February, 2006 A very belated Happy New Year!
New academic matters are occurring in the Connors' household! Katie is now officially a freshman again, with a new major in Interior Design. Coming to terms with a injury that refuses to heal, Katie decided to abandon dance as a career. After much soul-searching, she decided to pursue art again. Kerri also has decided to pursue a different major, although hers isn't such a drastic switch. Instead of majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in Computer Science, she is now majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Criminal Justice. Of course, either one will get her to a graduate program in Computer Forensics.
Katie has begun her new college life at Endicott. She is living in Rogers dorm, a co-ed "residence hall" (as we're supposed to refer to them) that is more like a huge house than an apartment building. Katie is busy honing up her artistic skills, building a portfolio, and bankrupting her mother with art supply purchases.
Kerri had an Excellent Adventure interning with the Gloucester Police in January. She went out on police calls, listened in on 911 calls, and even fixed several computers while she was there! Her high points were helping capture a bad guy, sitting in on a confession, photographing a cadaver on Washington Street, and roaring down Rogers Street 50 miles an hour with the sirens on.
Both girls are participating in a production The Apple with North Shore Players this month. Katie is the narrator and a mime, and Kerri is the janitor (guess you need to know the story).
Vin is extremely busy these days, fixing up the house, painting, and keeping up with his homework. That hasn't changed much from last semester!
Jenny has taken up music lessons again, and enjoying every minute of it! She now studies with Pete Cokkinias, of the Berklee School of Music. In addition to lessons, Jenny plays her new bass clarinet in the Gordon College Symphonic Band, and tenor saxophone in the Endicott College Jazz Ensemble.
