On-line Class

It is official.  I am once again a student - only slightly so, however.  I am enrolled in an on-line graphic imaging class to learn about using Photoshop.  I am actually quite excited.  I am also a bit anxious, as I have never taken an on-line class before.  I anticipate that it will be quite strange to never "see" my instructor.  However, I have already had several e-mail conversations with her and she sounds like a really neat person.  She has already been to Alaska so we have a topic of interest to share.  She (and Pam) has assured me that I will not have difficulty with this course.  I hope they are correct - exams are next week and grades, etc.
One other interesting note...
While chatting with the gal that was registering me, I enquired about the possibility of teaching at the Hillsdale Center for JCC.  I was encouraged to apply for a position even if there was no position, because within the next 5 years there is going to be a 30% staff retirement at JCC!  I am very happy to hear that news!  I just may need a change from middle school by that time!  (or before if our schools don't figure something out soon...)
That was a good ending to a long, snowy day for me.  Let the 8-10 inches of snow continue.  I feel like sleeping in tomorrow anyway!  And now I have registering for classes out of the way...all I have to do now is wait to see if I need the newer version of Photoshop!  It's okay if I do, I'm a student now.  I get 85% off!!!
