And now...

A new journey always I guess. That is a good thing though, right?

After discovering that the school I have been attending and paying a crazy amount for is not accredited, well they are but they are owned by those who accredit them, yeh fishy, and none of the credits will transfer to ANY other school, so with all that and more I have decided to not go back. I feel really good about this decision. I feel a fair bit frustrated about the $6300 I have already invested but that was a choice I made and have to live with, which will be ok. I just know that in the end $60000 will not be worth it. I already have been sewing for 11 years and have a lot of knowledge,I just have to motivate myself to get where I want to go without a shody degree I have paid way too much that no one respects. During the last 6 months I have been going I have learned little that I did not already know, excpet that one of the major instructors is very disorganised, gossips too much and sometimes very confused, :P. But so with that said. I am excited to have a little less stress on that end and more time to spend sewing and creating as opposed to doing homework.

I still have an internal struggle with the lack of having a bachlors in anything but as my mom said that must have been installed when I was younger from my dad, thinking I can not be a success without a degree. I logically know that is not the case. So I am trying to force that in my thick skull!


I just hope I can motivate myself enough :)

Monday Monday :)

Although it is 11 pm so almost to Tuesday :)

I had been dealing with a difficult person at work as of recent and still being the newest person makes it a tad bit difficult to filter through everyone's personalities etc. And since I am a hard person to get to know and normally the observer, my personality does not always show through, which in ways I think is good. But anyway rambling. So I was googling ways to difficult people and I particular likes this blurb on it. Sadly I do not remember where I found it so I apologize for not being able to cite that.

PRACTICE INDIFFERENCE AND EMOTIONAL DETACHMENT- LEARN HOW NOT TO LET A JERK TOUCH YOUR SOUL

Management gurus and executives are constantly ranting about the importance of commitment, passion and giving all you have to a job. That is good advice when your bosses and peers treat you with dignity. But if you work with people who treat you like dirt, they have not earned your passion and commitment.

PRACTICE GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS WITHOUT REALLY CARING.

DO NOT LET THEIR VICIOUS WORDS AND DEEDS TOUCH YOUR SOUL: LEARN TO BE COMFORTABLY NUMB UNTIL THE DAY COMES WHEN YOU FIND A WORKPLACE THAT DESERVES YOUR PASSION AND FULL COMMITMENT.

:)

Well I figured I would try and update since I invited some new friends to the space. However I have barely anything here but me yammering on :P what's new, eh? I wish I had more pics to post, I need to work on that. I have done a few projects for school I need to take pictures of but again have yet to do that, and I just finished a bag but eh I am not that happy with it, as much as I had hoped to be. And I started a bright scrappy quilt. So anyway, I shall try and get those done once my final is over tomorrow and have a break from school next week.
