So as I type im in school right now. Have a short break in class. So for all those who care im in a program called Graphic Communications Tech. Basically it was a program designed by the printing idustry in Vancouver to develop skilled workers for the printing industry in the future. It is the 3rd bigest industry in teh world (says my text) and growing.

So basically I train in computer graphics aswell as hands on methods such as binding and press operation. By the end of these 2 years i will have a goat load of skills to put into practice. We get to trian with brand new Macs and PCs and a bunch of software. Right now im in an image manipulation class, learning about colors ( sooooooooooooooooooo complicated.)

Here are the gripes. Since its industry based a lot of the instructors are strait form the industry. thats not bad but they are only available at nights. So Mon, Tues, and Thurs im here till 8:30 or 9:30 pm. I have 8 courses in this term and a workload to match. I have (probably) more than a dozen text books to get and read through. Since our building has to house printing presses we are located about 10 minutes (up hill) form the main BCIT campus (BCIT is regarded as the "premeire polytechnic institute in Canada".)

Well class is about to start again so woooooopeee!!

Feel free to share about or comment or ask questions.
