It's Official! I'm Going Back To School!

This is all William Johnson's fault. Day after day -- week after week -- month after month -- he consistently posts some of the most beautiful and stunning photos that I've ever seen online. (Be sure to click on the link provided to enjoy his post today!)

When I had the chance to sit in on a photography class at our state's Real Estate convention, I jumped right in. It only made me want more! I had visions of William's photos dancing in my head.

For that reason, I've decided to take a photography class at Salem Community College. The problem is that the college requires an English prerequisite. So....now I have to take a placement test next Weds. to see which English class I will need to take.

(Shheeesh! I really just wanted to take the photography class and that's it.)

Well, they say things happen for a reason......and I've always said that I wanted to finish my degree. It looks like now is the perfect time.

After I complete the placement test, I can officially register for classes.

(I wonder what I should wear on my first day of school?)

I liked this! Good luck and good for you! I'm so busy trying to get my CRS that this will be for next year, but you'll be great. Best wishes for a good weekend.

Thanks, MaryKay! I am really, really excited! Hopefully, I'll remember some of what I learned in high school and college from years ago.

Chris: A prerequisite for a photography class?? And it had to be English? Why not one of the other languages that we find the instructions to our cameras written in? I applaud you for taking this step even when all you wanted was to make 'PRETTY PICTURES".

Hey Chris - maybe you'll be able to test out of taking the English class. I'm sure you've got that down pat! Ask about it. I tested out of a bunch of classes a long time ago - they were so lame and made for 18 year olds!

Look forward to seeing your new photograph skills!

Gwynn...I thought the same thing!

Hi, Anna! How are you tonight? I am hoping to test out of the english so I can focus on the photography. I hope I learn ALOT!

Chris,

Congrats on going back to school! I love learning and hope to return also sometime. Enjoy the photography class (hope you can skip the English)!

Thanks so much, Donna! (although brushing on up my english skills might help me with my blogging skills, huh?)

Seems strange to have prereq for a photography class but good for you for going back to school. Good luck.
