SIUC

I'm thinking strongly about returning to college. It's a bit of an intimidating prospect. I'm 26, quite a bit older than most college students. At the same time though, I'm not that much older than most seniors.

I'm in Carbondale now visiting the campus. I'm really impressed, except for the fact that I missed the tour of the Art and Design college.

Tuition is another thing that's a bit of a worry. One the one hand it's going to be money well spent, and I was thinking buying a car very recently that would cost about as much.

I want to become a better, more hire-able designer, and I like the outdoor activities available at this end of the state. Ultimately thought the motivation is increased earning potential.
