Typical welcome post

This is just your typical welcome post. This is where I introduce myself and what I'm about. A bit, anyways.

My name is Genevieve, I am 25 years old, I was born on the first day of the Virgo- Libra cusp, I am married (2 years on 2010 August 7!) & I have a very fat cat named Mouse.

Right now I am taking 3 classes at Northern Virginia Community College: Web Design I, JAVA I & Web Scripting Languages. It was my WSL professor that first suggested that I start a blog to chronicle my progress through school. I was a little hesitant at first but then thought, oh why not? I used to blog ages ago. I ran a little place called Last Stop Suburbia that became quite popular for while. After a little over a year, I moved on over to Collateral Damage. I got bored with blogging and quit about 18 months ago. Lets see if I can keep this up, huh? I don't think it will be too difficult since it doesn't follow the format of my other blogs. LSS was all about randomness but nothing too personal. CD got way more personal. This blog will just be me writing about my experiences and frustrations with school. Nothing more, nothing less.

Let's get a little background info on my situation, shall we? You might be wondering why I'm 25 and going to school for only a certificate. I've spent many a year in community college (first started in 2002 at Salt Lake Community college as a film major) without accomplishing much. I've always just kind of floated around, done whatever. Now I am married and while I don't feel any need to "settle down" I do feel a need to contribute as much as possible. My husband is currently going for a BS in Chemistry at George Mason University. He's starting his junior year and we are basically living off his GI Bill. We are living at my grandma's (horror of all horrors) and paying her $100 in rent a month. Even this is a stretch for us. I am working part time at a crappy retail job and 1 day a week for a bookkeeper for a privately- owned restaurant in McLean, Virginia.
I'd been feeling for a while like I ought to contribute more to my husband's & my income so I decided to go back to school. I decided web design because I've always enjoyed writing out code and seeing it turn into something amazing. (Right now I am using the HTML editor and FYI, all my links are always target="_blank" so no need to right- click ;) The certificate is 8 classes long. I've already tested out of the required English class so that leaves 7.
This semester I am trying to take 3 but I'm not sure that's going to last. More about that next post, though. I think this one has gone on long enough. If you've read this far, many thanks.

Until next time!
