I know I know I have to dust off the cobwebs on this blog. Once again I went on a hiatus.... What can I say, school got really REAL for me. I have a little less than 2 weeks to go before my semester is up.
This semester has been an emotional roller coaster. I have had to make A LOT of drastic changes for the sake of my sanity, and trying to make the best grades.
Going into finals week, I must admit I'm kinda shook. I'm feeling a lot like this:
I am starting to feel confident about finals. I know that I'm going to pull it all off.
Here's a quick recap for those of you who are new to this blog and are scratching your head saying to yourself "wait school wha????"
Yes I am in school. I have my B.A. degree in communications. I have worked in the field of journalism (media, print, radio etc), sports, and entertainment for the past 10+ years. When "The Fiance" and I decided we wanted to get married I was pursuing my M.S. in sports business.
I recently decided to change careers for a 'BUNCH' of personal reasons. Instead of continuing in the sports and entertainment industry I decided to pursue a career in communicative disorders.
I decided to do all of this while planning a wedding... Crazy right!!!
If you read the previous posts on this topic from this blog it will all makes sense I promise.
Right now I'm taking the undergraduate prerequisite requirements before I apply to graduate school. Coming from a background of communication/journalism, particularly being trained in broadcast journalism I approached my new industry of communicative disorders with a slew of biases.
Overcoming those biases have been challenging. It's hard to wipe the slate clean in order to be successful in a new thing. In order to do well in school I had to step back from a lot of things. Those things included... hmmm... let's see:
- Friends
- Working (Having a steady job)
- Any other type of social life/activities
- Blogging
- WEDDING PLANNING
Wedding planning was #1 on that list, but now is #5, because I made a HUGE milestone regarding wedding decor.
If you're an avid reader of this blog I'm not sure if you noticed but I live in my head a lot. By that I mean I have a HUGE imagination. My mind is always going. I'm always thinking, planning, revising, restructuring etc. etc. etc. I blame it on my scorpio-ness (my zodiac sign).
For my wedding/reception decor I have had this whole Prince: Diamond's and Pearls - Theme going strong for the past two years now.
To add onto that theme I have my mind set on the reception room being all white. This all-white thing is a fairly new concept for me. I played around with having white, black, and red theme. Going from my white, black, and red theme to ALL WHITE is pretty EPIC!!!
Just teasing, it's not that serious.
I'm requesting that my guests wear black. I think it will go well with the decor. Which by the way isn't ALL WHITE like I've been raving about for the past 3 paragraphs or so. It's really: white/off white, with DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and CRYSTALS! I want it to be elegant and GRACEFUL. (Did you catch that Crystals and Graceful...)
I coin this as a milestone because it took sooo much for me to really decide on decor. Much like my school experience of having to step away from everybody and everything in order to achieve 'good grades.' I feel the same has to be said about my wedding ideas.
Stepping away from thinking about our wedding, talking about our wedding, researching on things for our wedding...... stepping away from all of that really got me to come to my senses!
In conclusion, my last final exam is May 20th. If I do not post anything before then I will give an update on finals for those who are interested in my next post!
Sincerely,
