I forgot how much I like to just sketch.
I didn't realize I'd be sketching outside of PS or AI. They've had us do a few things where we had to get out the paper and pencil. It was nice to flip open the sketch book, grab a pencil and just sketch.
I have to make a company logo. We have to sketch ideas, take a picture and upload them as part of the assignment. I need to get some new colored pencils. The ones I found are looking pretty sad.
I need to just take some time and sketch. Just mess around. I forgot what it felt like to just let my mind wander and draw. I missed this creative part of me.
Huzzah! My first business card!
It was for an assignment for UNV101.
And yeah, I blacked out stuff because some of you are shady. :)
Hopefully within the next month I will be starting my Life Coach courses. I filled the paperwork filled out last week and I called today to connect my caseworker and the school together so they can finalize the payment portion and get me enrolled. Now it just all depends on how long it takes for the program who is taking care of it.
It's 60 hours at your own pace. I have 6 months to finish it. Which will be great because Graphic Design is also work at my own pace. So it won't interfere with me getting my associates. And I need Microsoft Word. It's not included in the LC class, but I get it for free through school. Soooo.. that's a win!
I am excited about all the possibilities that are opening to me.
Every. Single. One.
They've all led me to really look and see a life I want and work towards those being a possibility. They would be changes. Changes I would be happy with if they came to fruition.
So come on, Universe! I've got lucky with a few things. Now just a little more, please?
This was pretty awesome to see this morning...
So.. my first work in Illustrator is to make a Social Media campaign.
I have a feeling Don't be a Dick.. isn't going to be acceptable.
Monday I have an appointment to go down and start filling out the paperwork for my LifeCoach class. I didn't think it would be this soon, but I'm no complaining. Both the graphic design and the life coach will be at my own pace.
I am still debating on whether I want to stop after my certification or continue on to my associates. I am just going to play it by ear right now. I have 8 weeks.
Have two projects I need to do, but I'm waiting on the school to send me the links to the creative cloud. I've not used the new PS version. I hope it's not much different than the ones I've used in the past.

You'll pick it up fast. You got skills. :)
You got this! Don't stress- take the fun away
Always in your corner!!!
Tomorrow evening is my first class. It's a meet and go over kind of thing. Then I have a call from the Admissions Representative, then then financial rep.
I am about ready to crawl out of my skin.

You got this !!!
You do got this. You are CountessMoon, remember?
Yes! I can already access my school books. I can start to read those tomorrow at some point. I also get a subscription to Office365.
I am sure the 'powerpoint' presentation is going to be helpful for things besides just school. heh.
I'm twitching a little. I think the actual courses are going to be easier than logging into all the other things and setting them up.
When I was younger my mom could always tell when I was either tired or concentrating. I would twist my hair at the bottom. I caught myself doing it tonight a few times. It's been a long time since that's happened. Brought back memories.

So happy for your new adventure
Cute vision of a Moonie twisting curls...
Yesterday I had orientation. I could feel my eyes glaze over. I need to go through and add tons of contacts to my phone- Success coaches, instructors, financial aid, admission rep. My eye is twitching. I don't know how I'm going to handle having more than 19 contacts in my phone.
At the beginning of orientation the one success coach, I watched 3, said "You can feel free to introduce yourself in the chat. There will be your classmates and other's from different programs." I just laughed and thought to myself "Nah.. I'm good. I already have to interact on the school forums for points. I draw the line at Orientation chat." I am not the social butterfly I once was. Now I'm in a perpetual state of 'stranger danger'. heh.
I have my first class on Tuesday. It's more like a second orientation to get get you set up and meet your instructor.
Design Principles and Color Theory.. and then Student Success and Technology Foundations.
