Christmas in March?!

Oh my gosh! I'm soooo excited for next week's Interior Design class! It's the final class, which makes me sad, but we get to actually play with fabric and paint swatches and what not and design a room. I can't even tell you how much my eyes lit up when they said that! Renee said it's like Christmas for me and I won't be able to sleep this week!! I've been dying to get my hands on some fabrics and actually do something!! I have to say that this class is a double edged sword for me. I want soooo badly to have a place of my own that I can go to town on and decorate. But it makes me realize how far I am from actually being able to do that and I get soo bummed out! Oh well, I have the rest of my life to live on my own and decorate my house, right? On the other hand, it is making me so much more interested in getting into the Interior Design field and I'm dying to talk to my mom's friend, Letha, to see what I need to do. Then I can decorate everyone else's houses and get paid for it, right?! So that's a good thing...

Wanna know something? I had a careers class senior year of high school and we had to write a little paper and research what we wanted to be when we grew up. I wrote mine on being an Interior Designer, and decided that the hours were too crazy if I wanted to have a family. Well...guess what? I don't have a family, so I'm pretty sure I need to look into pursuing this. I've been feeling so stagnant lately, although I'm still totally happy, and I think part of it is because I've always just had "jobs" and I've never had a "career" and I really feel like that's something I need. Call me crazy! It's either looking into doing something I love, or moving to another state (which I've also been considering...NYC, DC, Portland). Sidenote: this whole moving thing could be a result of my apparent Spring Fever, and I may feel better after my cruise.

Anyway, I think I mentioned before that I've decided that this is my year to take life by the horns and make changes, and do the things I've always wanted to, but have maybe been too afraid to do in the past. Apparently, my best friend pointed out I really can do these things any year BUT that's what I decided for this year, so that's what I'm doing! So far I've done a little photo shoot (which I've secretly always wanted to do), I've taken this Interior Design class, I'm deciding on which painting class I want to take next, I'm going on a cruise, I'm planning a trip to NYC (which is somewhere I haven't been yet and have wanted to go forever!), and I'm thoroughly enjoying where I'm at in life! I have to say though, I recently discovered that contrary to what I believed as a child, I really don't have Mariah Carey's range anymore and I'm saddened. When did I lose that?! Also, I have wicked internet ADD and I think I've reached my limit for the night.
