I've been a professional educator for over a decade now officially. It's really weird looking back at it and now I'm sidelined from my classroom because I have an ear infection that has been plaguing me for 3 weeks now. I thought it was a change in my regular day to day meds causing vertigo but it turns out, it was confirmed yesterday, that I had a nasty ear infection. Normally a round of antibiotics of around 7 days will knock it out by day 5. This one is being stubborn and physically talking hurts a ton which I found out tonight when I was having a conversation with my kiddo (surprise I have a 10 year old now!). I've been focusing on my art while I'm sidelined and uploading some here as well as on my instagram. (check it out! I'm @thatkatiejones on there!)

You're going to ABC?!
GASP
And you're an MCA graduate?! Whattttttttt!
I'm also finishing my Masters of Art in Teaching there as well. Also, if you didn't know, Jessi, an MCA Gead is also the Director of Programming for all of my ABC.
Wow. Though I don't know anything about Jessi. Come to think of it I don't know about anyone who's graduated before I started at MCA.
It is pretty neat to know that those who have gone through MCA are active in such events.
Well most of the people who started the con, with the exception of George, were active together in another group together and that's how we all became friends. (Except Jessi and I knew each other from taking Surface Design together and talking in the sleaze a few times). Well considering they got rid of Meredith Root you're not going to know many more good digital people and a lot of other people are jumping ship too since everyone seems to not like Ron.
