It's Official....

For many years I have had a dream... Every time I would make the short drive to Orem... I always passed by a sign that said 'become a Graphic Arts Designer' (well may be it didn't say it quite that way, but you get the message). In my mind a seed was planted... and I eventually started saying; "When I grow up I am going to be a Graphics Art Designer". I guess I'm finally growing up. I am officially enrolled as a Student at the 'Art Institute of Pittsburgh on-line'. Can you believe it? Me a student, I haven't been in school for 30 years. I am so excited and very nervous. My 1st goal is to receive my Digital Design Certificate. My 2nd goal is to get a degree in Graphic Arts. My 3rd goal is to have fun while learning. My first class begins on Monday, April 4. To my amazement I passed the computer literacy test, so I'm going straight to classes. I guess I'm a little smarter than I thought I was. I'm starting with just one class so I can get the hang of it. This class goes for 5 1/2 weeks. If it goes well after a couple of classes I may start going full time, which is 2 classes a session. Either way I will have my design certificate by the fall of 2012 (so about 18 months). Well wish me luck, and I hope to show you what I am learning through my blog.

*just a little side note: maybe I would have benefited from being on Facebook with all of you. With my on-line campus they do alot of chatting and posting and because of my determination to avoid Facebook, I am a little illiterate in this field. I may have to breakdown and join Facebook so I can learn this way of living... lol

Where did March go???

I think March just passed me by. March was pretty un-eventful. But I did make some BIG decisions... LIFE is good.
