I've Been Diagnosed with a Case of...

...my life is consumed with reading, so much so that my hands always have highlighter on them, my floor is covered in fabric threads, my scissors are ruined from cutting double-sided tape, my desk has marker lines on it, and I really need a nap syndrome. 


 And it's in critical condition.  Here's why:
I'm in school.  
But you already knew that!  I'm taking 18 units which is a little above a normal class load when you're on quarters, and let me tell ya...I'm feeling it. BUT I'm not complaining.  I'm loving my classes and learning a lot! I couldn't be more grateful to be here learning what I love.  So what an awesome opportunity to share my classes with you!

Here are the classes I'm taking:
Textiles: We learn about all sorts of different materials and how they're made.  Did you know if you wash your jeans inside-out with 1 cup of vinegar the first time you wash them, the color lasts longer with every additional wash?

Professional Practice: This is my favorite class so far.  It's all about how to run our own interior design business. This is really appealing to me, because eventually I want to own my own residential design firm.

Individual Family & Development: This is a psychology class that goes through the lifespan of a person. It's required for the entire Family Consumer Science Department {nutrition, apparel design, interior design and individual family development} because each major works with the basic needs of people.

Perspective Drawing: If you follow me on Twitter, you know I'm in this perspective class.  Probably because I tweeted a picture of my latest creation. While in class. Hi Mom, I'm sorry.

If you missed my tweet, here are some pictures of a 3D model of a little girls' dresser I created using a 1 inch scale. The first cut out is a shelf for books so the little one can reach them.



The pink drawer pulls are stickers I just happened to find in my supply cabinet!


I'm really excited about this class.  Soon we'll be designing our dream room. My wheels are already spinning!

Side Note: So while I try to get over my illness {ha} I have a question.  How do you manage blogging between school, work, and being a mom? Do you have a system? I just love reading your blogs and want to keep up with comments and replying, but school comes first, of course. No, my dad did not pay me to say that.  Blogging is not a chore to me, I just wish I had more time to do it because I love it so much! Thoughts?

Love and The School Syndrome,
