these past few days at vcu have been TRES stressful...between buying
books, running around for supplies 24/7, the heat, walking everywhere,
etc...but i can honestly say i love all of my fashion classes!
it's so awesome to be learning so much about something i
love! even though we have to learn all the basic stuff first,
like how to use a sewing machine, making patterns, drawing, etc...it's
still interesting even though it can be hard and tedious! i can't
wait until i can start making real clothes! and i actually don't
mind doing my homework so far...i actually like most of it! i
love hearing my teachers give tips and tell stories and
stuff...everyone seems really nice and dedicated. i'm sure
there's going to be really hard nights where i have to stay up until 3
AM or something...but i think it will be totally worth it...i'm really
fortunate to be doing something that i love and want to pursue a career
in...my goal in life is to have my own store/line and sell it to
celebrities!! i want stars to go on e! and say "i'm wearing a
kristen joswick original" or something...how awesome would that
be!! ever since i was a little kid, i remember loving
clothes...i've been through so many style changes...i can walk around
for hours in stores putting clothes together...i used to play with
barbie dolls forever by putting their clothes together and making basic
alterations...i used to draw out entire outfits for other dolls i had,
etc. yay hurray :-) also, we get to go to nyc this spring
break and look at a lot of design-y stuff!!!
and my other classes...for the most part, not that bad. i like my
english class and the teacher. we get to write about stuff we're
passionate about, so that's always good. biology lecture seems
pretty easy. but i HATEEEEEEE biology lab!!! i've always
hated science!! i'm not horrible at it, it's just not my
thing...i hate having only one right answer for stuff...i like to
discuss things and have an opinion and that type of thing. and i
HATE doing experiments...i couldn't get the book for the first day
because the ATM was broken and they only accepted cash where you paid
for it, so i was TOTALLY lost...other people didn't have it either, so
that made me feel a bit better. but it still sucks. wah.
so yeah, so far school has been both good and bad...i'm really tired at
night like always and i hate going to bed at 11 each night because i
have to wake up at 7 the next day...plus i have to work on the weekends
and it can be a long drive between richmond and prince george sometimes
because i'm so used to it...but for the most part, i'm having fun
