that rosebud girl

Let the insanity begin!

Somehow, I thought taking three classes this semester at Sac City was going to be a good idea. Like I wasn’t doing anything else. Pshaw. But I’d taken a semester off and was feeling the itch to learn new things. And to think creatively in another way. Etc., etc., etc.

I’m really excited though about all my classes. I had to add everything at the last minute, so I’m glad I also got into those classes. (Well, knowing the teachers probably helped. Not to mention being able to tote around my own computer with all the software). I’m doing the student-run graphic design studio class (kickass projects), learning After Effects (yay to animation and motion graphicky stuff) and finally taking a photography class.

I don’t think I’ve taken this many units at City in a few years. The workload will be pretty insane. But I do like the idea of being able to do some new things. The studio class is working on a few high-profile projects and some multimedia stuff, plus I get to go back to my print roots and produce a nice piece for a show later in the year.

Photography has me especially excited since I own a dSLR now and I’ve been wanting to take a serious photography class for years. The assignments should be a lot of fun (and take a long time). Looking at previous students’ portfolios absolutely blew my mind! And I’ve got some fun travel plans, like going to Guam and Japan, and really hope to take some awesome photos there.

I might be regretting the time crunch come March, but well, insanity is the only way I know, right?
