A long time ago, I went to college. I had the opportunity to study engineering, and learned quite a bit. As time went on, I found that I needed to branch out into something new. I’ve gone back to school to become an architect. One of the big things they’ve been pushing at school is usgbc leed. They keep telling us that it is important that we look into this because it is the wave of the future. Luckily, they also gave us some leed classes to take to really get a firm understanding of LEED.

There are courses on designing new structures, and some on converting current structures to leed existing buildings. I’m not entirely sure I understand everything just yet, but I believe my advisors know what they are doing and can help make sure that I am making a good career move. I mean, my engineering advisors weren’t this good so that has to say something. It’s hard to believe that it has been almost ten years since I’ve graduated. I’m sure glad that my first undergrad is over because it was long and a bit arduous. I took a lot from it though, so I think things will be okay.

Since I was about five years old, I have loved fashion and anything having to do with clothing.  I can remember constantly playing dress up and as soon as I was old enough I was making and designing my own clothes.  So of course when it came time to decide what I wanted to do after high school, I chose to apply to a fashion design school.  I was only going to apply to the fashion school, but my guidance counselor wanted me to have a second choice and she suggested I look into schools that offer similar courses.

I found an art school close by that offered not only traditional art courses, but also courses in clothing design and architecture, which my guidance counselor thought would be a great start in case I didn’t get into the fashion design school right away.

Well, I took her advice and ended up being accepted to both schools!  Even though I have always dreamed of designing my own line of clothing, I want to weigh my decision and make the right one for me. Now I have to decide which school I want to go to, because the idea of the art school has kind of grown on me.
