wow, i'm really good at being very sporadic with my updating....

So big news w/ Me...

I am a college student!!!!!

I'm a student at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh - Online Division.  I'm still having "Pinch me, is this really true?" moments.  I feel as though this is a long time dream that I never really dared to believe in and now its happening.  A few years ago, soon after High School (I don't remember the exact dates anymore) I applied to and was accepted to The Art Institute of Philadelphia.  I was accepted into the Photography program.  And I really wanted to go.  Looking back now I can CONFIDENTLY and happily say that God had other plans.  I wouldn't trade everything that I've done in the last 8 years for ANYTHING.  And seeing the way that God has worked in my life is nothing compared to "what could have been" had that happened.  Don't get me wrong...I was pretty heartbroken when I had to give it up.  And actually w/in the last year I broke down in tears when I came across some of the paperwork and information packets I still have from then.

So here's the story. 

10/28/08  Talked to the Admissions director at AIPOD.  and by talked i mean TALKED!  i was on the phone with Bill (who is just awesome btw) for something like 6 hours that day.  He talked me through EVERYTHING! and by the next day I was accepted and enrolled. 

11/13/08  Started my computer class!  I'm not one to mess around and plan ahead!  :)

going into my 4th week.  So far i'm getting a 98.5% in the class.  This class goes through 12/20/08.  My brain sometimes takes mini vacays and wanders away.   but it usually comes back....

So that's that!  Pretty stellar right?!

I have some other things to update about but I'll try to do it another time quite soon.
