Answering E-mails....

Sorry about taking so much time away from posting. We've been overwhelmed with homework (Jenn's Medical Terminology class takes up most of her time) and daily obligations (getting drunk takes up the rest). Please know that we appreciate the words of support and encouragement from our readers.

We've received many e-mails on various topics, and we plan to answer as many as possible over the next several days. The most popular questions pertain to what classes we are taking and how we organize our schedules to balance work and play.

Dennis, who initially attempted college over 100 years ago, already had 27 credits and was in the enviable position of only having to take a few general classes -- such as Biology and English 132 -- before focusing on courses directly related to his major (Telecommunications). Currently, he has Media Performance, Media Writing, Film History & Criticism, and Intro to Telecommunications. Piece of cake, right?

Dennis has Media Performance this afternoon, and his assignment was to create an animated character, not human, and to use the voice for a 30-second spot that he got to write. Really fun. We may try to upload the spot to be heard on this blog...though we may need another computer class first to figure out how this is, in fact, accomplished. Ha.

On the other hand, Jenn was starting from scratch so, in addition to the previously mentioned Medical Terminology [yawn], she is stuck with Psychology, Software Applications, and English 131. Jenn won't actually be in the Nursing Program for quite some time.

As to how we balance our daily schedules...right now we really don't, so we'll think about that one for a bit and get back to you.
