Back to School!

Well, the first week back to school is about over. I was readmitted to the University of Central Arkansas after about 4 years away and am planning on completing my degree (BA in Graphic Design) by the Fall of 2009. This semester consists of World Literature II and Graphic Design IV. World Literature II I have put off since I began my college career in the fall of 1998. I was never a reader, and sure didn't like the interpretation of literature. However, since I left college I now have 2 children, a wife, a dog, a house, a responsibility, etc... My motivation and dedication level are far greater than that of a single 22 year old. I wrote a Haiku that the professor didn't laugh at.

"Hopes, dreams, we do yearn
Not always do they come true
Like a stone through glass."

As for Graphics IV; this is going to really challenge my creation process. I worked in the field for 4 years while at Conway Copies. The type of work created there was more along the lines of corporate/business identity, brochure/mailings, logos, etc... The instructor, Ray Ogar, uses a more artistic approach to graphic design. His process starts with thought, of course, but is much more indepth than my two previous instructors for Graphics I, II, and III. His style is also different than the others, and different than me. I'm looking forward to this new approach/style but am also nervous. I want to achieve a good grade and it's going to be difficult.
