2000-2009 - Decade in review!

Jan 06, 2010 15:14

Yeah, yeah, the decade doesn't start till next year, blah blah blah, whatever. I'm writing this now because 2000 was a big year for me and 2000-2009 looks better to me than 2001-2010. Plus, a period of 10 years is a decade no matter when it is. So there. I wanted to do one so I wrote one. Feel free to take it!

1. Where were you when the year ( Read more... )

Like this! I think I'll do it. I actually was never quite clear on the timing of your WOLBI studies vs graphic design degree. Oh, so you did WOLBI in the middle. It's all so clear now. :-P Interesting... it was an eventful decade, wasn't it...

LOL! No, actually, the graphic design degree was entirely after WOLBI. Post-high school and pre-WOLBI I did one semester of college, where I got 3 gen. ed. courses out of the way, plus a fun elective (Intro to Theatre). Then I did two years at WOLBI. It wasn't till about half way through my second year at WOLBI that I decided I wanted to major in graphic design when I went to "real" college. I didn't know anything about g.d. till I talked with a friend who was WOL's graphic designer (still is, I think) and it just sounded PERFECT for me. Turns out it was, but I really haven't used it much.

Yes, it was a very eventful decade!

Please do it! I'd love to read others'.

Is WOLBI an associate's degree? Bachelor's? None? I'm confused.

WOLBI doesn't grant degrees, but they are accredited. If you go to any other Christian college afterward, you will have all your Bible classes (and then some) out of the way. (My brother Seth had some gen. ed. classes done from dual enrollment, and then a year at WOLBI, and he transferred into a Christian college's Bachelor's program as a second semester Junior!) Even some secular colleges accept their credits, if you actually have to take a class at secular college that was similar to one at WOLBI ( ... )

Wow, I didn't know your mom's accident happened on her wedding anniversary day!

Yep. Makes it even worse! She was going to fly home that day and she and dad were going to celebrate.

It was good to get a sense of the timeline of all these events! :)
