Well, it only took me 4 years of college and earning a bachelor's degree in Communication and Business, plus 3 years in the "real-world" to officially decide what I want to be when I grow up. While I wouldn't ever change my experience at A&M, I sort of wish that more opportunities would have been presented to the 18 year old me. Like, there's also such thing as art school, and that's acceptable, or, if you want to get an Associates in Design, hey, that'd be ok too. I still would have chosen A&M, but, something to think about.

Later in life, I hope to be called an Interior Designer. I want to go to school, I want the degree, I want the knowledge. I know that you can have instinct when it comes to colors, patterns, spatial things, but I also yearn to understand all of the technical things that aren't even on my radar. Hopefully the plan is, when we're done here with Blake's school, that I will enroll part time somewhere, wherever we are.

Back to post's title. I had a mini melt down a few months back about the fulfilment, or lack there of, of my current occupation. Blake, in all of his infinite wisdom, suggested that while I'm here for the next year and a half to somehow set myself up for Interior Design school, become immersed in their world. So I did. An old co-worker of mine let me meet a super successful Interior Designer here in Dallas. She owns a shop in Snider Plaza, and she was also looking for help on Saturdays. Enter me (annoyingly enthusiastic).

I had my first working Saturday this past weekend, and it was everything and more I'd hoped it to be. The customers that come in love art, they love design, and they thoroughly appreciate all the beautiful things that fill the shop. The day flew by, it felt like playtime, not work. Eventually I'll learn more about the specific lines she carries, and the history behind the art and one-of-a-kind antinques, and that makes me giddy beyond belief.
So, welcome to my playground office. :)
