When I was in university, I was very impressed with the number of students from Turkey in different programs in the School of the Art Institue of Chicago and often wondered exactly why there were so many..(in different diciplines but still to have 4 students from the same country in another country always seemed a sign something was going on there!) As life's path has made me more "humbled" in this learning, I now have to relearn my ablity to be "bold".. and perhaps challange myself a little more design wise considering I am no longer in a class room, and I no longer have "assignments" but I tend to wish to have a give and take about critique and idea in a world where we seem to be strickly in awe about the interesting work everyone does.. (and in awe how some people can be so bold to sell crap for so much and people actually buy it!!) Does your course cost much?

I don't always understand what you're referring to, but I do always enjoy your words. kisses from SoCal Sweetheart
