Back to School

Tonight is my first night of class for web design at the local community college. I have been tinkering with it for a while now and decided that I was going to go back to school and really learn it. I am a little scared, but at the same time pretty confident. I am a quick learner, and usually end up teaching myself most stuff anyways.

I am only taking one class at a time, since I do have a full time job and a family to deal with. The first course is a basic intro course. I probably do not even need this class, but I am going to take it to make sure that I am doing everything the way it is supposed to be done. I really cannot wait to take the next class that deals a lot with Photoshop. I have been playing with this program for a while now, and man is it a beast. I feel like it would take a lifetime to learn all that that program is capable of. I am finally starting to feel comfortable in it, and I don’t know shit!!

Anyways, hopefully I am not in way over my head. The class is only one night a week from 6:30pm to 10:00pm, not too bad. Todd can’t kill the kids that quickly, can he?

I love Photoshop - but you are right - there is SO much there. I am sure I don't use half the capabilities. So...once you learn it, help a sista out!
Posted by True Jersey Girl on 2005-08-26 10:49:30 I can't wait to go back to school! Though I got my B.A. the year my first daughter was born, it won't "get me very far." I'm hoping to go back once my munchkins are all in school and become a Nurse Midwife, or a Physician's Assistant. Good Luck!!
Posted by little miss on 2005-08-25 22:49:37 I have been here 16 times today. You usually post every day. Where's the beef?? I'm just sayin'...
Posted by MommaK on 2005-08-25 22:26:23 You wouldn't know from my blog (I refuse to spend anymore time on web design - period) but I am a professional web designer for a large medical company - I say if you have an interest in it.. go with it. And photoshop is the place to start.. at least the most fun place to start! you can do it!
Posted by Holli on 2005-08-25 19:50:16 I would love to go back to School and just take a class here and there. That sounds so awesome. I absolutely suck at everything Photoshop etc .... yet it just fascinates me and I would love to learn what the heck I'm doing haha. Have fun !!!!!!
Posted by LC on 2005-08-25 15:39:10 still waiting for an answer... you know my hubby is laid up with the back, and it won't be long before I start needing an alternate p.o.a.
Posted by dena on 2005-08-25 15:09:59 oh, one more thing... If you happen to be looking for guinea pigs to work layouts on, my blog is giving me a load of trouble. I can pay yah.... :)
Posted by t~ on 2005-08-25 14:56:02 God It feels great to use your brain in a challenging classroom doesn't it? I started back on Monday and I'm bouncing off the walls with glee.
Posted by t~ on 2005-08-25 14:53:16 oh, that's so cool. i use Photoshop as well, but i feel that it's a waste on me. LOL! i know there's a lot you can do with it... but i'm just too lazy.
Posted by xtessa on 2005-08-25 14:21:25 I am wanting to see th practice too ...Guppy is trying to learn Photoshop and OMG !!! What a complex program indeed ...Good Luck girlie !!
Posted by presentstorm on 2005-08-25 13:59:50 Damn! Dena took my question ;)
Posted by MommaK on 2005-08-24 22:02:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah... Now answer the important question. Were there any hot guys in your class, and would yo do the instructor?
Posted by dena on 2005-08-24 21:43:38 good for you! very brave :-)
Posted by Lou on 2005-08-24 21:09:09 Good for you! Todd can't kill the kids that quickly, maim them maybe, but not kill ;)
Posted by Spoiled-grrl on 2005-08-24 21:03:04 Good luck, I've notice quite a few Photoshop projects on your site, I think you do great job. The peanut butter jar was cool. I LOVE Photoshop. I've been playing with it for a couple of years now and still have a blast finding new things to do with it. And even with all the photos that I put on my site, I have to run them through Photoshop first. And then I always get carried away and start taking out power lines because I don't like them in the photo, or a piece of trash or the stain on the rug or the spaghetti on the walls and on and on and on...My photos are more doctored than the cover of Cosmo!
Posted by Mayberry on 2005-08-24 20:41:44 Good luck!
Posted by David on 2005-08-24 20:38:01 My hat off to you! What a great thing to do. I swore when I graduated that I would never ever go back. It took me 7 years to graduate so I was so burnt out. Can't wait to see you new Photoshop creations!
Posted by alexis on 2005-08-24 20:25:12 I love taking classes on anything and everything! I'm sure the kids will be safe. Daddies do things differently but very few actually do away with the chillin's while you're gone!
Posted by Mouthy Mom on 2005-08-24 18:46:52 Congrats for taking such a big step!! That is awesome!! Good luck! Can't wait to see your "practice work"...
Posted by Tracy on 2005-08-24 18:42:38 I've been doing the same thing over the last few years. Very slowly, but I'm getting there. My next class will be CSS in the winter. Misty, your gonna love doing this! Good for you!
Posted by some girl on 2005-08-24 18:42:04 GOOD FOR YOU!! Will we get to see your practice on your blog... new design every week maybe??? :-)
Posted by tj on 2005-08-24 18:28:59 i've actually been taking a computer course to learn more, a year ago i didn't even know how to minimize a window, yes, i was just that computer illiterate. now i have my own blog, still don't know what i'm doing, but i have my own blog!
Posted by better safe than sorry on 2005-08-24 18:25:23 I NEVER want to set foot in another school as long as I live. Just saying hello and Good Luck!!.....you will do just fine.
Posted by Sherry on 2005-08-24 18:21:06 I went back today too. I wrote about it. Good luck! And WHAT font is that! That's perfect for my syllabus!!
