I just finished the 3rd week of my 2 and half year fashion design course and I am absolutely loving it. After months of months of wondering if this was really for me and trying to justify the thousands of dollars the course will be costing me I finally know that this is really for me! It's such wonderful feeling to finally know what goal in life you want to pour all your energy into. Because It's awfully depressing being in limbo of where you want to take yourself in life.

I've been learning this wondering mix of sewing, pattern making, design, illustration, computer class and then the theory class where we learn how the whole industry works. My mind has been overwhelmed but I am soaking up all this marvellous education and practical hands on learning like a sponge.

Before I had decided on Fashion Design I had thought about studying Graphic Design however I decided against it. Sitting in front of a computer for a career didn't sound all that fun to me. I love to be practical, use my hands, get amongst it and be tactile with things. Which is why I think I didn't excel as well as I could of at school. Listing to a teacher talk on and on and copying notes off a whiteboard did little to engage or inspire here. So Fashion school is just a whole new world for me It is just perfect for such a visual person like me.

For me, it's like how the old MasterCard ad goes ...
