It’s the end of my class and have I learned something? –> In a way, yes. I’m glad to have learned some basic techniques as to how I can navigate the tools used in Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver. Although I’m still not an expert and I haven’t really fully understood everything, I’m glad to at least have a background on the basics. I know now what the layers in Photoshop are there for.

It’s good that I was able to get this TESDA and Informatics Web Design class for about two months. To think that I never thought that I could get this short course for free; it’s even under a government scholarship! –> haha, me, under a scholarship. The world must have gone nuts.

Anyway, it’s the last day and I’m glad that this is already over as I don’t have to exert as much effort to waking up early for work so I can get out in time for school. I’ll have more time for myself and I’ll be able to focus more on the other things I wish to develop.

I’m supposed to be studying and maximizing my time while learning Flash and Photoshop but my mind just goes kaput whenever I try to. Maybe it’s because I come to school after my shift and I’m already drained and tired that any energy left is consumed by trying to stay awake.

I forget that I still have some pending blog tasks that I need to finish before it strikes 12 midnight. Darn.

Even if I’ve already let go of my other job in odesk, it seems as if I’m still a lot busy than normal.

We’re done with Photoshop and now we’re working on Dreamweaver and Flash. I have to download the software and install it in my system. I am just glad to have been given this rare chance of studying for free by the government just because I came in at the perfect time.

I’m still in the process of learning the basics but I am more confident now on what’s going to happen next. I understand that the course can’t really teach me everything since it’s all up to myself to really learn and pursue the skills accordingly.

I had a good night’s sleep. Somehow I feel good that I just want to spread the energy to others. I will be going to class later on and I know I should’ve installed Photoshop already but I still haven’t.

I need to double my efforts because even if we are being taught what to do, it’s still up to us to learn more than the basics and apply what was discussed.

Anyway, I feel good and ready for a new day. I should have more nights like these.

I’m still waiting for my classmates to finish the HTML and CSS topics of a short web design course that I took up under a government scholarship. I got exempted for the first two weeks or so since I’m already done with the topics that I mentioned and I was just there for the Photoshop and Dreamweaver.

When I called the instructor on the status, he told me I should call again next week as it’s been taking him a bit of a time to teach the basics of the course. Hopefully, I’ll be able to join this week as the time is too much already. I need to learn as much.

I got exempted! hehe.

My instructor saw that while doing some of the HTML codes he was lecturing, I was given a free pass until we will be done with HTML and CSS. At least I wouldn’t have to deal with the basic stuff though my skills in CSS aren’t that great, I know I can still tweak with the site a little more than the usual since I only have 5 websites under my belt.

I told our instructor that I came here for the Photoshop and Dreamweaver because I suck at the former and I don’t know what to do with the latter. At least this saves me time and money from going to the school and traveling. I’ve been hiring a cab every time I go to class because I’m feeling all rich and lazy, as if I don’t have bills to pay. I need to cut back on this.

Going back, I guess I’ll have more time for myself until next week.
