Destiny or Debt?

First day of class and the teacher already has me thinking…is Interior Design for me? I’m in this for the long run, I’m paying all this money for the degree, and I already have a diploma in Residential design…..I sure dang hope it is!!!! I do love the idea of space and the idea of making space my own or whoever is going to inhabit that space. So I guess that means Interior Design is right for me, right? I do love making people happy when I give them ideas for their home or when I helped my mom fix up my old room when I left for college, making it something other than a “princess” room that she could feel comfortable having her “adult” guests stay in. I personally liked the princess room, but apparently it wasn’t fit for the older crowd. I always enjoyed fixing interior spaces up and making them clean and spotless, and always making sure that every little thing was in its rightful place and that it felt right where it stood. So I guess talking through all of this and realizing how close these thoughts of interior design relate to my home, my childhood, and even my mother. I almost want to say that this profession was meant for me. If fixing up a space and making it entirely something different, beautiful, safe and clean can make me happy then I can only imagine what it would do for those I design for. Making people happy and pleasing people with my achievements has always been very important to me and it seems to me to be important to the profession of an Interior Designer. So again I’m guessing that this does mean this profession is the right thing for me. Wow this blogging thing sure helps you realize a lot. Thank GOD I’m sure my mom will be a lot happier with the money spent. Speaking of money spent, I think those who talk poorly about Interior Design as a profession needs to realize how much time we spend learning this field and that we are paying for that time spent learning because we want to be good at Interior Design.  Interior Design is so important in every aspect of life. If doing it is what makes me happy and makes those whom I design for happy than those nay-sayers can just be another critic that I am happy to ignore.
