Last month I didn't sign up until the half way reminder went up. Then I looked at the prompts and got suddenly inspired. And, like I said, wrote them all in 3 days.
That's a long winter break. When I was in college we only got a month off between 1st and 2nd semester (from beginning of December until beginning of January). At least that was the schedule at my college. Summer went from early/mid-May until mid-August.
My brother's schedule was much different, though. He had trimesters at his school (like many of the school on the west coast) so he had breaks at really different time than I did.
I took summer classes after my 2nd year of college. Took a full course load, too. I remember there was a really dumb computer course because I needed the credit. This was back when personal computers weren't in every house so half the people in the class (many over the age of 30) didn't even know how to turn one on, lol. I breezed through it. And I took a Shakspeare course which was interesting and a US history one (which was my favorite). And a PE (for the credit). I was scheduled to graduate a semester early and if I had stayed in and took summer courses the next year I would have graduated a whole year early. But I quit after that summer. I guess I burnt myself out.
I didn't know what else to do, though. I didn't have a job over the summer but didn't want to abandon my apartment for 3 months to go home (350 miles away). My dad paid my bills for me while I went to class (normally I worked in the school cafeteria but they go down to part time help in the summer and I didn't have a car to get to a job off campus).
