My Nerdy Little Secret (Shhhhh)



Journaling:
In response to Jessica Sprague’s challenge to scrapbook about a “nerdy” secret: My nerdy little secret is that I love to learn. My current obsession is learning Photoshop, for digital scrapbooking as well as photo-editing purposes. I have even delved into Camera RAW in the last week.
I keep plugging away at my Spanish too. I am fascinated by foreign languages and know well the practicality of speaking Spanish in the medical field. If I could go back in time, I would honestly want to be fluent in at least 3 languages (English, Spanish, and French or Italian).
If only there were more hours in the day. . .I have to-read lists a mile long, and in the last year, the vast majority has been non-fiction. Everything from religious discourses to health care reform to making your ideas “stick.” And don’t forget, my profession requires 100 hours of CME (continuing medical education) every 2 years. Even in childhood I remember an insatiable desire to read and learn new things. I never read the entire encyclopedia by any means, but I wasn’t beyond reading National Geographic or an old textbook for “fun.”
There’s always lots to learn and I’m like a nerdy little sponge, soaking it up and hoping it doesn’t all just drip out again!

It is amazing how much I'm learning about you simply from looking at your LOs. Keep these gems coming!

I love your LO. Aren't those tablets great. I have one and need to use it more! I've been using PS7 and am getting CS3, today actually, so can't wait to use it! I love some of the new features it has. And isn't it true-we need more hours in a day!!!
