School
I think I may need a degree to navigate the online college classe schedule LOL! I am finding the American college system quite frustrating but have accepted that I live here and that this is just the way it is. A bachelors degree in the UK and Australia is 3 years. A double degree is 5. There's no entry level math, or english composition, etc as it is assumed you learnt all of that to college level in high school. Here, I must do it all again, and have the pleasure of paying for it (something I also did not have to do in Aus thanks to HECS) but the change is so refreshing. My brain has always been a sponge, and the memory I have been blessed with is pretty extraordinary (does that sound arrogant?), I never forget anything...anything at all, especially numbers. Marty can ask me how much a dinner cost 7 years ago in Hawaii and I can not only tell him exactly, I can tell him exactly what we ate and what each item cost. He laughs at this useless skill but I feel, with training this memory could be valuable to more than being able to recite meaningless crap from years gone by.
This year will be a year of exams for me. Now that I find very scary. From entry level exams, to the citizenship test, too maybe even the LSAT. I am hungry for knowledge. Knowledge beyond rope, and sex, and cameras, and lighting, and porno politics.
Last week, someone said to me they cannot imagine the Bondage Porn industry without me in it. Firstly, I am not going anywhere. Yes, my days in front of the camera are done, but I will still be teaching (something I have already started to schedule for 2009), I will hopefully get Volume 2 of "Bondage for Sex" out and Twisted Factory will continue to shoot with the immense help of several talented guest directors. It's called delegating and it is something I should have put my foot down about over 6 months ago. Maybe then I would have only had a mini-burn-out instead of an almost complete nervous breakdown.
Delegation+Variety+Education=Improved Quality of Life. At least that's the plan LOL. Knowing me I'll jump into something 150% and burn out all over again LOL.

I wouldn't know the first thing about the American Univerity system either, but if it is anything like mine, do you suppose there's a way to "skip" the entry level courses by presenting any certification you might have from before (e. g., any certificates or diplomas you might have from your education in Australia)?
At any rate, good luck with that. May you do better than I have.
In Australia, you immediately begin studying whatever the main suibject of your degree is, so in my case that was economics. There's no wasting 2 years on subjects you should have mastered in high school. What I can do is test out of some of these classes which is what I think I'll do for English but I should suck up doing the math...because I really cannot remember algebra at all!
Heh, seems like Algebra is the boogie man of college students as a whole around the globe. I'm glad Calculus III is behind me (it's not even on the curriculum any more, but I'm taking my sweet time).
Good luck. You might not even need it, but, just in case...
So sorry to hear about the sucky year you had. For purely selfish reasons I hope that you do manage to get Volume 2 of Bondage for Sex out in '09. Volume 1 rocked!
