Remind me why I'm doing this?

Sometimes I wonder why Im persuing the jobs that I am. Im not an overly technical person, never have been yet I'm trying to be a web designer, which by its very nature is technical. Especially if you enter the more interactive websites. With help I have managed to create a calculator using Flex, which at this early stage I'm liking, and a simple form. What caused me the most trouble with this site has been the form followed by the calculator. I don't know why the form wasn't working and ended up learning about permissions of files on servers... it's a form, a simple form and it shouldn't be that difficult. Yet, somehow, I managed to make it difficult but it's working now and I have an understanding of how it's set up. I know that the next form I create will cause me just as much trouble as this one.

Out into the big, bad world

There comes a time when we all must grow up... I've finished two years of college and I dont believe I have had a more stressful time. Well maybe I should ask those I complain to, seeing as I have complained to them for two years. Im now a freelance designer, focusing on web design and Im still learning.

My first freelance job was creating some artwork for a CD for a Manchester based musician. I have a few more jobs in various states of completion. When they get uploaded I will show them.
