I have a new goal…

It’s simple really. I want to go back to college.

But not the kind of college you think of. When I look back on what I really, really got out of college it was two things:

#1 - Basic life skills. This includes, how not to drink too much. How to cook and do my own laundry. Setting an alarm clock and paying for staying up late. And learning how to

This! This is why I'm starting to crave learning again, and sincerely hoping that my life will be stable enough to let it happen.

I still have a hard time knowing what to focus on, but... you know, I'll try extending each of the things I feel I have potential in, and see which one impassions me most when learning.

"stable enough" -- boy doesn't that really cover it. Life is waaaaay too bouncy at times.

I was very surprised at the breadth of adult offerings some of the colleges out here have. I would hope Seattle is different.

Would you pursue formal music training?

That's a really good question. I'll admit, the one thing that's always held me back is that I remain somewhat a generalist, poking at my various amateur talents but never focussing on them long enough to truly develop them. It might be another mistake to do so, but if I went back to school... I'd probably start with some basic steps in each prominent direction - music composition, graphic design, media production - and see which tugs at me the most.

Of course, I still have the worry that this decision will never really clarify, but at least I'll get somewhere with the classes in the meantime. *grin*
