Seattle on my mind!!!

I'm sure y'all know what this blog is about by now!  Some I'm just gonna leave you at that!

the details....so far....

no later than september 22nd, 2011 i plan to travel the 800+ miles from the quiet bubble of west jordan, to a new world. the town i have desired to reside in since the tender age of 9. the town that cannot help but to call my name. Seattle. yes, i know, it rains a lot. There is bad traffic, weird people, and a few vampires. and i cannot wait. the city itself has so much to offer me. the people, the city, the culture, the way of life. it is everything i am in  need of. why september 22nd? well, lots of reasons. 1st being, the semester starts in october, so i need to be settled for when school starts. 2nd. on september 22nd, 2008 i made a decision in my life to give up what was important for me, and change my thinking to what was important for someone else. this was the day that i decided to not go to seattle for school. and three years is long enough to give up your dream. i refuse, i repeat, REFUSE to give up my dream for more than three years. doesnt work for me. so im doing it! I plan on attending the Art Institute of Seattle and i am seeking a BS in Fashion Marketing. This is a degree i have been seeking since i was only a young child. i know that people change their minds a ton about what they want to be when they grow up. Well, I am not one of them. This is my passion. Not just the fashion of it, but the marketing even more so. anyone who knows me knows that I am a business girl. I was the president of the DECA club all three years in high school. I was the president of the Fashionista Club two years in a row. I am in love with this. it is me. my true friends know this about me. I know, this school is ridiculously expensive, and the city isnt cheap either. I will need to save just under $5000 to go to seattle comfortably, and to start school on the right foot. sounds pretty insane huh? i may have to sell my car, rent a uhaul, and ride my bike around town for an entire year. but by god, i am going. my horoscope for 03/02/2011 says "when it comes to fear that you are feeling for a certain situation, you need to tackle it head on. look at a situation, and think of the worst way for it to turn out. as long as you can tell yourself that its not so bad, go for it!" and the truth is, i have done so. I have thought about everything it will take for me to go to seattle, and the worst case scenario when i get there. I have surpassed that fear, and come to terms with all the options. and i am so ready...here i come!

rain won't last forever...

Unless your in Seattle. Which is exactly where I plan to go. I can't get the idea out of my head. I have wanted to go to school in Seattle since I was 15. And for years and years I have put it off for reason after reason. A man, money, fear of leaving the nest, etc... but finally I am in a place in my life where I have the means to go! I am so ready for an adventure. I am going up there blindly and I may have to live in my car and shower at truck stops but by god I am going to do it! I am so ready! I applied for school and everything! I am so nervous and so excited but I just need to jump without looking and hit the ground running. It will be hard work and I will have to bust my ass but I am finally prepared to do so. Because I have nothing to lose. The worst that could happen is I could fall flat on my face and come back home. And then, at least I tried! I am sick of wondering what if. This is not gonna be a what if. I am so determined to make this a reality. Wish me luck! More updates soon!
