First Week

Hello Everyone!

I am excited about our first week of class! I hope that we learn and grow together, not just as classmates but as life long friends and companions. I don't know the specific reasons why each of you has chosen to continue your education, but I know that in the hearts of each one of you, something inside you challenged you and tempted your desire to move forward. I think that deserves an applause and I think we all should be proud of one another for making that choice.
In case your wondering...here is MY story:
I am a "free-lance" graphic designer. (kinda-sorta) I have always been artistic and I have won numerous art awards and briefly attended CCAD (non-collegiate level). You could say my passion is creative design. I love drawing, I love communicating ideas through various artistic mediums/expressions. I am not the best, but I do put my heart into it. Starting my own free lance design company has been harder than I thought, and quiet frankly, the economy has made it nearly impossible for me to solicit or sell my services. I am struggling and hoping one day someone notices my talent and yanks me into an exciting career. Until than, I design for fun and I have had the pivilidge of working for a few local clients.
I am a mother of three girls. (a minature, a pint-size and a half size) Yes they are all girls, so you can imagine the drama that comes with my life! I have a wonderful husband who is supportive of all my crazy and spontaneous ideas.
Recreational wise...I like to bike ride (the kind you actually pedal with). In the summer I will travel to the applacian mountains and go on 30 mile bike trips. I like working out and staying physically fit. I love being outdoors. I am a wine and eclectic food finatic! I love snow boarding (and drinking at the lodge afterwards). I like reading (fiction and non-fiction) I like writing poetry, short stories and of course...I like drawing and painting.
I wish each of you the best success!
I

  1. Hi Suzanne,

    Guess where I am hiking this year??? King's Peak, the highest elevation in Utah at 16,000 ft. It takes approximately three days to tackle this adventure!! I am stoked and counting down the days! Also counting down the days when I move to Salt Lake City, Utah next year!!!!!

  2. That is soooo awesome! I have never heard of Kings Peak...that elevation is phenomenal! I would love to spend a week of hiking and camping. It is so invigorating and exhausting at the same time. My biggest problem when I go hiking at high elevations is the lack of oxygen. It takes a while to regulate your breathing to compensate for the thin air. I bet Sale Lake City is fantastic. I hope one day, when my family has grown, that I will be able to move back to the mountains. My husbands family lives in Colorado and last year we went to Keystone and hiked..it was so beautiful
