The first day of classes, this is going to be an interesting semester. I am repeating one of my previous classes to make up for a grade I deserved. It matched the effort and quality of work that I produced in that class.

Because I messed up 2 classes I was put on academic probation this semester, which almost cost me my financial aid and has taken me out of any possibility of getting scholarships in the fall (hoo ray for making bad choices...)

So this semester I am approaching school and life differently. I am listening to the wise council of my wife and academic adviser, have a schedule and get help to manage the stress, schedule everything I can, and keep doing it so I can succeed.

So I am including some of my work from the beginning of me coming back to school in 2011, until where I am now. I will be posting my pieces of work as I get them scanned and will update on Monday and Friday. With some of the pieces I put up I will show my process, and if you can provide any constructive feedback, or if you don't like what is posted, just let me know, and give specific things you would suggest.

Here is my first couple of pieces from between September 2011 - August 2012
