It’s weird. I’m 26 and once again I’m back in school after taking a break during the Summer and Fall of 2007 to begin production on the ./shutdown web series. Now, I am enrolled in yet another mass media class (my 3rd now) at Penn State and I will be taking my third (and final!) Spanish class at a local community college. Just got confirmation from Penn that it will transfer. w00t!
It’ll be another couple of years before I graduate, I think. I am only taking two classes per semester, but I am really worried about whether I will be able to pull it off. Right now with just one online class at Penn and a full time job I’m only having to stay up about an hour later. However, starting next week I will be going to my Spanish class two evenings a week. In February, David and I will start writing season 2 of the show and then in March we’ll be starting production again.
I am dreading March and April the most. I honestly don’t know if I will be able to handle two full time jobs plus school part-time. I consider the show a full time job since production time means editing every night and shooting almost every weekend. Yet, at the same time I am very frustrated that I can’t handle school full time anymore. I am really in a rush now that I have decided I want to go to graduate school.
Ah well. Take it one day at a time, as they say.
