What kind of animation or modeling are you planning to do again? ..Games, Motion Picture (like creatures in Harry Potter), or Feature Animation (Pixar)?
-Gaming has more limited modeling and animation like low poly characters and limited cycled animation (Though technology in games is getting better, action in games is looking less limited.)
-Motion Picture Animation strives on realism. Capturing all the little nuances that go on with your body. I had an instructor, Linda Bell, that worked on Yoda for Episode 1. And little details like slight jiggling in the ears makes a big difference on screen.
-Feature Animation is more simplified with movements and exaggerated. Acting is one of the most important parts of it too.
If you're going for 3d feature animation, I'd suggest Animation Mentor for your online classes. Everyone there is very talented, which makes it quite overwhelming and stressful sometimes if you're planning to find an animation job.
Just note that the animation/games industy is getting flooded with lots of competition, mainly from overseas like.... Korea..

I had a feeling you went to AAU from reading your long post.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
