okay, not really.
i knew i had finished the work they wanted me to do, and was frankly wondering what i was going to do from now on.
but, it's still weird to get a call saying 'we don't need you anymore'.
somehow, it made me feel rejected.
i'm on it though--i made plans, both musically and athletically. i'm going to get some more students. next on my to-do list is to make a flyer and bring it to schools. i want to volunteer at the cleveland school of the arts, if they'll have me.
this is all probably a good thing. i have my day back; it's what i've been wanting. and, it'll give me time to have to think about what i'm doing. i can't just float along, saying/thinking 'i don't have time to do anything else'. i now have to plan my day, get things done. i have to think about why i'm doing what i'm doing.
i'm excited.
here is another idea. i want to find some kind of class on website design and learn all about doing that. i love computers, always have. i think i would be really great at designing websites, and i venture to say that i would even enjoy it. it would be a great 'part time job' that would be on my terms...in my time, at home, etc. i'm excited about this prospect. any advice about how to achieve and conquer this one?
also on the positive list is that i'm going to be saving SO much in gas, not to mention saving my car mile-wise.
this really is good, and i don't think i'm just convincing myself of that. it's a life-style change, for sure...but i'm ready.

If you take some classes in web design I want you to pass your knowledge along to me!
While you are at it can you takes some classes in Visual Basic and basic computer programming for me and teach me that? ;)
I wish I had time for classes in things I would actually want to learn and could use daily in my home and work life.
Take advantage of your free time!
I recommend you to attend a course about something you would love to learn. I do it, and it rewards me a lot.
A tip: go with the content ready for the first website you will design in class with the teacher. It will help you to visualise it better and will give you the idea that you made something concrete at the end of the course.
All the Best X
P.S. You basically use your two other blogs about music and training as a discpline reminder. I wish I was so constant and self-disciplined, mentally and phisically, as you are! :o )
See, this is what you were waiting for!
hey did you do something special to get RBF to show when you have updated?
liz---what/??? i haven't done anything i know of...
hmm, guess mine just is not working right.
RBF updates with a list of all updated blogs on their list.
so everytime you post it puts you on the list

but my updates don't end up there...
There are a lot of really good manuals out there on web design. You might want to just pick up one of those for starters. Or try an online tutorial. That's how I learned to code html when I first entered college and now (having long since graduated) I've abandoned my major completely and am a "webmaster". I prefer webmistriss, but whatever. Community college courses are generally pretty good for this kind of stuff too.
Good luck, and hope you enjoy your free time!
when you're ready to make websites, i'll hire you. i made one recently for my day job, looks like words on a sheet of paper. EEK!
rhien--i'd be glad to help with your website...although right now i think i wouldn't do much good. i'll keep you updated. :)
mouse--yeah, i know. why is it hard to even do the things you know are good for you and that you actually enjoy? silly.
cool.
