#1

  

         My first impression of the class was that it would require a lot of focus. I can tell I will be spending a lot of time practicing skills I learned in class on my own time. Although I am expecting myself to get frustrated at times, as I often do when using computers, I hope this class will teach me patience. I hope at the end of this semester I will have projects that reflect who I am and are done to the best of ability. I will also expect to be fairly familiar with programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator CS6.

         I have learned a lot about who I am through expressing my feelings through various outlets. I write poetry, play guitar, and like to paint. I also express myself through the clothes I wear. I am the kind of person who needs to constantly liberate my feelings or I will go insane. That is one reason why I am taking this class. This class will teach me skills that will eventually make up another useful outlet for me. On top of that, it will also provide me with skills I need to succeed in my major.
