Well, I did look into going back to art school...and the news is, I applied to the local Tafe college and within a week, got an offer and have accepted it. So, back to being a student next year! It's exciting and frightening at the same time. What will it be like being in the classroom with a whole bunch of people who are probably at least 30 years my junior? I do like being around younger people because I'm interested in how they think and how they mature into themselves. The whole purpose of going back to school is to expose myself to other experiences. I think it's essential as we age, to keep engaged in the world. As I've gotten older, I find that I've become much less tolerant of some things (Science denialists and superficial politicians), yet much more easy going about other things (failures, perfection, change). "Fear"... I'm still on the fence about that one.
