College and the Internet

Not too much of an update but I figured I’d write about my current plans for my life.

We had a United Way meeting last night at work. They’re an organization that takes donations to help fund many local and nationwide agencies that provide all sorts of human services. Not much came of this. I made my donation pledges like I make sure I do every year but the speakers weren’t from agencies I needed help from.

I had been waiting for this for a while so that I could get my hands on pamphlets with info on school funding. They gave these things out last year but I didn’t feel ready for dealing with the prospect of school fully. I could kick myself for that because the info was handed to me at work and it got lost in the house somewhere.

But the main thing is I’ve decided I need to get into school for something. I’ve thought about it a lot the past year and I think Graphic Arts is the best idea. I sure wouldn’t mind learning the latest programs and photoshops needed and I could end up applying it to web design and advertising (which actually links up with the things I always try to help Marla with here and there). And maybe as a side I could throw in Internet marketing. We’ve read tips from others online that seem to have learned a lot from the marketing courses.

Those two subjects combined could gear me up to learning to better design websites and advertise for my own business and all of Marla’s Misadventures. Now, the first step is the phone call to be connected to another agency which can inform me and make too many appointments.
