Okay so the new year is approaching and I don't do resolutions but I do like to set goals so here they are:

I have just completed my first quarter at FIDM and learned so much about myself. In my first draft of this post I listed everything, but for the sake of time I have shortened the list and divided them into three parts: Strengths, Weaknesses and Observations

Strengths: Delegating. I really liked being the team leader and assigning project parts according to their strengths and talents.
Weakness: If it’s not done to my standards I will do it myself.

Weakness: Details. I want the basic facts and I don’t read through the whole syllabus.
Observation: I will be able to pick out a great assistant.
Strength: I can see the big picture. Also now that I know I can put that into application next quarter.

Observation: I am the new Elle Woods. But in reverse. Elle at Harvard is me at FIDM. In business school I was the creative one, in fashion school I am all business - who knew!

I am dealing with a whole different skill set at FIDM. I am consistently being taken out of my element and I need to work on my recovery time. I let some things fall to the way side and I am using this vacation time to pick things back up and take a look at my life and time management from the outside. I really thought that I would be taking business classes only – using my head, not my hands. To be effective in the fashion industry you have to know how to use both, well.

Good luck Travelers and I will see you next quarter!

"Finals Week" at FIDM is not just one week. I have two weeks worth of finals, one week of physical projects and presentations and one week of written tests and assignments. I have shut down all other forms of life that don't have to do with a grade until......I got tagged. Twice! Two of my favorite women and mentors in the Bloggosphere thought enough of me to tag me; Toby Bloomberg of Diva Marketing, and Luckie Daniels of AndSpeakingofPink.

So here are the rules:

7 Things About Me you didn't already know
Tag 7 people to follow

I am going to do two of them so you will get 14! One will be posted here and the other at ASOP.

1. I wish I could be just like Beyonce when it comes to talking about relationships. When I like a guy the whole world knows!



2. I miss taking ballet classes



3. I've been entertaining the idea of hiring an assistant



4. I want to work for the national office of my sorority sometime around the age of 40



5. I want to dabble in Product Placement for emerging artists and get them in big movies such as Devil Wears Prada or Sex and the City, or shows like Lipstick Jungle or Ugly Betty.



6. I think my self-esteem resides in my hair. I went natural back in 2007 and am on a mission to grow my hair healthy and long (or a really big big b i g fro).
   


7. I want 7 ladybugs tattooed on me at some point, but I'm trying to figure out exactly where so that they remain discreet in the corporate world. I already have two...5 more to go
