Well, these past few weeks have taught me that the quarter system is brutally efficient. As soon as you get the feeling school work is going to let up they time it so that it is starting again. I have now realized that when I reach the point that I am taking a sigh of relief, that is the point when I should start worrying again. Of course it would be possible to have a semester sat up just as intense, but I have not experienced it in practice yet. I think a compromise between the quarter and semester system would be great because there is a lot of wasted time in a semester.
Anyway this post is just meant to be a quick update not a critique of education. I am on the Mock Trial team and it is interesting because I have not done this activity since Junior High. It is certainly a change from debate. I am also in the Triathlon Club. Unfortonuately Mock Trial has been keeping me busy, so I have not improved in shape that much. Doing another Tri would be a lot of fun though!

MIT manages to make the semester system act like how you just described the quarter system..
I figured that would likely be the case. I am not sure if I am down with this three sets of classes a year thing yet, but we shall see..
