(73,063 posts)i'm 67, and still have a part of me that wants to go back and get that sheepskin.
dropped out of the art institute when my son was born, a junior, planning to take a semester or 2. never went back.
i did get a certificate in design from their continuing studies dept about 10 years ago. that was hard enough. but an mfa now? i get the shakes thinking about it.
a place like columbia (where i should have gone in the 1st place) would probably accept me as a grad student. saic refused a bunch of credits in my aa, but columbia would have taken those and my 3 years in carpenter school.
BUT i started taking voice lessons last year. i'm not that bad in my sweet spot, but it's pretty small. working on piano, too. that's going slowly.
but it's getting there.
it's meant extra in that it's been facetime lessons w a wonderful teacher. hubs of an old, dear friend. so throughout this mess, i had a visitor weekly.
some days we talk more than we sing.
rly hoping when this mess is over to maybe get into a choir or something.
rust never sleeps. gotta keep it all lubed.
