Dreams Do Come True...

I know...I know...I have been MIA for quite some time. One thing led to another and then before I knew....weeks had gone by without me posting anything. I determined to get back on track, get focused, and stop being lazy! Those are definitely my goals from now and so forth.

On another note, the main reason why I want to write this post is definitely to update you on what I have been getting prepared for. Last time I spoke of going back to school was in a previous post HERE. Well...I am definitely pleased to say that I have received my acceptance letter from the Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD for short, and will be starting my new path beginning March 2015. Yes, just about two months away and I am ecstatic! 

One of the main reasons I started this blog was to definitely have you guys join me while I explore this new direction that life has taken me, and this acceptance has definitely got the ball rolling. I am happy that I have come such a long way and I am actually brave enough to share my experiences with you all. This will be an amazing journey and I hope that it inspires at least one person out there who gets the chance to read this.

Until next time...

Love,

Lola

a few of the schools I have been researching...and have the brochure for ;)

I'm guessing you all figured out my big secret!? Yes, you guessed it, I want to go back to school for Interior Design!

Whew....who knew there were so many interior design programs out there. SOOOO many options and things to consider, such as, location, housing, cost, and whether I want to do a bachelor's or master's. With the programs beginning approximately this time next year, and deadlines rolling around the beginning of 2015, it's time to buckle down and start preparing for the application process. That definitely means I need to start narrowing down programs and schools that I will be applying to.

Next steps on my to-do list:

1. Narrow down schools to a top 5
2. Begin application process
3. Tour a few, hopefully!
4. Begin writing essays
5. Notify references for reference letters

I am still wrapping my head around all of this but I am so excited!

I'll keep you all posted, thanks for reading!

Love,

Lola
