I'm Back!

It's been over a month since I've posted on this blog. My apologies.....
I hope to start school March 28th so that means I have six months to get a portfolio together,apply and be ready to start this journey.

I'd been away a while trying to make sure I do want to go back into this industry. My second career choice was Finance in the area of investments. Well Architecture won.

I hope to be relocating by the end of the year to the city where I plan to attend school. I'm nervous and excited all into one. I've both heard and read it can take years to build your reputation as a great Architect but I'm open to many careers under this field,especially education. Professor.Doesn't that sound great.

I'm going to email the college to see what they would expect from me in a portfolio to be admitted into their college of Design. A short goal list will be necessary for this to flow smoothly.

  • Pay a debt to my old University so I can gain access to my transcripts
  • Prepare a Portfolio
  • Apply to the University (and be accepted)
  • Have my drafting table shipped to me (currently in my hometown at a friends house who isn't talking to me....sighs)
  • Re-up on my drafting, model making, and drawing supplies.
  • Check out a book on a Career in Architecture.
  • Research Grant opportunities for Architecture students.
  • Locate my jump drive that has plenty of old projects and drafted floor plans, blueprints etc.
  • Relocate to the L.A area.
  • Find a job that offers tuition reimbursement.
  • Find a job.
  • Tap into it

I'm finally at a point in my life where I can make this finally happen. I have no distractions. No kids, no husband.

Comments and Suggestions below...This is going to be fun.

Sincerely,

Go
