School...and all that Jazz




Well surprises of all surprises--guess who changed her major again!!?!? =) I actually met this lady who was the Chair of the Art Dept and she said she never got her BA. She went to, and I may have this backwards, it was either 9 schools for 11 years or 11 schools for 9 years but she went straight to an MFA. And she said one thing you don't hear a lot of professors and especially Chairs say--that completing school if you have a career or if business is taking off for you may not be what fits in your lifestyle at that time. And it was all about the life style. She didn't say to never finish!!--but if my photography took off then just finish school at my pace. I know I've definitely not been the cookie cutter four year student. You know on the myspace page where it asks you about me?? I know it may sound a little stupid but it took me a long time to finally come up with that section. I won't say everything was time wasted, there are times that I would do if different but now I finally get to do something that I truly love. And I'm not too shabby at. Still have a lot to learn but that'll come with time...and lenses. BTW--my birthday is in two weeks...
