here i go again
By marissa | March 1, 2008
I decided something today . . .
I’m going to go back to school. I’m going to get another bachelors, but this time in Web Design. I want to combine my two loves of social studies education and technology by starting my own non-profit. I need to know how to design web materials well, not just a little bit here and a little bit there.
This is kinda scary. I don’t really want to spend even more money, but if I’m going to be in debt, I might as well be in debt for education instead of credit card debt. I figure though, I owe it to myself to find out. I need to feed my creative self. I figured this out because I have too many hobbies and interests that I cannot keep up with them! I scrapbook, knit, crochet, create cards, read, take photographs, play the French Horn and sort of design web pages. Do I have enough time to manage all of this? Nope. So I think it’s time to just do something about it.
I turn in my application on Friday.

Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known.”

what’s been going on . . .
By marissa | February 17, 2008
It’s been crazy here the past few weeks. Here are just a few things that are on my mind:
- NIU - crazy. I feel extremely sad and angry at the same time. How can people have access to guns? I don’t understand. Two of the victims (one died, one still in the hospital) are from my town. It’s too sad. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that was touched by this tragedy.
- I think I’m going to go back to school for web design or graphic design. I think sometimes my practical side doesn’t allow my creative side to shine. I am a very creative person and it is time for me to spend some time developing that. There are some certificate programs I’m looking at, but who knows maybe I’ll go back to get a second BA? Keep you posted.
- My job will be changing soon. I will be placed in a new position. It’s strange seeing that I have only been there since October, but at the same time I am excited to have some new responsibilities. It’s great too because this is a brand new position so I can work to shape it into what it needs to be mixed with what I want it to be. It should be exciting.
- It’s cold and windy/snowy.
- I am obsessed with In Treatment on HBO. I have spent my entire afternoon watching these shows on On-Demand doing laundry. It’s kinda like watching theater. Check it out.

First, let me say I am a Bears fan and will always be a Bears fan, but there is something about those Manning boys. Back to back Super Bowls for this family!
Congrats NY Giants!
