Gonna Be Busy...

So, I was holding off on writing about my class on this blog, figuring I'd tell anyone who checks out the site about the class just in time to get them to register and to drum up some students if needed.

But here's the thing...  I don't need to.

Pretty exciting.

I'm teaching an intro class at UCLA Extension this Spring, from April 7th-June 9th.  The class has a max enrollment of 20, and already has 16 students registered.

Even more exciting, only 1 of those students is a repeat student.  Over the course of the last few years, I've taught this class a few times, and I get a lot of the same faces.  Which is great as I get to stick with these students, help them grow.  But it doesn't speak to a broader appeal for the class or for the craft of writing comics.

This is exciting.

I'm also teaching an online class at the same time.  It starts on the 8th of April, and runs pretty much through the same weeks.

That has a max enrollment of 15, and has 12 students registered already.

Damn... I'm gonna be busy.

Anyway, I was gonna drum up the interest here, and I still feel like there are a couple of people who've expressed interest in the past that I want to get this information to.  But if this drums up too much support, I'm gonna be pretty crazed.

The link for the online class is here.

And the link for the class at UCLA is here.

And I'll be teaching the intro class again this summer, hopefully setting up a fall intermediate class where I can work only with students who have taken my intro class, and take their projects to the next level.

Check it out if you can, and look for the summer class soon if you're in Los Angeles.

That's awesome! Congrats!
 
There's room for one more in the online class if you're interested, Suzene...
 
I just checked out the online class, but as much as I'd love to do it, I can't afford it right now. Ah, well! Perhaps another time.
 
I am interested (read as: pounced on the link like a hungry puma as soon as it scrolled up ;) ). Unfortunately, I'm not in as good a financial spot as I was last year and about to shell out a good chunk more in wedding prep (yay!) and vet bills (boo!) on top of that. I'm asking my family if they want to go halves in it as my birthday gift this year, but not holding out a lot of hope that I can get that arranged before the deadline or someone else snags the spot.
 
actually, there's room for 3 more - I said 1 because you had expressed interest in the past.

If you can, great. If not, not to worry. As I said, it's pretty full.

Shane (is that your name?) - same goes for you. No worries, I've got a nice full class. I promise to do it again barring a disastrous class this spring, so there will be other opportunities.
 
Fingers crossed. Either way, it's still awesome that you're getting to do the class again.
 
Yeah, my name's Shane. I'm definitely interested for a future class, though, so I'll be sure to check back!
 
Yeah, no class for me this term. Phooey. But at least I can save up for the next time around.
 
Hello me and my boyfriend are interested in taking your class...do you know when you'll be teaching during the Summer? I'm super ciked, we love reading comics. Also do you know if there is any sort of financial aid available? Thanks!
 
There's no financial aid, as far as I'm aware of.

If you're looking into the online class, I'm not teaching it in the summer, but will be teaching it again in the fall.

If you're looking into the class that meets at the UCLA campus, I will be teaching that again in the summer.

The registration for that class is already up on the UCLA site.

Let me know if you have difficulty finding it or registering.
