First full week of school for me…

Sheri — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 20:47:53 +0000

Wow! What a week! I had English Composition - Technical Focus. I enjoy this class. We are going to be working on a big project. We are dividing into groups to create a presentation that will make up a very large portion of our grade. There will be a lot of research involved, along with the combined talents of our group to create graphics and props to help us to make our presentation. It seems to me that this will be a very enjoyable class.

Java Script. Ummmm, this one is going to be tough! I think that the fact of my being away from school for seven years makes this class extra hard for me. I have to catch up on some things. I didn’t have XHTML and CSS so I have to pick them up on my own while I try to get this class down. A couple of my classmates and myself are meeting for a study group. Fortunately the man heading it up knows several programming languages and totally gets what is going on in this class. He is helping those of us who don’t quite “get it” yet.

E-Commerce is interesting. I’m taking it online and most of our socializing in this class is done through a message board.

I have only had one Electronic Imaging class (Photoshop). I was looking forward to this class the most and so far like it the least. We spent four hours learning how to use the Macintosh and PhotoShop interfaces. I guess I get bored too easily. I am sure it will pick up and get more interesting as we get into it more.

Interpersonal Communications is a great class. I learn a lot by listening to our instructor and also from the input of all the students. Our class is made up of many diverse people so we get input from different backgrounds. I am learning much more in this class than just the textbook material. I think this is my favorite class.

First Day of School for me…

Today I had my first class; “Interpersonal Communications”. I enjoyed the class very much. Our instructor is both interesting and entertaining. He surprised us all with his spontaneous comedic comments, yet liberally disseminated bits of knowledge and acquired wisdom gained from his international studies and wide travels as he encouraged us to open up and probe the different facets of communication.

He was funny and smart! He helped us to get to know each other in the class and to break down the uncomfortable barriers of being “new”. He brought laughter and humor as well as very interesting anecdotes from around the world, to what could well have been a very boring subject. I like the class and plan to do my best to get an A!

Getting ready for college again

Sheri — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 01:46:34 +0000

I decided to go back to school since I recently lost my job and can’t seem to find another one. Why not take classes to get certification in something I love doing? I’ve been playing around with websites (for fun) for years. Perhaps it is time to turn it into a career. I’m gearing up to buckle down and tackle 6 classes this semester. I am registered and enrolled and ordered my books.
I’m taking:
Principles of E-Business
English Comp - Technical Focus
JavaScript Programming 1 (Hybrid)
Electronic Imaging 1 (Adobe Photoshop)
Fundamentals of Interpersonal Communication

In Octobar I’m taking Introduction to Flash.

Going through another big trial…

I lost my job. Gosh this is hard! I loved that job! I love the people I worked with, I loved the work because it was interesting and challenging. I’m praying hard to get another shot at it. If not, I know that there is something out there just for me. I have come through some pretty heavy stuff in my life. This is just another challenge for my life experience. It sure isn’t easy though.
