   It just dawned on me that I'm going to be 'that old guy' in my class when I resume my college career next month. You know, there's always that one old guy in the class that makes everyone wonder 'what's he been doing with his life up to this point?' That's gonna be me. Meanwhile…

  March 28, 2010

  Back in January I decided my best course of action for getting a good job was to go back to school and take graphic design. I had actually worked as a graphic designer at The Hub (a newspaper in NWT) from February 08 up until last October when we decided to leave. I was working…
