Starting to feel motivated instead of feeling like I am being dragged by my fingernails!

I am going to be learning more about Final Cut Pro this class (it started last night and tonight is the second night of the class). I am pretty excited about what is to come in this class seeing as this is going to be a film based class and my classmates are all pretty interesting and creative individuals. Our first homework assignment was to write a story about something so that it is described in detail... I used a story that was about myself and realized how much time I dont devote to myself and how much time I spend working solely on work and school. I am starting to feel more motivated to create things for myself and not just do them because I have to for my job or for homework. I am going to start designing anytime I can so I can have some artwork that expresses me and some things about myself... people ask me to see my work all the time and I just recently noticed that the only things I have to show them are my school work. I want to have work that I have done from the heart that I came up with the idea for.... Today is the beginning of a new me as a graphic designer. :) I am pretty excited. I am going to make my new goal to post at least one new piece a week so that I can keep an updated portfolio going at all times. I want to push myself... and I know I can do it.
