How did I get here?

In 2011 I was laid off from a job I'd had for 13 years. No idea what to do next, I moved to Florida to be with my family while my parents were still young enough to be cool and have their wits about them, for the most part, and see my sister married, go to school and that's it.
So, I came down here, bought a really good used car, got an apartment, moved out of said apartment and in with my folks, to save some cash...and sanity...started school in Digital Media w/ a Graphic Design specialization and here I am.
Why Graphic Design? I want to stay in broadcasting, but I wanted to change my skill set. School is weird, but the classes are interesting.
More on everything later. I promise.
