I can't believe the first year of college has already gone by so fast!
The last couple weeks seemed to rush by in a blur. There was Springfest, with the Reliant K concert and the carnival (you have to love rock walls!). There was the usual rush to finish final papers or study for a final exam along with students starting to pack after putting it off for ages, scrounging around for cardboard boxes and tape. And all of the "lasts;" the last party, the last weekend, the last Monday, the last paper, the last test, the last class, the last few friends to hunt down and say goodbye to before leaving.
I'm glad to have summer break after a year of hard work, and I'm going to catch up on reading all the books I haven't had time to read. But I'll miss having friends as close as the floor lounge; the walk the Quad is nothing compared to hours of driving when it comes to visiting a friend. Hiram has become my home over the past few months and I will miss it over the summer. At least I'll be back early, with the rest of the RA's. Until then, I will patiently wait, check up with friends on Facebook, work at a summer job, read as much as I can, go hiking and enjoy the hot Ohio weather.
I'll see you next year. =)

The 3-Week
My 3-Week class this semester is Creative Writing. My Professor is Jeff Swenson, who is in charge of the writing center, a place on campus where students can get help with their writing for classes from other students who are trained to work there.
Class has been pretty enjoyable. We have plenty of reading and writing assignments, of course, and we have plenty of in-class discussions. On a couple of warm days we went outside to sit in the class for our in-class reading. Once we took a field trip to the field station, a forest and wildlife reserve a few minutes off campus that is a common haunt by Biology students, and walked around the woods for part of our writing exercise for the day.
Jeff is a wonderful professor to have. He makes a 3 hour class enjoyable to be in, and everyone in the class seems to be learning plenty about writing.
