I started my traditional education in spring of 2002with two semesters off.

So altogether the process has taken me a little more than four years. I am relieved to have this phase behind me. Now I can spend my time doing art instead of studying.

I had Lyme disease in 1999, but it took me years to get my health back. Even while I was attended school at first I would have really bad days. I keep plodding along, part-time, taking my art courses. Those I wouldn't have been able to take non-traditionally, so I feel that they were well worth my energy.
