So what does this mean then?

My first day back at school. I had been excited all last week about it and then this morning as the time got closer, I got more nervous. I don't know why, really. I love school. People are there to talk to and it makes me feel like I have friends. Plus I get to do art stuff.

I got to my first class: Photoshop. (actually, the name of the course is Image Manipulation I) 

For those of you who missed the blog on my fiasco with this program,

 go here: I wanted to poop on Photoshop.

Anyway, I logged into the computer and saw my academic status was updated...to Dean's Honor Roll! Wow, it sounds exciting, huh? I don't know what it means really, I haven't received anything yet, so I am going to see my financial advisor and ask if there is any monetary benefit here. That would totally rock.

Now, about this nervousness. I think it's because I want to learn Photoshop, but am nervous about learning it. Maybe it's because I have all new teachers this time and I'm not familiar with their teaching method and expectations. The nerves subsided a bit when my instructor started class. She's younger than me, a big gamer and goes very slow. So for the people that have used Photoshop before - ha. ha. ha. HA. HA. ha. But for the four people in class that have never used it, the going slow part is great. (I include myself in this foursome since I've never been properly taught in this program) Also, the teacher counts homework at 50% of the total grade, which I agree with because I always hated in other classes that students who didn't do the homework assignments always seemed to pass anyway.

My other class on Mondays is a typography class. I think I might like this class because our first two assignments that are due remind me of when I was younger and doodled on my notebooks and my pants, shoes and whatever else. We get to draw and design letters then transform them on the computer so it can be used as a typeface! I will try to write a blog with a font I will be designing for a final project. 

I like the teacher. I've had her before as a substitute. She gets a little lost in explanation of assignments because she goes off on tangents, but she always circles back around and is good about answering questions. I told my friend, Nick, that I had her for class and he said, "Oh, I don't like her, I got a beef with that woman." I don't know what that's all about, but she doesn't bother me.

Ok, I'm off to draw pictures now.
