So. I have been putting off going to see an academic advisor at the university of choice for a long time (about 3 years) because I was so scared that they would tell me I'm not smart/good enough for school. I know, so stupid of me to think that. But I did! And I was really scared to go!
BUT.
Today I faced my fear.
I drove myself down to school. Wandered around for a good hour or so killing time and psyching myself up to going to talk to the advisor.
I went and signed in and waited about 15 more minutes to talk to this lady.
Then I went in, she told me a few simple things I needed to do before I could register for classes.
She then asked me what my major was.
Come to find out I am 1 year away from having my BFA in Fine Art. ONE YEAR!!!?!
One year.
I didn't think I was SO close to the end of the school tunnel! SUCH an exciting feeling.
I left her office just beaming and ran home to reapply so I could register!
Then I looked at all the classes I have to look forward to taking in the next 4 semesters.
I do have a few general classes left, Math, English, and Astronomy.
But then I get to do fun classes!
Photography
Painting
Figure Drawing
Ceramics
Baroque History
Sculpture
and other such classes!
I am so excited, I can't even believe how close I am. Holy Moly!!!
ALSO Harry Potter is in ONE week! Today is such a great day!
:)
PS once I figure out how to use my scanner I will be putting some of my artwork on here to celebrate! Happy Schooling!

education and such
Sunday, March 7, 2010
This last week I've been thinking a lot.
Anyway, with all that thinking came research.
I looked up how many semesters/credits I have left until I am done done.
I have
drumroll
6 years left.
6 YEARS, people.
But. By the time I'm done I'll have 3 degrees and a teaching certificate so that will be awesome.
I just can't help thinking about how lucky/blessed we are to live in a place where we get to choose whatever we want to be when we grow up. We can do something we love and make money doing it? Living the dream is what I say. Seriously. When you get an education it opens a whole world of doors and career opportunities.
Mom was telling me about this guy who decided not to go get a college education and he had an awesome job and was supporting his family just fine with the job he had-- then he got in an accident at work that left him not being able to work at that place anymore and now he's starting at square one and is having a really hard time because he can't support his family with the odd jobs he's picking up right now--especially in this economy as it is.
I need to remember how lucky I am and that education is really a privilege more often when I'm working on endless projects and breaking my back leaning down over my sewing machine. I may hate it today and this semester but down the road it's going to be awesome! I can't wait.
Just have to remember to take it one day at a time. 6 years is way too overwhelming to think about!
Sorry. Rambling happens when I've been thinking about something for awhile then it all just appears as word vomit on the blog.
What do I want to be when I grow up?
Which degrees will get me to where I need to/want to go?
Why an education?
