Heading Back to School

The blogging will be very light over the next 8 days because this morning I am heading back to school. I am starting an MFA program at Goddard College out of Vermont. Today begins an 8-day residency intensive in lovely Port Townsend, WA.

I am excited to be on a new learning path! I started but never finished my master's degree and this is something that has gnawed at me for over ten years. I started two programs actually, but then was moved out of the state for work. And recently, I found that I had no interest in getting a business related masters degree. Each program I looked at seemed boring and uninventive. If I am going to invest my time and money to get another degree, I want it to be something that excites me.

And I found it in the MFA program at Goddard. I is a low residency program, but there are two 8-day residencies each year for two years. I get to mold and shape my experience and work with some incredible people.

I might pop in to do a quick post here and there, but maybe not. I will have podcasts for you on Monday and Thursday.

Wish me luck!!

I stumbled across your blog while I was doing some online research. I actually just recently completed an online MFA program at National University. I wish you luck in your studies, and I hope your experience is as positive as mine was!

Thanks! Just finished day 1 and I have just two things to say: 1. Wow - I am tired. 2. Changing context is a good thing.
