Starting School in October

Hi Everyone,

There's been a slight change in plans for when I will be starting back to school. Some of you may already know my mom is currently enrolled in a program at Everest College for a Medical Coding and Insurance Billing. The program is 8 months in length and the courses are condensed into 4 weeks. The course she is in right now is quite intense and she is learning the ropes of going to college for the first time. So, I decided it will be best for me to start back to school on October 31st, which is the mid-term semester start date. By this time, my mom will be halfway through her 3rd class and she should feel more comfortable with school and what she needs to do to be successful. So, I'll be starting school on Halloween -- definitely a start date I will not forget!

Have a great week!
Jackie

Inspirational Quote - July 2011

Here is another inspirational quote I thought would be nice to share. This is one of my favorite quotes. I love how it talks about paving your own path and not following the crowd, just because something is popular.

Enjoy and keep following your dreams!

New Blog Design!

Hi Everyone,

After getting bored of the design selections within blogger, I decided to give my blog site a fresh new look. I happened to stumble across this site called "Deluxe Templates," which has tons of unique templates you can use for your blog. The author's name is Klodian and it sounds like he loves creating blog themes for Blogger and Wordpress.

Here is the link if you want to check out the themes: Deluxe Templates

Word of Caution: This site has tons of themes you can browse through, so don't be surprised if you are scrolling through for a while. I was on page 60 before I decided to stick with this design. You can also do a search for a specific type of theme too, such as "artwork" and see what comes back. :-)

Have fun and hope you find a cool design!

Great news!

Hi Everyone!

Great news to share that I have yet to post on my school blog. I am now working as an instructional designer! I have been in my position for 5 months now. I really love how different and exciting it is each day! Being an instructional designer suits me so well and allows me to be creative.

Since I did take on this new position, I have taken a break from school so I could focus on learning all I can about my position and role in the company. Plus, my new job has kept me quite busy, so it would be tough to go to school right now. Things should be settling down a bit soon, so I am planning to head back to school in September to finish my program.

Thank you to everyone for your continued love and support!
Jackie
