Hey!
So we only have three more weeks of school left! Not including next week of course because it's Thanksgiving and we're really not in school. I'm excited but the end of the semester is kind of bittersweet since I'm going abroad next semester so this is really the end of my year here. Its weird! Like I already have to think of moving all my stuff out of my apartment! Even though I'm sad to leave all my friends who aren't going abroad behind I am so excited to go to London. I went to one of the orientation meetings this week and it made me look forward to going abroad even more. There are so many exciting opportunities there for traveling, field trips, and internships! And I can't wait to live in a completely different culture and experience a different lifestyle!
I'm also very excited because I found an interior design job over Christmas break. A woman my mom is friends with contacted me about redoing her daughter's room as a Christmas present! So I am meeting with her over Thanksgiving break to look at the room and take some measurements as well as to talk about ideas and a price range. I'm so excited though because even though I've had internships this is my first real interior design project that I am working on by myself! Hopefully we can come up with something she likes and maybe that will get my foot in the door for other small projects around the area. It just goes to show how important networking is. I think what I've learned most about networking is that it can come from the most random meetings and once you get the opening or opportunity you should really take advantage of it and take it seriously because you never know what will come from even the smallest jobs.
Well I hope everyone is doing well! Talk to you soon!
