May Term
May Term has just started and its already the weekend. Today didn't feel like the end of the week already, partially because we've only had 2 full days of classes this week. I'm in a new and possibly one time class called DVD Authoring. When I tell my friends what I'm taking, they usually say something like "What is that?!"

I also had that response when I first learned about it, but after hearing from my trusty advisor and professor extrordinare that the class was all about the creation of DVD's and all the in's and out's of the process, I decided I'd enjoy taking it.

The class has been pretty interesting so far. The fun thing about may term is that everyone is only taking one class at the exact same time(s) as everyone else. Likewise, everyone is out of class at the same time for the most part. This leads to some great opportunities, like intramural volleyball, and student thrown events. Today, for example, CAC through a campus wide photo scavenger hunt. On my way across campus I saw groups running/biking all over the place in the quest for the prizes that awaited the winners.

May Term is ton's of fun, but also hard work. Because its less than a month long, everyone is in the same class about 3-4 hours a day, generally 5 days a week. This means that there is a lot of information thrown your way in a rather short amount of time which sometimes can send your brain into overload. Fortunately, the fun we have usually counterbalances that.
Well, I've got some work to get back to. Hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather!
