Yoda Personified

Trying to find my "chi" in all of this crazy busy-ness is hard. I am coming to wonder if I will ever befriend stillness because it seems that I am constantly doing something if not multiple things. I am trying to find calmness in the storm as Yoda would. Speaking in wise backwards constructed 4 word sentences may help. At this point in my life though, things are going quite great. I'm back in school. Full time. I know!!!!! It's true...and I'm doing something that I am loving! I'm in a 2 year program for Advertising and Graphic Design at Humber and I'm probably going to go into the art directing stream. The program is craziness I tell you. I'm worked like a slave and I can't even begin to explain how far I've come as a designer in just four and a half months. And what's even crazier is that I've got 2 degrees, gone to art school and this program kicks all of their asses in terms of difficulty and workload. I don't know when college became more challenging than university but that has been my experience. But workload and stress aside, this is hands down, the BEST decision I've made in probably a long time. Of course it was a great decision to get married to my love and soul mate, but this...this is THE decision that will define me for the next chapter of my life and I am absolutely positively sure that it was the right one. I can't even express how grateful I am to everything and everyone in my life that has helped push me to make this move. I don't want to be preachy or anything, just express my gratitude and joy after years of struggling with a career switch. Just goes to show that sometimes we can stop and start over.

Unfortunate side effects though: late nights (i.e. right now), overspending on graphics magazines and the constant nagging feeling that you have something due.

But the good part? Happy Lena is.
