I have started a new chapter in my life.  At the young age of 53, I decided to go back to school and study graphic design/multimedia.  I was at first excited and scared at the same time.  Mostly scared that my brain would not function the way I needed it to and at first I was a little freaked out trying to remember what classes I had, at what time, and on what day.  I loved all my classes and felt like a sponge that just sucked it all up.  I could hardly wait the for next class to learn more.  I had no idea how competitive I was with myself in trying to get good grades.  I would stay up every night almost, until 2am working on homework.  It paid off in the end as I got 3 A's and 1 B+.  Not too shabby after 35 years.


I took 13 credit hours last semester (started out with 18 until reality set in) and this semester I will be taking 15 credit hours.  I know it is going to be a lot of work, but I really want to be able to take as many classes as I can and there are so many pre-requesits.  We will see how it goes.


I am really proud of my girls for going to college, especially while they are working.  I know it is really hard for them but I know they will be glad they did it while they are young and their brain still works.  They are amazing.
