Just home from painting class. This is the result after my third session with this still life set up. I have one more session next week in which to wrap up loose ends without ruining the parts I’m happy with. #oilPainting #stillLife #adultLearner #art

I had a satisfying time in my art class today. This is a photo of the still life set-up I'm working from. I wish I had taken a picture of the progress I made today. I was happy with it. #stillLife #oilPainting #adultLearner #art

"Sorry I wasn't paying attention to my virtual class today, I was trying to train my cat to sit in the hood portion of a backwards hoodie"

(And then "tooted" about it...)

This professor is my favorite - he's very engaging - and this class is definitely interesting to me, but my attention span just disappears once I get on Zoom 😬

Glad this is a snow day thing instead of an every day thing.

I flunked out of college. Twice, actually. I've carried around that shame for two decades. Having the chance to try again has been nothing short of life-changing, and the validation of being one of the folks in this article is just the icing on the cake. I feel like I'm not just getting rid of old baggage, but also setting it on fire and dancing around the blaze. #AdultLearner #CommunityCollege #PTK https://www.templejc.edu/live/news/817-temple-college-chapter-of-phi-theta-kappa-honor

I spent over 40 hours volunteering at my son's elementary school this week, on top of finals. Being too busy to think means being too busy to worry. 🙃

Still waiting for the one I was most concerned about to be graded, but I *think* I kept my goal GPA.

15 minute recorded presentation for Federal Government class due tonight and my brain just. won't. go.
Stay in school and do this when you're young enough to have energy, y'all. #AdultLearner #CommunityCollege
