Here I am back once again here to talk a bit about my Adobe Illustrator journey which is just about to end since I have tonight’s class and two more classes next week in which I will begin my final project before it ends.Now I haven’t really had much time to practice that pen command due to the time spent on my other assignment which deals with texting and lettering.I am surprised that the course is just about over and I will not be going to school for the next few days until I find out what my next course is going to be.I will check the SAIT catalog and find out what it is and when it’s going to be. 

I don’t know why this is but I am just feeling a bit uneasy about my class tonight because what if my photo assignment has disappeared when I get there? Why I would have to redo everything again and that wouldn’t be good because there is this other assignment that I am doing tonight which I haven’t even started even though it’s going to be done in class.I am just a bit anxious right now as to what happened with that picture.I will eventually find it and hopefully it is there.Although I might have missed something on there but I have a sense that it’s a little too late for that now. 

But I must say that the pace of the class is a little too fast for me because I like to take my time when I am doing certain things and the time of the class and so many feature on Photoshop I am just not able to keep up for a long period of time.Of course it doesn’t help with the distractions I keep facing myself with a lot of stuff on my mind which only makes things worse while trying to follow her.But all I can do really is to just do my best but the way the pace of the class is going I am not finding it easy.Especially when I am stuck with no new program at my house to do my assignments.

Well, here I am once again with not very much to do but to wait for the time I head off to work again tomorrow. Maybe I should have gone back to school just so I can kill time even though I am writing this and just thinking about the course at the same time.Now even though I managed to finish the assignment and get caught up to my instructor when I did it Monday night, I had a hell of a time catching up to her and just trying to do the assignment while she was teaching it.I keep thinking that maybe it was a bad idea for me to even register for the course since there were other things I could have done with myself instead of just pursuing this graphic design certificate because I am always asking what are the odds of me being able to find a job if I don’t really have many connections. Plus with the problems my family member is having with her boyfriend who knows a friend who can get me a job, what are my chances of me getting a job if the boyfriend decides to break up with my sister. I would say that my chances are slim.

So it seems to me that I may just have to forget about this designing business and just do something concrete like business and economics but again,it comes down to connections and knowing people I guess. Finding a job in itself is hard work and work because even though you aren’t making money while searching for a job it still qualifies as work even though no money is coming into your household.So getting a graphic design job is probably a bad idea since I have the sense that I am not going to be getting much help with regards to finding a graphic design job since besides my sister’s boyfriends friend, there aren’t any other connections that I can rely upon. 

I have to give a shout out to all the Adobe Photo shoppers out there who managed to use the Photoshop CC despite the time limit one has regarding the time given for the trial version. There isn’t a lot of time left on my trial version but I am managing to get some practice on it.My main concern will be that I will not be able to install it again on this system and that is going to be detrimental to my course because I have an upcoming assignment and I am going to have to complete by next week.It seems that I may have to purchase on a monthly basis.Like it’s kind of a ripoff that Adobe would allow a free trial for only 7 days and not 30 days in which new users can get practice on how to use the new version of Photoshop. 

Like for any free trial of a program I think that 30 days should be valid for all new programs because 7 days to me is just a rip off.I think that Adobe is just wanting to make money off people but hey I can understand why because people tend to hack the programs and get them for free while causing the company to lose money in the process due to the hackers getting the programs and selling them on the streets or people with no money and making a profit for themselves.I think that Adobe has spend a lot of money developing and making upgrades to the new versions of Photoshop and that takes a lot of time to do that. Just as Auto desk does for Auto CAD and other designing programs.So it only makes sense for them to give trial versions because they have to make a profit on the new versions of Photoshop and Illustrator. Like everything company in business, they have to make money due to the time the put into development.
