Dear Journal,
I can't believe it is a new quarter in school already and I have three classes under my belt now with a total of 3 college credits! I have two As and a B+, with a GPA of 3.70, so I am really quite proud of myself. I am attending The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division and am enjoying it so far immensely. I am going for my Bachelor of Science Degree in Photography.
My new class was to be Color Theory, but I was not enjoying that class at all because it uses Adobe Illustrator software in which I am not familiar. I talked to my Academic Advisor and told her I was very lost in this class. I almost took a month off because I have a lot going on, but, in the end, I decided it would be a bad idea. I felt like if I left now I would never come back. I've done that once before with The Institute of Children's Literature when I was much younger. I am angry with myself now for not finishing that course after I paid for it. To finish it now, I would have to pay an additional $600+ that I don't have, and I don't want to be a quitter again. I plan to finish what I started this time!
I am taking Transitional English this time along with an Adobe Illustrator workshop. Maybe next time Color Theory rolls around, I will be much more prepared to take it. One of my assignments in my textbook is to write in a journal for 15 minutes a day. I have been severely neglecting this journal for quite a while now, so I plan to come back and write in it again and keep up my journal per my textbook assignment. I hope to polish my writing skills while taking this English class. I am loving it so far! Will keep you posted!
Happy Blogging!
Susan
