So Much To Learn

So today was my first day of class.  My Adobe Photoshop class started at 8am.  I was on the waiting list and wanted to get there early so I could secure a space.  The good news...I made it in the class.  The bad news....There are only 18 students in the class and there needs to be 20.  I'm hoping the 18 is close enough that they won't cancel but with budget cuts who knows.  Class size is good and I was able to keep up pretty much.  I've taken this class before and was pretty lost since I didn't have the program at home to practice on.  This time around, I have a program that hopefully I can practice on and grasp the technique.  I really have a problem understanding layers.

My second class was at 1pm and it's Digital Scrapbooking.  I was also on the waiting list for this.  I again arrived early to secure my spot.  Wow!  So many people and men as well as women.  The class was full but luckily I was able to grab a seat and a computer.  One poor guy had to sit and watch.  This class is so full of information but the good thing is that they work with Adobe Photoshop so I'll not only learn in my first class but the second as well.  Double learning. 

Tomorrow I am both excited and scared.  I have an Excel class that is long overdue.  As I said in my last post, when I left the work force, we were using Plan Perfect and the formulas were all in place.  All I had to do was input numbers and balance the books.  Now everything is Excel and I don't know squat about formulas nor do they really interest me.  I'm not so much about creating formulas as I am about data entry.

By the time I left there today, my little brain hurt.  Tomorrow I know I'm gonna be just as worn out since I'll be in class most of the day.  Today I had a 2-hour class then a 2-hour break and another 3-hour class.  Tomorrow I'll be there from 9am-12 and 1pm-4pm.  Whew!  That's alot of learning for this old lady.  I hope I can keep up!!
