GRR Jessica

Without fail, Jessica has got me blogging again. I tried Xanga but it freaks me out! It could not be more different than it was the last time I used it and I don't like change.



Which brings me to my blog topic of the day.



I graduate in exactly 16 days... The though scares the CRAP out of me. Mainly because it means I will be an Adult. I already have a job, luckily my Internship has kept me on for almost a year now, which means I am still getting paid $7/ hour to be treated like everyone's personal errand bitch. I mostly enjoy my work, they are very chill about letting me do whatever, however this worries me because currently I have no jobs going on. If anyone is interested in an Interior Designer in the Springfield area give me a call!! I have recently just created a brochure to mail out to homes on the market and Real Estate Agents about Home Staging, decorating a home to be ideal for the market. I also am doing some research for a basement design we might be doing, but the only "real" design work I've gotten to do so far is a design for a little boy who had punched HUGE holes in his bedroom walls. I did this design in July and am anxious to do some more work. My best friend is getting a new condo so she's letting me do some work, but thats in STL and for free.



The more I think about it the more I feel like I went to 4 years of college for nothing. I literally learned more about design by watching HGTV than I have from going to class, sure I went to class halfassed, and never did any extra reading for classes but as far as design work and what my teachers talked about in class, most days I feel like it was a waste of $40,000 and 4 years of my life. I know that a lot of Interior Design work is completely experience and totally on the job learning but like every job, nobody wants to hire someone without any experience and you can't get experience without a job.
