I don't know if they accept transfers into the Masters of Interior Design Program at SCAD Atlanta, but I am looking into it. Harrington just isn't satisfying my INTERIOR DESIGN wants and needs. I understand that the research portion of the Thesis is fabulous practice and a great thing, however...that is definitely not my strength and I don't know if it will be that beneficial to me to in the long run.
I think the SCAD program is more to my liking, including theory and methods but a little more Interior Design focused....Not sure yet but I am inquiring. Because now would be the time to get going on transfer student paper work, take a trip down to the see the campus (and my brother) and scope out what may be a better solution for me in the long run.
If I were to transfer there, I would then have a better chance of getting a job in Atlanta, after I get my degree, because I would most likely be able to get an internship of some kind while finishing my studies and then maybe, just maybe get a job offer?
It sounds pretty ideal, expect for the part about moving and not really knowing anyone, But WHO CARES....I'm not thrilled about being back at home right now and not truly having a place of my own. This really sounds great, no more BRUTAL winters, close to my grandparents & my brother...i dunno it is sounding nice to my ears...we shall see within the next few days if it is even possible.
Hopeful & Interested :), but a little Nervous & Anxious too

Feeling ignorant and uncultured
I enjoy studio class discussions just to hear what people have to say, their experiences and opinions. Examples of spaces and places they have been and seen...it makes me feel sad for my own sake that i haven't been many places and am so uneducated in so many areas and topics. I know a lot of it comes with age and time...but I desperately need to get out of Chicago first and foremost and secondly out of the US and experience new things and places!!

Parking or Train....the Dilemma
So the dilemma is that I currently take Metra to get downtown to class 3 evenings a week. I pay about $20 to travel on the metra each week which is about $80 a month. Including another $30 approximately (maybe) in gas money just to get to the station. THen of course there is the trek to and from the train station once I am downtown in the brutal cold, plus the urgency to get out of class in time to catch the train. However, the train is an efficient way to get reading/work done while I am commuting.
The other option perhaps (at least for the truely awful cold months) is the Standard Parking that is directly across the street from my school and is $40 a month. Granted I have to pay for gas too which would be about $100 a month. so...is it worth it to spend a tad more over February and March...to park at school and avoid the horrid weather...but also sacrafice that commuting time to get work done even though I have more time now to get work done at home(without both jobs to schedule in my days)....
I dunno, decisions and me don't always mesh well. I would be satisfied either way, I think I would get a "bad/guilty" feeling no matter which one I chose.
I would feel guilty paying more and not working during the time I am traveling home. But I would feel utterly and completely miserable in the weather just traveling to and from the station each evening.
Opinions anyone?

organized life
Starting my side business today. Going to my best friend's mom's house to organize her Christmas decorations. Getting paid to help organize things is fabulous. I hope it isn't the last time.

Fun facts you may not know!
Some interesting things about me...
- Things I love
- Organizing
- Metra trains
- Warm weather/the Sun
- Things that are pet peeves
- When you read something that list two things blank 1 and blank 2. Then the following sentence refers to blank 1 as the former and Blank 2 as the latter. Just restate what was already said because I have to go back to reference it anyways.
- Static electricity in my hair!
- People who smack when they chew or eat.
- Things that I Hate
- Cats
- Folding Laundry from the Dryer
- Being cold
- I thought this would a give a little insight into some of the things that I come across regularly in life, that can get me motivated or even hit a nerve.
- Want to add a fun fashion image. A dress from J Crew, I love the asymmetrical material and the color is fabulous.
Fresh Start
So, this blog as a form of school record keeping is being transfer to a wordpress page. Therefore, leaving me with this space to devote to my personal ideas, preferences and life adventures! So take a gander at a little more about me!
