		<description><![CDATA[Passing the MPR is a big deal. A wonderful aspect of the AAU system is that they admit everyone that has the basic requirements for enrollment.  Getting into other institutions requires jumping over the hurdles and the high bars that those other places put up between you and a seat in the first class.  That [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to set reachable goals and create milestones.   It is also important to practice everyday, not as if it were a regular job, but because it is a regular job.  The discipline of practice (and of perfect practice according to Tharp) is crucial to creative development and the creative process.  Working toward goals and [...]

Last night after getting in from my working [...]

I can simply cut-and-paste what the instructor has to say!  Wow.  I&#8217;m paying $2500 so I can copy the work of [...]
