I went through college the first time around getting my Associates from HVCC, did a semester stint away at SUNY Cortland, and classes along the way at the College of Saint Rose and at RPI. What I came to find out was, what I had originally wanted to do in my 20's was only a small part of what I really loved. I became very lucky ~ I have the chance to do this a second time around. I'm not sure if it's my maturity (okay, my age) or my feeling of being settled in life - but I found I am appreciating the experience and getting more out of my education so much more this time around. (another sidebar, just the academic/educational standpoint ... nothing like being in your teens and early 20's and the social aspect of college life, which was absolutely wonderful in my day!)
Anyhow, this semester has been butt kicking, but my favorite as well. I'm taking Italian - finally!; Photography ... and how much do I love photography?!!; Community and Social Informatics - which in addition to understand Informatics, I get to work on a Community Service project; and finally, Graphic Design Studio, which in part, is visually designing a message. That said, here's a sample of my latest. It's a project called Mise en scene, I decided to create the character Belle of the Ball.
The new belle of the ball is an offspring of Title IX women. She can have the capability of being the debutant, as well as the aggressive athlete. Maybe not everything is in a perfect place, neat and orderly, but she knows where to find everything. She is confident on the field and off the field. She has become a master in balance, working through a rigorous academic schedule, athletic schedule and somehow in between finding some down time. Though this Belle is represented as a soccer player, she can easily be transformed into any other sport. Her motto is, “Remember when playing like a girl used to be an insult.”
