Mid-Term UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

So, hey guys! It’s me again. I know I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I am back with updates on school. So, here we go *said in the voice of Chip from Beauty & the Beast*. Please don’t ask me why it was in the voice of Chip, but whenever that phrase pops in my head, it is either in the voice stylings of Chip or Peter Pan. Hooray for Disney movies! Anywho…

Res II: Moss/Councilman project is going great, but slow. I think this is our only project for the semester. We are doing most of the project in sketch-up. It’s a great 3D program, download for free on Google! So, that project is teaching us budget, live client, and it’s more sketch-up practice.

Comm II: We are still working on Godiva, but it is due in a few weeks. So, we are now in crunch time. When this is done, we will be working on the EMS Call Center in Asheboro, NC. So, I’m gonna be busy with that class for a while.

History of Interiors II: Things are looking up! We had a rough patch in the beginning of the semester, but things are on the up & up! Ann, if you are by chance reading this, I want you to know, that mom and I were watching TV the other morning, and I recognized a Greek Revival home. That homework is paying off!

Textiles: Things are good, but they’re busy. I’m slowly learning about weaves and types. There is just so much!

Math: Math is math; somewhat easy at times, others, not so much.

Life in the outside:  Things are as boring as ever. The one awesome thing is that I have found my internship. This actually happened over the short summer break, but I didn’t want to tell until it was for sure. I am going to be working with Angie Kearns of AEK Interiors. And I am so excited! But, I think my mom is more excited than I am. So, that will happen in the spring! Last night, my friend Shelby Guy sang a solo in the fall concert at HPCA.I am so proud of you Shelbs!!!!!  Last weekend, my dad’s side of the family had our reunion (joy), and the next day, we went to the fair (JOY) with my: Uncle Howard, Aunt Mel, Jeff, Tara, Evelyn, & Sophia. That was a long day, but it was fun. I now have a deep love for deep fried Oreos! I did some advising for Jeff & Tara on drapes and paint a few weeks ago. They got the drapes, and picked a paint! YAY FOR FIRST CLIENTS!!!!!!!! Those are the exciting moments that have happened so far this semester.

So yea, that is about it! I will hopefully be back with some stuff later on.

The Start...

Well folks, I have been back in class for 2 weeks now. I now that I have a good idea of what we are doing, I want to share it with you!

Residential II: The first day of class, we have a color consultation for a couple in Asheboro. We gave them our choices that Thursday. We then have received our first big project. We are doing a renovation for a couple that is getting married. They are renovating his family home, and she is bringing some of her pieces into the mix. So, we have a big project ahead of us! That is all for Residential so far.

Commercial II: Our first major project is a competition for GODIVA! Yes, that’s right, I said GODIVA!!!!!!!!! And it’s a competition, so there may be prizes if we win. By we, I mean Misty, Alex and me are in a group together. And so far, things have been great! So, wish us luck!

Those are the main classes. My online classes are History of Interiors II, Textiles, and Math 140. So, we will see how everything goes! Wish us all luck!

I HATE Goodbye...

So, as of this coming Friday, 2 of my close friends will be gone off to school. The last leaves next Tuesday. It hadn't really hit me until tonight. MacKenzie left last Sunday, and Josh is leaving Friday, Rebekah leaves Tuesday. I wish there was a great song to insert here...but sadly, there aren't any I can think of. Shelby is in her Senior year of high school, so I still have her, but I'm now depressed. 

Tonight Josh, Bekah, Shelby, and I got together to say goodbyes. We made our usual cupcakes, and watched a movie. When the goodbyes came, I will say that it was hard not to burst into tears. But on the way home, it hit me. I felt like sharing this with ya'll, it is a relief to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening!

Around the Corner...

Well folks, I start back to school on Tuesday. I have really enjoyed my break, I don't want it to end. :(

While on my break, I had some realizations...

1.  This school year, I'm focusing on me! Getting to my "Happy Place" in my life. And, I'm very excited about it!

 2. I created my "Buried Life List". Have you seen the show on MTV called "The Buried Life"? Well, it is a show about 4 guys tackling the things on their list to do before they die. Along the way, they help someone accomplish something on their own list. Like, help someone find their mom who gave them up for adoption, etc... So I created my list. It is still in the works, but when I feel good that I have not skipped anything, I will post it.

3. I love my friends! I know I should anyway, but seriously! They have gotten me through things, and calmed me down. Thanks for listening guys!!!!! I love ya'll!

4. I have realized my love of vintage and antique items! For instance, I have a ring that I got when my Great Aunt Vera passed away. It has a large yellow stone, and a solid gold band. It is unique, and I'm proud to wear it! It has sparked an interest in vintage furniture and antique pieces! 

5. I have developed an even greater passion for travel. During the past 2 weeks, I would've loved to get out of town for even the weekend! Just to spice things up!

6. I have a great relationship with sleep! We weren't the best of friends during school, but we have rekindled our relationship over that past 2 weeks! 

I think that is it for now! I'm excited about school, because I graduate in May (!), and the routine is nice; but yet, I enjoy my time alone (not in the car on the way to and from school), with peace and quiet. NO stress! Well, we gotta move on with life! We only get 1, so make it count!! Have a great week, and to those who are starting school as well...Good Luck!!!!
