Hi, I'm kinda interested in doing these sessions! Hope I can keep up ;)

P.S. I was hit in the head with a desktop PC once... so now I'm a notebook user. At least until I've overcome my fear of desktops :D

Ouch, that doesn't sound fun. I had one fall on my foot once. That wasn't fun either. <<

And that would make 2 of you. I figure group sessions on the days both of you are available would be fine with me. As for the start time, both of you just feel free to let me know when you'd like to start and we can work from there.

A ten-o-clock start on the days mentioned would work best for me. But that's only half of things. ACGalaga, what's best for you?


God bless,

How does 9 PM EST sound as a start time? And would both of you still like to begin today or begin another day?

I haven't had any time to plan anything, so it would all be pretty on the fly this time. But I figure I can gather some things up between now and tomorrow.

Either way is fine with me, of course. I'm just trying to help! And I'd like to find a time that fits everyone who has expressed interest best so we can do this in a group session since I think that will be more informative.

So, feel free to tell me what y'all think.

9:00 is ok for me, I may be late/absent at times but we can see how it goes. Tonight is good for me, again, 9:00 is a we'll see kind of thing. I have a regular appointment on Fridays that goes until anywhere between 8 and 9, and if it finishes at 9 I will likely be doing a bit of running around for some quick refreshment. The same goes for Thursdays. Tuesdays should usually be ok.

God bless,
Adam

If we meet... Where do we meet?

I have a better idea. Since you both are available at somewhat different times, I'll make myself available on KGS from 8PM EST to 11PM EST. This way it gives both of you plenty of time, I think. If you'd like to go past 11PM, that is fine, too. I've got nothing else going on right now, so doing such a thing would be a problem.

As for where at on KGS, I suppose we could just do it in the L19 room.

But how does my idea sound?

If that is what you want to do, by all means. I can try 9:00, it's just that, as I said, it can be an iffy proposition at times. We could at least try it out for a week and if I never show up adjust it from there :D I appreciate what you're doing a lot and hate to have you on call for such a chunk of the evening. I'd hate to have a good thing become tedious/discouraging to you.

We can start from 9(ish). That's totally fine with me. It will give me some time to work on some stuff before we meet. Maybe we can go for 1~2 hours? I'll see you around then.

It's no problem, really. This is just very new for me lol. I'd just like to make it easier for everyone. So here, because we're on such short notice, why don't we begin another night? Perhaps you and ACGalaga can get together and discuss a start date and time. And in the meantime, I'll gather ideas and things that would be useful for teaching.

Either way, I think this will be a very fun experience so I doubt this will be tedious or anything.

Alright. We just need to figure out a good night and time for everyone. That's my goal here.

Galaga,

If you don't mind let us know what your preferences are time/day wise and we can start from there. Look forward to learning along side you.

Have a good one and God bless,
Adam

Well, let's aim for another time inorder to let hailthorn prepare. This is usually a good time for me, since I don't have work on the weekends (for the most part).

Another good time might be Saturday night your time (although tomorrow I'll be busy making 1000 pieces of sushi till 9pm EST).

Thank you very much Dr. Burns and I also look forward to learning with you (I do hope I can keep up!)
