First of all, I want to apologise for my absence on this blog as of late. I've been focusing mainly on my floristry course, which is now winding up. I'm so excited for my finals next week! So I've been in planning mode for that. The course has been a fun and challenging part of my life for the last six months, but I feel ready to move onto my next adventure, whatever that might be.
Basically, once I finished school, I knew I wanted to pursue some sort of creative career. I struggled to imagine myself doing anything else. After a lot of thinking, I decided to study a Certificate III in Brisbane, which would be a six month commitment. Originally, my plan was to study graphic design, but when I rang up the school to enrol, their phones weren't working for a day. That gave me enough time to realise how much I didn't actually want to study graphic design.
For me, it was the safe and sure option. Study something that would give me guaranteed desk job, and something that I already had experience in. I knew how to use the different programs and platforms they would be teaching. People had told me I would be really good at it. But when it came down to it, I just couldn't bring myself to enrol. I remember going online to the school's website and opening tabs for every Cert III they had on offer, and closing down all of them. Except one. Floristry.
Unlike a lot of other florists, I didn't grow up with floristry as my dream job. In fact, I never really considered it as an option until that moment. It was so unexpected and new that I decided to just go for it. I arranged for some work experience at the local florist, which helped to confirm what I wanted to do, and then rang up to enrol. This time, their phones were working.
Floristry is harder than I expected. I also didn't expect to love it as much as I do. You'd think that the more time you spend with flowers, the more immune you become to their beauty. I've found that the opposite is actually true.
