[More super in the weeds. If you wanna skip forward, you can go here (to the conclusion post). (Yes, there is no link there yet. I need to link it, once I write it haha)]
Picking up from yesterday –
So, that’s basically the place from which we started. A Degree Completion student (in music business). OR if I really want to do either of my other majors having to start fresh with a new catalogue year.
And I was like, “no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I paid for a class once every 4 years. That’s supposed to undo that rule!”
And they’re like, “Well, you’re in tech-heavy majors that are ever-changing. You can’t be away for so long and expect to be able to come back.”
Then I was finally told if I got permission from the chairs, I could come back in those majors – with my catalogue year. So, off to the chairs I went.
The first was the MP&E (Music Production & Engineering) chair, whom I already kinda knew from my time there. I did have *one* class left that was only ever offered in person, because it was a very hands on studio class about all the different mics and setups. Basically, you had to be running around physically plugging things in.
BUT they were starting this new thing of having potential different ‘tracks’ for MP&E. (I forget the actual names, but it was basically post-production, traditional/general, hip-hop/pop.)
I wanted hip-hop/pop more than anything else, anyway. And my one of my very favorite professors (Prince Charles) was in charge of that track. And that’s the one that can most be done “in-the-box” anyway, as opposed to in a normal studio.
So… we were able to work it out! And set up a progression that made it so that I would indeed be able to make a plan to graduate without ever going back on campus.
And this is where I’ll pick up tomorrow!
