raise a glass to the future

the check was large and not money i really have right now. (mantra while starving: i'm investing in my future, ommmmmmmmmm...) the room was tiny. and very stuffy. the chairs were hard. the class an odd mix, with surprisingly few industry people. the instructor was predictably but nicely nerdy.

the initial barrage of information was daunting, but so far nothing not already in my mental file. so i'm not worried i'll run out of room for new stuff yet, lol. it was also my first *new notebook for school* in a very long time. (dangit, won't need a lunchbox though. no hellokitty thermos!)

the class is only offered once a year, in a very limited number of cities. i'm lucky to live in one which was just recently added to the roster. the super cork-dork program begins in september and i want to be ready. i simply could not, would not, postpone this another year. as someone liked to remind me, i'm not getting any younger.

might as well increase my worth while i try to convince people how invaluable i am!
