I don't think I've ever wanted a semester to end as badly as I did this one. Lots of things just seemed to be going wrong. But, I made out quite well.

Audio for Multimedia was a disappointment (not my grade, I expected that). I had been looking forward to taking it since I got here simply because I've always wanted to have some sort of relationship with the audible world with my music and my web work. There was a large focus on music theory in the beginning...and I'm afraid that has just yet to grab me. Any type of mathematics, no matter the size, frightens me like ten Boogeymen. It is the reason I could not complete piano lessons, and why I can only play drums by ear and guitar by way the tab. Part of me would love to take the course over just to get that down. But whatever, I enjoyed the class, despite my poor performance. I actually didn't hate my projects, I might even post those later.
Digital Video Production was easily my favorite class. The instructor, Chris Florio, just has it down. A great method, vast knowledge, and overall awesome karma.
Marketing proved to be a formidable foe. The work was not hard, but I have never been a fan of the business world and it was a rather drab length of time. But, the class was useful and the instructor knows what he is talking about. Certainly recommended.
Interface Design and Animating Graphics for the Web were fun projects, but a waste of time. I wish I had tested out of both and saved some cash. But oh well, if nothing else, they solidified what I knew and allowed me to move forward.
