“Berklee Completion Student” – Part 5 (Talking To My First Major’s Department Chair Continued)

September 25, 2020

[We continue 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 –

The MOST important thing was to get MP&E on board. I can finish in 3 semesters (if I smush together 2 that would normally be separate, but they’ll allow that).

There was a chance, that when we were having this convo in the spring that things would be back to normal for fall and I might have to still not finish after all. Or go back to Berklee if I truly cared that much.

BUT they were gonna do everything they could to make it happen. And IF I could get through the fall, but we’re in person for spring, Prince Charles is willing to do independent studies over zoom for my final semester so I can actually be done – especially since the last classes are basically just ‘final deliverables’ of the major anyway, of finishing a certain number of songs.

So, as long as I could make it remote through the fall I was good.

And here we are, in the fall, me back in school.

I made sure when hoping in my heart that there would be a remote option in the fall (so I could know I would finish), that I was merely hoping for the option. For people for whom this is their lives, I was hoping they would be able to go back. I don’t wish more inconvenience on others for my benefit… But alas. Still remote in the fall.

But… Still remote in the fall! haha Yay!

The other thing about MP&E is, I did have to take one extra class to kind of catch me up on the changes over the last number of years. A sort of intermediate level (maybe hinging around beginner) class.

So, that’s what the summer would be – just catching up to 2020. Both with a catch-up class in MP&E – and I had to do something similar for EPD, but I was at the beginning of that major, so that was fine.

And we’ll get to more about EPD (Electronic Production & Design) tomorrow!

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
