New Chapter
Originally published at Soft Spoken. Please leave any comments there.
This is yet another fresh start for me. I’ve had two other WordPress Blogs (first was at lostinasong.net in 2006 and then fading-flowers.com in mostly in 2007). I’m starting over again because it was a pain in the but to try to import my old WordPress Posts and also because I’m working on a new personal/portfolio website for school and I wanted to move my blog to my new domain and to make it a bit more personal. I’m also starting a new chapter of my life as well. I’m starting college. I am taking Multimedia at Lethbridge College in Lethbridge, Alberta. I decided to take Multimedia mostly because I want to get into Web Design. I had originally wanted to take Web Design at Humber College in Toronto, but they wanted me to take their Multimedia program first anyway, and since I was living in Taber when I finished high school (although I did not graduate in Taber) I decided, with the help of my uncle, to take Multimedia at Lethbridge College. I am still hoping to take the web design program at Humber after I am finished at Lethbridge. Web design and programming has been my passion since the time I was first introduced to basic HTML in a grade 8 computer programming class at Sexsmith Secondary School in Sexsmith, Alberta. Although I only learned basic HTML in high school, that gave me enough knowledge to research online and start teaching myself. Having that basic understanding of HTML has really helped me learn quickly how designing and maintaining a website works. I taught myself CSS and in the last two years started learning PHP. I know a little bit of Javascript but haven’t really gotten into it as much yet as I have with CSS and PHP. Now that I am back in school and learning all of the stuff I already love, I will gain a better knowledge of all of this. I’m very excited to be back in school, mostly just for the fact that I am taking classes that I know I will enjoy. Not like in High School where we were forced to take specific classes, and because I went to a small high school I did not have the optional classes that would have helped me along the way to the career I want. But now that high school is in the past, I have, as I’ve already said, started a new chapter of my life.
Anyways, if you would like to know more about me, please take a look at the ‘about me’ pages, which I will have up and running shortly.
That is all for this today.
