We had to do a collage for my photoshop class and mine was about my alter ego (that I half made up as I went along). I put in stuff like a sniper kitty and I made the alter ego a pole dancer that performs in a hello kitty plane and loves panini. She also collects gnomes. Anyhow, a lot of people complimented me on the ideas and how I blended it together.

My teacher was so amused by it (and his sense of humor is…interesting) so that’s good. He told me I had good retention (using techniques the class haven’t learned yet but he taught them in another class I took).

In another class with the same teacher, he was really surprised when I said I’m really not a hands-on person in general (it’s true, I’m not making excuses) and I was saying that my mother is really good with her hands and being resourceful. I, however, did not attract that gene/trait. He was really surprised and said that it’s probably deep down and that I haven’t tapped it yet. He’s actually the second teacher to express surprise on that….I wonder if there’s something about me that makes it seem like I’d be good at that stuff.
