Taking It In

I am learning, I am learning that I know nothing. Well not nothing but a lot of things! Cool thing is I'm really excited to learn, something I have not felt since I started college so this is good! I'm really trying to get involved too, but no too involved. I still need me time. This is a weird feeling for me, I'm enjoying college. If my friends were here, I don't think I could be happier! It's weird, I feel at home here and I thinks it's because I feel like I'm really following my dream, this time when I think about my future I don't imagine some circumstance getting me out like I did when I thought about being a CSI (I always would imagine myself getting shot and not being able to go back to work) When I see my future I actually see myself doing what I am studying to become. And when I say it "I am a desginer" I feel a rush through me veins. Red Wine Clothing Company is on its way!

Starting the Journey

ok, the about me will tell I guess, about me! So the start of my journey through Fashion begins with a change of college and major. I started at UW-Milwaukee with a Criminal Justice major which changed to Business which then changed to going to UW-Stout for Apparel Development and Design! whew what a road! And let me tell you transfering is not a fun process, I don't like feeling like a freshman all over again and even more so dislike that not all my credits transfered over and I'm stuck taking classes I tested out of before, boo. Overall however, I am estactic about the change and liking it so much more at a smaller school that seems to offer much more than it's larger counterpart. Here we get new laptops that are replaced every two years, can rent instead of buy books and professors actually get to know students! The dorms aren't as up-to-date, but that doesn't bother me so much. Admittedly I'm not a huge public shower fan, so the longer I can go without stinking the better! So let me tell you about Apparel, it's going to be hard hard work I can tell but I'm exicted for it. When your doing something your really passionate about work isn't as much work! Classes have started and the reading is piling up fast and assignments are being handed out. Construction and Textiles are going to be very tricky to handle. The professor in Textiles supposes that there will be 8 hours of work a week to do outside of class at least. wohoo. I'm a little scared, nervous, and stressed going into this because I want so much to do really well, I want to be on top, but what if I suck? Then what am I going to do with my life. ugh. Hopefully my Relaxation class will help keep my stress to a bare minimum. I love having random classes like that yay! Construction should be fun too. Making a tote bag, skirt, pant, and shirt. Hopefully I'll come out of that class knowing what the hell I'm doing with a sewing machine. If not uh oh! Besides school, I'm just thinking of how to get money and worse how to spend it. I have a horrible tattoo and hair dying addiction. My bright red hair is lasting wonderfully so I'm not to worried about that right now but my tattoo/piercing addition is starting to itch again (and I just got two tattoos in August!) luckily right now I have no extra money (or money at all) and no income so any spending on me is out the question, but what happens when I get a job? Can't someone just tattoo me for free? oh boy here we go again, but tats later class now!
