Sorry it's been a while.
A while back I confessed a regret in
city_of_dis's LJ about something in my past. Thursday I went in with the idea that I would look around, ask some questions and start the process in doing something about that regret. By the time I left that day, I had been carried away to go well beyond just looking into things. I had three student loans in my pocket. By friday I had student housing lined up and had gone through orientation for new students.
My regret? Not really getting the solid design degree I really wanted back when I was younger.
Now?
I am officially a Graphic Design student at the Art Institute of Sounthern California.
At the moment I have huge doubts and fears. I am terrified on levels I didn't know existed inside me. But at the same time I am excited and really hopeful about my future now.
In other news, the same day my classes start - this monday - my oldest son Ian leaves to be sent off to bootcamp for the United States Air Force. I am terrified for him on levels I didn't know existed inside me. He's very exicetd and hopeful about his future.
I pray with all my being that we both succeed and that both our futures are bright, healthy and take us to where we will be safe, secure and happy.
