But you must stay blogging, because when you finish your schooling and begin to do graphic design, you already have your marketing base. Perhaps the people around you in class seem to create great designs. But you have something special...you already have an Internet presence, 357 people following your blog to mention a few. We already understand the value of graphic design. <br /><br />It's like you out of everyone in your class, has an entire Internet fan group waiting to see what you will create, so that we can buy it!!!!!!!<br /><br />P.S. When I was working as a computer analyst back in 1978, I went away for school to the Xerox Leesburg Training Center. I was the slowest in the class learning how to use that darn Xerox 860. But, I went on to be one of the most sought after support reps. Why? I knew better than anyone else how it felt to struggle learning how to use that darn machine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-38269675517685124892010-05-20T06:20:55.355-05:002010-05-20T06:20:55.355-05:00Yay for your A!

I'm happy to read your posts when you post. Don't let it stress you.<br /><br />I hope you stay the course with school. My father used to say that anything worth having requires hard work. I have to agree with that when it comes to education. I'm proud of you for making an A. I will tell you what I used to tell others when they would ask me how I maintained my GPA, and it's this... go into each course as if it's an adventure and try to find interesting points each day to learn. Convince yourself that learning whatever it is is going to be beneficial to you, and when you start looking at it that way, you can sit through the most boring lectures with real enthusiasm. Look for the pearls... like when we go thrifting. There are pearls in there!<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-39058669230206036102010-05-19T11:09:50.032-05:002010-05-19T11:09:50.032-05:00It's important to do what you need to do.

Blogging, for me, is a treat, something with which I reward myself. My posts have been rather scattered and not very inspiring lately, but I do it for me, not for others. Find your own rhythm, don't feel obligated. <br />That said, we all enjoy when you do post!<br />Congrats on the A!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-68539366244307647192010-05-19T10:06:45.224-05:002010-05-19T10:06:45.224-05:00Great job on the A!

Both my daughter are in school and I don't know where they get the energy to do anything besides school and homework...so I think I can see what you are going through.<br /><br />Selfishly, I hope you keep blogging. It doesn't have to be often and it can always be a short post.

Pls. don't give it up entirely...just a once a month shout out from you would at least keep us all in touch. <br />To me, there is no GOOD or BAD blogging. It is something we all can do at our own pace...and I also know it isn't for everyone. I've had 2 friends that thought they wanted to blog but after a few weeks, decided they wanted to do something else with their time.<br />As others here have said that YOU know what is best for you and your family ....but I am sayin', PLEASE DON'T DELETE YOUR BLOG...not until you have TOTALLY decided against having one. Once you've done that, then, it's probably time to move on. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......<br /><br />I can't even imagine how hard going back to school must be. I am so in awe of you and Earl both. <br />Congratulations on the A !<br />My love, bjbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-61287040187081223792010-05-19T08:20:44.053-05:002010-05-19T08:20:44.053-05:00I think going back to school would be sooo hard!

It matters so much more to you when you are an adult. You have more life smarts and determination to do better than any of the 'kids'. At least that's how I felt.<br /><br />Nobody in that room is smarter or more creative than you...you just each see things a little differently! That's a good thing.<br /><br />Keep your eyes and heart on your goals. You can do it!!<br /><br />I hope you don't stop blogging but to be honest with you...I probably will have to when I start back to work in the fall. There are only so many hours in a day. Maybe we should just stick with blogging whenever time allows. It is part of the creative process, right?<br /><br />I'm pulling for ya!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.com
