Back-Ups!

I'm realizing that some of my hobbies or the small things I take pleasure in can be a bigger part of my life. Especially if zoology doesnt pan out for me when I'm through with school. It's always good to have back-ups. Plus, they're the things I miss not doing and I've been wondering how to incorporate them into my life and I think I've sort of figured it out.

First off, after a wild and crazy day, I'm realizing how much I love decorating, rearranging furniture, and staging rooms. I find this a little funny as I always felt my room growing up was bare. But perhaps I didnt quite have the bug then. I also think I didnt go through with my plans a lot because of money. It's one thing to think up an idea and another to actually get to create it, which is why I never realized quite how much I loved it until recently. For example, my mother thought I was crazy for buying picture frames, etc for my room at home to decorate it when I was leaving for college in Hawaii within the month. I think I did it because I love to decorate and because I'm getting older and I'm at that point in my life where I want to own my own place, or at least my own apartment, and that means making it my own. And working at TJ Maxx I saw a lot of people who staged houses and who were interior decorators, and today it just got me thinking. In the future I could do something like that. It's all about networking and making connections and just letting people know you're out there. And for now I could just take simple everyday pieces and sell them online or something. It'd be great!

My other passion is dancing and choreography. This is the harder one. I would like to take a class or two at college so I can sharpen my skills and get back in to dancing because I miss it. I'm hoping that by doing so it will mean I have some sort of future with it, even if it's just recreational or volunteering.

Anyways, there will probably be more added later, but I'm a little preoccupied.
