<\/a>Two weeks of school have already gone by! Let me fill you guys in on how my year is looking because it\u2019s going to be much different than the previous three years.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m actually only taking two classes this semester! I know what you\u2019re thinking. Wow, someone\u2019s got the case of senioritis. Well guess what? I\u2019m only taking two classes next semester as well. But before you judge, let me explain why.<\/p>\n

One class I\u2019m taking is called Hot House Productions.\u00a0 The best way to describe the class is that it\u2019s a freelance class. We have two clients who pay our small class of eight people to make videos for them. This semester we\u2019re working with the Commonwealth Hotel and an organization called Hospitality Homes. I\u2019ve chosen to work with Hospitality Homes, a nonprofit organization that provides short-term housing and volunteer host homes for families and friends of patients receiving medical care in the Boston area. I am very excited to work as the DP for this project.<\/p>\n

My second class is a sociology class about deviance.\u00a0 This will be my third sociology class and second with Professor Yeager (who actually got his undergraduate degree in journalism!) This is an advance seminar class so there are only about twelve students total. Even cooler, we don\u2019t have any exams. In fact, the whole class, including the bi-weekly two to four page papers, all gear up to our final twenty page thesis paper.<\/p>\n

So you might be thinking, wow that doesn\u2019t sound like that much work. Why are you only taking to classes? Well\u2026<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be continuing to work at Spy Pond Productions, the documentary company where I worked over the summer, I\u2019ll have some new projects with the Skating Club of Boston (check out the video I made for them at www.thenext100years.org<\/a>), and I\u2019ll be helping out with the production of another documentary.<\/p>\n

So there, I\u2019m pretty busy!<\/p>\n

I hope you guys are enjoying your school year so far! As always, let me know if you have any questions, especially as you get closer to finishing your applications!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for this year\u2019s first episode of COMlife at the end of the month!<\/p>\n
