Scholastics & Internships

Despite being eternally locked out of the 'Stars' scholarship program, I've been considering my options for education.
So far, my path looks like so...
+ A.A. in Architecture
/ Kitchen & Bath Certificate
/ A.S. in Interior Design
/ A.A. in Interior Design
- Interior Design License
- B.A. in Organizational Management
- M.A. in Psychology
...maybe some more Architectural courses too.

My third day of interning at Kegel & Associates, & the embarrassments just keep on coming. I've been pronouncing their name wrong the whole time. I didn't notice that one of the owners is not only in my Practicum class, but was sitting right next to me the first day of my internship. And despite my many classes in AutoCAD, I had a rusty start back into the program, so I've been making up for that my past couple of days.
Besides that, I've gotten to use AutoCAD, play more with Sketchup, and even utilize Excel that much more.
Just projecting Kegel & Associates & some USGBC seminars alone [along with some portfolio hours], I'll have all my Practicum hours by June 1st [+ 1 seminar on the 17th!].
Considering this will be the same time that I'll be moving in to my new house, and it'll be the beginning of my co-workers' maternity leave, I'll probably step back from Kegel & focus on making as much money as possible at the bank before I return to school in the Fall.
I'll have the summer to research, volunteer, & really organize my career. I'll make it a good, productive break from school.

I have some potential 'Clients' that said they'd let me lend my services to add to my portfolio, and I'd really like to take it as seriously as possible, so I'll be spending my spring break really tailoring my business plan project.
