Three weeks have passed and I’ve officially started my thesis in interior design. In all honesty, I’m deathly afraid and extremely excited, all wrapped up in one. This is my beginning to my end…to what I started 2 and a half years ago. This is the last part before I finish school forever. Ok, I realize this sounds so melodramatic and kinda like a prelude to a movie with a sappy ending that involves tears and glory, but bare with me here…we all know I’m semi-dramatic. ;)

So I’ll just lay it all out there for you, completely uncut and raw. Which by the way, makes me sound like a totally legit movie-person. I am excited to be so close to the end yet so fearful of failure once I get in the real world. I have doubts & I have concerns, but I have more hopes and dreams than the first two combined. I have faith that I was brought this far for a reason and I can’t wait to see what that reason is. It’s been quite the experience and it’s not quite over yet. So for the next 5 months, I’ll be focusing more on finishing what I’ve started than anything else in my life. I’m not quite sure that I’ll have as much time to blog everyday, and I’m not quite sure how much photography work I’ll be able to take, but I’m hoping to keep up as much as possible without needing to admit myself into a psych ward at the end of it all. Because that would make for a really bad ending to my happy movie. So though I’ve never done this before, I’m asking all of you, my wonderful and amazing readers, to please be patient with me…and to keep cheering me on. Because without your support and without your cheering, I would have never, ever gotten this far. Many of you are friends, many I’ve never met, and of course there’s my mom and dad….but all of you are a huge part of my life. All of you have helped me get to where I am and without you, I’m positive I would have quit photography in the first 2 weeks. So thank you. THANK YOU. Really, with all my heart, thank you.

I’d love for you all to be a part of this journey with me as well, and so I’m sure I’ll be ranting on about my frustrations with deadlines and my joys with finding the perfect furniture layout. I’m sure I’ll share photos and love some constructive criticism. But through it all, I just want to enjoy the process as much as possible and get back to doing what I love most…creating and connecting. And have a bag of popcorn along the way. With extra butter. So, happy Monday!!.. and because every post is better with a picture, here’s one of my many inspiration photos for my thesis. *Designed by Chan Soo Khian for Alila Villas Hadahaa in the southern Maldives*
