Associates in WTF??

School

So I am a 30 year old non-traditional student here at Cape Cod Community College.
My experience thus far has been pretty good, even despite some of the ignorance and skepticism people  have of my injuries and my time in service.
I am mid-way through my current semester, where I am taking a college level Math class, Oceanography, Arthurian Legends and Web Design. (And I still have to work on some Life Drawing stuff...ugh)
Math has always been my most troubling class... I elected to start at the very bottom of the math ladder when I first started school here, and I have been slowly working my way up until I have reached my current class (which actually counts as credit.) And I am proud to say that so far I am holding a 104% average in the class. We'll see what my grade is after I figure out how I did on my test today. I know I miss at least 2 partial questions, due to just plain forgetting the name(s).  
With this semester done, I will be graduating with an associates in Fine Arts, centered around Graphic and Web Design.
I already put in my intent to graduate form.
And I have talked to some people about transferring my credits and such to Northeastern University in Boston.
Unfortunately I have to do more than just talk to people about it, and get off my ass and start the process up. The most arduous being: I need a portfolio.
My goal with Web Design was to integrate my Graphic Designing ability for a full on experience for my customers. Need a web site? Need new Graphics (stationary, cards, etc, etc)? Then look no further. Why hire two people, when you can just get me at a fair cost? (Most of my work is for free, because it's stuff I do for non-profits.)
I was hoping I could make my own website and upload all my work onto said website for an online portfolio.
I'm pretty sure I could handle that on my own at this point, but it would look pretty bleak, as far as "fancy" shit is concerned.
But yeah... if I can figure all this out, then who knows... maybe I'll be in Northeastern University soon, working on my Bachelor's in Fire Arts.
I never once thought in a million years I would have a college degree. (WTF!)
I came from a blue collar family with only a sparse few relatives having gone to college.
And here I am, in all my traumatic brain injured glory, working towards an actual 4 year degree.
Fells pretty damn good.
