DIM
One would think I'm dim witted, but no, it's an acronym for Digital Image Manipulation, which is the first class of the summer quarter. It's been awhile since posting about school. It's been a great ride so far. Lots of time spent doing homework. My lovely husband is still my support as he does all the daily chores while I do homework ( Read more... ) -
Aspartame BAD!
About 20 years ago, while I was working in an office at a printing company, a guy from composing brought me and the receptionist a drink with aspartame. After a month or so of this I started getting a wicked head-ache. I went to the doctor and he found nothing. I don't have migraines but it felt like one should feel. Sensitivity to bright light, ( Read more... ) -
Concept Development
Started the Spring quarter today. This is going to be a welcome break from the last class. Although we have 4-6 assignments per week depending on the week and the assignment, it's all about design. So my first assignment I thought I'd toss out there for y'all to ponder. I won't tell you what I wrote just yet ( Read more... ) -
Spring Break
I've been really relaxing on my spring break after the last three days of the quarter being hell. Saturday I posted my term paper on Art as a Political Statement. I'm so glad I have a wonderful husband who proofread my paper and gave me suggestions to make it better. It's been awhile since I've really written anything and being so close to the ( Read more... ) -
another 5.5 weeks
Back in March I mentioned the third week starting and I wanted to get off the roller coaster. When I get this four page term paper done, then I will be able to get off the roller coaster. The part I'm realizing is that the end of the week class is crammed with most assignments due on the weekend. Since this is only my second class and my first end ( Read more... ) -
Art History
The second class at school is Survey of Modern and Contemporary Art. I was nervous about my first class and it relaxed after the first week. I sure hope this class does the same thing. This class started on Thursday so many of the assignments will be due on either the weekend or first thing Monday, which means I will be spending many weekends ( Read more... ) -
First class almost done
5.5 weeks went by so quickly. I'm ready for the next class to begin. Now that the orientation class is done, I can start actually getting into the classes for the bachelor's degree. Online learning is so different. I miss the people contact as you would get in a classroom, however, this format is much easier to work around job and family. It takes ( Read more... ) -

second week almost over
This week is going a little better. The focus is time management and reading. We were to evaluate our reading speeds and make out a time management calendar showing where everything (work, play, school) fit. This exercise has helped me find a more relaxed balance and see that I don't need to go OCD on school. Although since I've been sick this week ( Read more... ) -
First week half over
As Monday approached, I was nervous. I logged in on Sunday to see what was up and realized there were already assignments and statements posted. Huh! I now felt I was behind the curve a bit and class hadn't even started yet. Luckily I'd read half of what I was supposed to read by that time and had only a chapter more to read ( Read more... )
