Did I mention that ZenBoyfriend gave me a gift certificate for two continuing ed classes at MCAD? My first class, Printmaking, starts Tuesday. Watercolor is next Saturday. I love printmaking and watercolor is something I've wanted to learn for a long time ( Read more... )

Exciting! Can't wait to hear about your storytelling class. Anything involving Kevin Kling would have to be fun.

I know I'll have fun and the class isn't for a grade, so there's really no pressure (aside from not wanting ZenBoyfriend to feel like he wasted his $$).

I'm actually 30, but I like that you think otherwise :)

Did I tell you prosecutors make less than managers at Applebee's? Also less than fraud investigators...

Just take the classes, see what happens. Only good can come of it.

As someone who's incurred six figure student loans, I SAY DO IT.

There are times I totally freak out about how I'm going to pay back that stuff, and what it means for, yknow, my huge prefab house in San Francisco. (And am jealous of Darcy, even if I don't want to be a lawyer....no direct path here!)
But the schooling I did was what made me who I am, more than most other experiences; and some people go and spend that same amount on a car or boat that they do not use every day - but you will use your knowledge and creativity every day and, even if you're 37 instead of 20, it can be a totally formative experience. Suze Orman would say no and I say if you love it then you will not regret it at the end of the day. And who knows? Maybe you'll open a gallery some day, or something, riiight?
