I was browsing the Fall schedule for NHCC and none of the 4 classes I need before applying to the Graphic Design program are offered as night classes this Fall or Spring. I'm beginning to doubt that they ever will be. I think I'm going to have to look into Minneapolis Community and Technical College. I'm not sure why I didn't consider them before. They do have a Graphic Design 2 year degree. And it looks like they are much more night-class friendly. Apparently the goal is to see just how many different higher education institutions I can fit on to my transcript. This will be number four. Actually number five if you count the photo class that I took at Metro State, but that was mainly to get back in the darkroom groove cuz I have way more photo credits than any of the graphics programs require. I just feel like I really nned to keep pursuing this and not give up. Especially now that I know that I have ADD and that may have been a big factor in my dropping out of college originally. Why didn't I appreciate mom & dad paying for it when I still could??? Being a grownup sucks sometimes. I need to win the lottery!!

You'll get there :-)

Man, I hear you. Since I left high school nearly ten years ago, I have attended four colleges. Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, University of Wisconsin Stout, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, and Milwaukee Area Technical College. And starting this fall, I will add a fifth school to that list, University of Illinois Chicago.

And oh yes, I so need to win the lotto to pay for it all...

Well, you just fit in with the family! All 3 of us have dropped out of college at least once.

Let's see... I'm on my 4th school: Gustavus (dropped out), Normandale (graduated w/ 2 year degree... yay!), U of M (dropped out) and now the Gemological Institute of America (almost done... yay!) And after I get my G.G., I'm gonna take jewelry manufacturing classes at MCTC. We could end up at the same school... weird!

Of course, according to my previous pattern, I won't get a degree out of my next school, but I don't plan on it anyway.

Hey, at least you can say you're going back to finish the degree you always wanted. I get to live with the knowledge that I wasted at least 4 years, and many thousands of dollars just so I could go back for a completely different degree. :)
