I think it’s going overall okay?
I’m happy to be back. Loooove taking classes with Prince Charles again. Always feel lucky when I get to be in his class!
I’m in 16 credits this semester.
[Full time is considered 12 – 16. If you take more than 16, you have to pay extra. (So, I’m not taking the true ‘max’, as you could pay to take more. But I’m taking the max for what’s included in normal tuition.)]
Every class I’m in is a 2 credit class. So, I’m in 8 classes. Of those, 4 are EPD (Electronic Production & Design) classes. And 3 are MP&E (Music Production & Engineering) classes.
(One is the final level of harmony I just never finished.)
So, it’s very full of a lot of technical stuff. Many people said it would be hard… And it is.
I have standing weekly EPD tutoring. And I go to the drop in tutorings outside of that. But I’m getting by!
I’m also getting to take a class with the INCREDIBLE Susan Rogers. I’ve been waiting forEVER to take a class with her. She was teaching MP-320 (Music Production for Records). So, I got in on it!
She’s got experience with a bunch of bands you’ve heard of (including working with PRINCE(!). She also produced and engineered on Barenaked Ladies’ “One Week.” She has a PhD. And I’ve never had a class with a woman in the department before!
I only have one final class after this semester that’s needed to graduate with MP&E – which I’ll be taking with Prince Charles. So, this was my last chance to get Susan, and I’m glad I did. [Edited to add: I heard she retired in 2022(?!) So, i really did get in under the wire.]
So yeah… chugging along!
