dreams. unrealistic?



Soo... I've been dreaming a bit today. I've got my head in the clouds, and I'm not quite sure I'm thinking too realistically. Or realistically at all, for that matter. I don't know when it all began, but I made up this idea in my head that I'd love to get involved with fashion, whether it be writing for a fashion magazine, fashion design, or something else. However, once this idea popped into my head, I was too far along in my college career to change my major and transfer schools for a major that was, well, pretty unrealistic. Because, seriously, how many girls from rural Wisconsin do you know that are involved in fashion? Yeah, I'm guessing not many. Regardless, I pushed that dream to the back of my mind, and that's pretty much where it's stayed.

I looked at the FIDM website today. I printed off an application, and I looked into creating a portfolio. Am I nuts? I know I'm going to finish my advertising degree at UWM before I do anything else, so I suppose I'm not totally nuts. But is dream too lofty for me? Am I setting my hopes on something that I really won't ever actually go for? Hmm... oh well, a girl can dream, right? The realistic plan, for now, is to finish my degree, save some money for a couple of years, and then go chasing whatever dreams I may have, which (hopefully) won't require another degree (realistically...).

I've said "realistic" so much that it doesn't even sound like a word anymore. Oh, boy.

no dream is too "lofty".
