First week of school

School started this week. It's my last semester at this college. In January I will be graduating with an A.S. in Visual Arts/Photography. It's hard to believe I'm here already. Of course, I'm not stopping. I will be transferring to a 4 year school to earn a Bachelor's. I'm not going too far with my Associates.

The first class this week was an art class; Basic Drawing. The teacher was so anal that I spent Wednesday morning rearranging my classes so I could take it with another teacher. Thankfully it all worked out. I do have an evening lab which I didn't want but it's much less an issue that staying in that first drawing class. I've started working on my web design class that I'm taking online and I really like. My Environmental Science class is online too. It amazes me how many courses are offered through online learning. I do like the science class. I want to learn more about this beautiful world and what I can do to make it a better place to live. Art History is awesome too. It's hard to believe that I was panicked January at thought of taking the first Art History class. It's one of my favorites now.

I am constantly surprised at how much better my life is now than 5 years ago when I got sober. I'm losing weight (40 lbs. so far), I'm in college, and I've discovered a spiritual community that sustains me. Life is good!
