The biggest time sink, lately, has been my classes. In the last three weeks I've written two papers (one was actually a story that clocks in at over 3000 words), and put together two rather involved (for me) PhotoShop projects. I had a lot of late nights and early mornings, but I'm happy with the results and don't regret going back to school for a moment.
You can see the first of my big PhotoShop projects to the right. I'm extremely happy with it; I put in a lot of time and effort and I really think it shows. The instructor, Mr. Bell, liked it enough that he's going to use the original PhotoShop file as an example to future classes!Something similar happened in my English II class. This paper, an analysis of Billy Collins' poem "An Introduction to Poetry" is going to be used as an example of poetry analysis for future classes. Mrs. Payton is going to edit and alter it a bit, but it'll basically be my paper showing new students how it's done. Booyah!
...that sounded kind of cocky, didn't it? Oh well, I've spent so long questioning myself and my abilities, that I think I'm entitled to a little self congratulation. It's what keeps me going.
Head on over to my other site, JClarkOnline.com, to see most of my stuff from this quarter. What's not there now will be soon. I'd appreciate any feedback you may have. In particular, I could really use some constructive criticism of this story here, which I will be revising over the Christmas break.
