Graduating College.. A New Chapter Begins.

I feel discouraged and frustrated when after working everyday of the week on a constant basis, i still feel like i can't keep up.

maybe everyone really does have a team behind them running things and i'm the only one working a one woman show.

Last night i celebrated the fact that on March 20th, i graduated from FIDM with an AA in Graphic Design and i "walk" in June. I guess that chapter has ended and new phase begins..

I also celebrated that yesterday i launched my Spring 2009 line of my clothing line, C.TA Glam Couture! it's available on the store in the womens section and men's.

Check it.. Spring 2009 line; Tattoo Addict!

My Biggest Challenge...

Finishing up my last two weeks at FIDM, i've realized something. I knew that this year and a half of non-stop work at college caused me to neglect my style and go with jeans and a hoodie and practically never style my hair past it's natural curl but i didn't realize the strain it had on my sanity. Now that sounds worse than it is.. What i really mean is that, lately i've been so focused on my FIDM work that i've actually neglected myself. Not just projects or C.TA stuff, but i've actually ignored myself. I need to slow down once in a while and maybe not work one day out of the week. Create some balance in my life. That is my "new years resolution".. to balance out my life so i can better handle all situations. I work everyday for hours on end on every project i have and then some. I love being busy and i love doing this, but sometimes its draining. I pray that this balance will be permanent and i can finally go out and have fun and work on a regular basis.
