The Kind of Class I Like to Take...

I remember feeling the greatest sense of relief as I finished my last exam at the University of Virginia back in May of 2002 (almost 10 years ago...yikes!).  I thought to myself, "If I never have to take another exam for the rest of my life, I would be absolutely, positively fine with that."  I figured that this perspective could change as the memories of the pain from those classes/exams faded over time, but I really have had no desire to go back to school in any form or fashion.  I finally bit the bullet and recently signed up for a class. 

Ok...let me be completely honest, this Basic Camera Skills class that I recently enrolled in doesn't really count as a bona fide "class", but it still was a big step for me nonetheless.

So...I started this week at a local arts center that offers adult art classes.  I am super excited to finally learn (I hope!) some of the basic functions of my camera.  With all the photos I have been taking recently, I have been growing increasingly frustrated with my lack of knowledge of all that my camera can do. 

I left the first class feeling good about the instructor and the 7 other students with whom I will be spending the next 6 weeks.  Our argentinian instructor was already making fun of me by the end of the night because of the number of photos I take so I think it will be an entertaining experience. :)
