Case of the Mondays

Hello pretties,

Happy Monday…and happy first day of spring! Sadly, here in Connecticut, this morning birds weren’t chirping, and flowers weren’t blooming, it was actually the opposite; cold, snowing, and gloomy. Talk about a great start to the week!

I had a nice relaxing spring break, sadly, I wasn’t lying on a beach in Mexico, or sipping mimosas by a pool, I was in my cozy home, back in Massachusetts alongside my mom, dad, sister, and two puppies. Lucky for me, I needed the rest, so I wasn’t too sad I was stuck at home. But, all that downtime made getting up early, and commuting to my internship that much more difficult this morning. And with the added ‘unseasonal’ weather it was truly the icing on the cake!

Today at my internship I created excel spreadsheets for pricing of the signature furniture line we are developing. I didn’t consider myself an excel expert, but I pulled it off. It was such a tedious task, and with all the commotion of construction mixed with my frozen fingers and body sitting in this cold, cold, factory, it was a looooong day! It’s so tough getting back into your schedule after having a week without responsibilities.

As I’m writing this, I’m thinking about the rest of my semester, and the tasks I have from now until May. It’s crazy how fast it is going by, and I know these last seven weeks are going to come and go in the blink of an eye….

That’s all for now!

With love,

Opportunity

For some, opportunity knocks all the time. But for me, I feel like I’ve suddenly been flooded with opportunity and I can’t say I hate it. I went into my junior year of college knowing I love my major, and had a feel for what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. As you readers know, that is interior design. Whether I’m watching television shows, reading magazines, scrolling through Instagram, this world of design follows me everywhere.

With this little space of mine on the internet, I wanted to make this spot yet another place for my passions to come alive. As I sit here, at my internship on this beautiful Saturday, February 20, I am perfectly content with where my life is headed. I have this internship, which while it can be draining, is great for my experience. I am learning a lot about business and design, and I think in the long run, this is going to be a resume builder.

While speaking with the owner this morning, we discussed the future, and he said that the door here is always open for me. This made me feel good. It made me feel like I have already shown him, by my two weeks of being here and knowing him, that I am capable to grow and prosper within his company. He has the entrepreneurial spirit that I aspire to have; he has big dreams, and an even bigger determination to pursue them. He’s going to do great things, and I hope that I can be apart of it someday, and that I can be as successful as this man.

Much Love,
