Living My Dream?

I can't believe I've entered into this time of life. As a kid we all dream about "what will we be when we're older?" Granted, when I was six I didn't even know what a graphic designer was, but as I grew, so did my dreams. And, well, here I am!

Over this past week I have begun my attendance as a CCS (College for Creative Studies) student and it has been a whirlwind (to say the least). At orientation, every mentor, advisor, or director that spoke to us mentioned at least one of these three topics: humanity comes before work (basically don't starve yourself, eat), work hard and rest hard, and/or make the most out of your experience at CCS (cause you're payin' a lot of cash). Every speaker made it sound like I will live, breathe, and bleed the school for the duration of my time there. Excellent.

The college is really a great school. It's going to be really intense, but it is going to open a lot of doors and provide a lot of connections. I'm excited to see where it takes me. (hence the commencement of this blog)

On a more personal level, the holidays are now long gone and 2010 has already become a very busy year. My family and I marked the end of the holidays by burning our gingerbread house. It was glorious.

Chris just left for Vermont to pursue his dream of becoming a chef. The distance is hard to deal with, but I'm excited to see how we both grow and change over these next few months. We both love the different environments we're in and are excited about the changes.

But, overall, I'm hangin' tough. It's kind of hard for me to believe that my life has started down this path. So! It's a new year, a new journey, and the next chapter in my life's story.
