My journey to become a Graphic Designer just got more difficult. Right now, I am having problems enrolling. If I don't handle this right I won't get financial aid!!!! I need money!!! There is always something that has to happen. There is always something. And then I have to talk to my job to make sure that I can clear my schedule for those classes. I hope that I can get all of this done before classes start....Grrrrr it is annoying but I hope this is the right path for me.

Well the days are getting closer. Right now, I am having trouble registering and figuring out how to go to school and work. I have one of those jobs with an unpredictable schedule so it can be difficult to plan things. I also don't want to lose money because I'm chaning my schedule. I do have bills to pay!!! Ah, the life of a broke person. Isn't it glamorous. Before classes start, I had a book that I wanted to pick up for inspiration. It's called Fly in the Buttermilk: Memoirs of an African American in Advertising, Design & Design Education by Archie Boston. A very memorable name for a book. The title of the book pretty much tells you what it is going to be about. It sounds like a good read to me! http://www.amazon.com/Fly-The-Buttermilk-Advertising-Education/dp/0971205000

The date to sign up for classes for the fall is this month! I am nervous about it. I have researched and researched things about graphic design. I have noticed that it is a field that is overflowing with caucasion males. It had me worried that no one would even pay attention to me because of the way I look or what I am. I wanted to go into this field but I had no one like me to be inspired by. There are few black graphic designers that I know of and even fewer black, female graphic designers. I had no one to look up to. I found this list of successful young, black people in the DC area. #14 is my favorite.

This blog will be about the random thoughts the run through my brain. But I am going to try to document my life as a female Graphic Designer. I need to have a career doing something that I love so I thought graphic design would be a good thing for me.
