I've been back at it for the past year and am more than half way through. I love how it feels to be learning later in life, since this time around I know its what I really want. <br /><br />I've taken both of the courses you mention, and really enjoyed them. The colour course was truly transformative though. I've never been able to look at the world the same way since. Now, all I see is an infinite variety of colour, and it's a fabulous way to live. :) <br /><br />Good for you, and good luck!girlaboutOtownhttp://www.girlaboutotown.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-26525826306036862582009-08-31T10:20:50.884-04:002009-08-31T10:20:50.884-04:00I think that's great that you're going bac...I think that's great that you're going back to school for something you're passionate about--and those classes sound like a lot of fun!

As Pam says, we are happiest when we are learning.<br /><br />You will need a fair sized bag for all your drafting supplies. I ended up with a couple of them - a big one for my drafting supplies and a smaller one for the other classes. The colour class will be fun - you get to mix paints and make your own paint chips!<br /><br />Just talking about all this has inspired me to get out my drafting board and supplies. I loved watching a space coming together on a piece of vellum.<br /><br />And it WAS great getting together - I still can't believe we filled FOUR HOURS with non-stop talking. We are going to have to do it again soon!<br /><br />Good luck - and look forward to hearing about all the FUN you are going to have!Donna @ Paisley and Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299989919872667627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-45219717255838907312009-08-30T11:01:58.587-04:002009-08-30T11:01:58.587-04:00Rodney Dangerfield and the 'senior' prom. ...Rodney Dangerfield and the 'senior' prom.

You will LOVE school and I know you will do great. Maria over at Colour Me Happy is also a huge inspiration to me -- she is so talented, as is Michelle at A Schematic Life. <br /><br />If you want to learn about Color in the Garden, stop by this link: http://egardens.blogspot.com/2009/01/color-in-garden.html<br /><br />Also, if you ever get to take a Workshop from Mike Lin, RUN don't walk! He is from the University of Kansas and teaches sketching and drawing using a very quick method. He travels all over the country teaching design students how to draw and sketch and produce very quick and beautiful renderings.<br /><br />Good luck to you!Pam Kerstinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180448328445549120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-38989644040767177922009-08-30T08:22:21.604-04:002009-08-30T08:22:21.604-04:00By your title, I thought you were going to tell us...By your title, I thought you were going to tell us how you get no respect! LOL! Well, good for you going back to school. I knew I wanted to do interior design (back in the day) but, stupidly, never finished. Biggest and really only regret I've ever had. I did an online course afer my 40th birthday only because I didn't have the money or the patience to go through 2 more years of school. <br /><br />I did go back to school as an adult and it took me 5 years to get a 2 year Associates degree in Criminal Justice. I couldn't do that again!<br /><br />Anyway, I would let the bag you use seek you out. Use your backpack for now, and then check out some of the bags that the office supply stores have - really - our Staples has some really nice bags. You'll also see just how much room you need, what you'll be needing to carry, how much weight you can handle carrying, all that kind of stuff. Have fun!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-27650027632801915142009-08-30T07:40:14.978-04:002009-08-30T07:40:14.978-04:00Good luck Kelly!
