine (thank you James/Damien) and after that I had 2 'petite' pints in ze local cafe avec Damien.....
just got in, I smell like a ...... whatever - I just stink (fish, bacon, meat, fois gras and the $%#! beans!) Shower, and then to bed.
And I'm thinking of skipping class tomorrow morning - this practical is too much work, I'm tired and the written exam is coming up on Wednesday .... we'll see. And I also have to study....

A demain,
Sjoerd
(in half an hour it's my birthday - thank God I'm not in the pub right now!)
