This is the first year I've gone to school since 2012. (I'm not counting the time I tried to go to college before I even knew how to live on my own, that was doomed from the start). Since that first experience with college was so overwhelming, I started smaller in a sort of tech center in my area. All my classmates are in high school so it's a bit awkward, but I plan to build up to college from here and hopefully set myself up for a productive future & career. This is also the first time I've gone to school in the state of New York since fifth grade, which was back in 2005.
But, it's going decently well so far. The teachers are nice, and there are two of them because I'm taking the first "year" of the class in the morning and the second year in the afternoon (The high school students are only there for half a day). I have past experience with a good amount of the material so I'm confident I'll do well. Since I'm a special case as the only adult student in the classes, they are still figuring out whether I'll stay on this schedule or do the two classes for each semester vs. each half of the day. Anyway, the first class is starting off with Illustrator, which will be a great learning experience as I use Inkscape at home. The second will be going into video editing and animation which I'm looking forward to :D
And of course, Marioboards, MarioWiki, probably anything with the keyword "mario" in it, and anything else under "games," or even "forums" categories are blocked so that means I'm being kept on track! Something lord knows I need.
