It's been a while. Hope the holidays have treated everyone well! ![Global Game Jam](https://blog.uat.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/GGJ13_RoundBadge.png?width=149&height=149&name=GGJ13_RoundBadge.png) It's the beginning of the Spring Semester here at UAT and we've already been busying ourselves with all sorts of events. Recently we participated in the [Global Game Jam](http://globalgamejam.org/), though I was a bit preoccupied by the [Fly-In Geeks](http://uatflyingeek.com/LPR.asp?L=285) we had visit the school in the same weekend. As I said, pretty busy around here. ![Glee](https://blog.uat.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Glee_Logo.png?width=233&height=140&name=Glee_Logo.png) It's been even busier with the new club we have at the school. A few friends of mine decided to start a Glee Club, where I was *humbly* made the "main character guy". This club is pretty cool because it mixes together singing, dancing, and the Digital Video skills a few of the club members are developing. Trust me when I say it's a great way to break a sweat. Now it wouldn't be quite right for me to make a blog post without talking about some new video games I've started playing lately. Here's a short list: - [Risk of Rain](http://riskofraingame.com/) - [The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds](http://zelda.com/link-between-worlds/) - [Wonderful 101](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/the-wonderful-101-wii-u/) - [Mario & Luigi: Dream Team](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-and-luigi-dream-team-3ds/) - [Phoenix Wright: Duel Destinies](http://www.ace-attorney.com/) - [Tomb Raider](https://tombraider.square-enix-games.com/en-us) - [Dota 2](http://blog.dota2.com/) This semester is looking super busy with 3 art classes, 2 clubs, work, game projects, and other miscellaneous tasks. I am still very excited to see what the future holds for me and my fellow students and staff this year! - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester&title=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester&picture=https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3455363/Imported_Blog_Media/6a00d8345194a469e2019b03496da5970c-pi.jpeg&description=A%20University%20of%20Advancing%20Technology%20student%20writes%20about%20starting%20a%20glee%20club%20on%20campus%20and%20playing%20new%20video%20games.) - [** ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester&text=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester) - [** ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester&title=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester&summary=A%20University%20of%20Advancing%20Technology%20student%20writes%20about%20starting%20a%20glee%20club%20on%20campus%20and%20playing%20new%20video%20games.) - [** ](mailto:?subject=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester&body=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester%20https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester) ### Don't forget to share this post! - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester&title=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester&picture=https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3455363/Imported_Blog_Media/6a00d8345194a469e2019b03496da5970c-pi.jpeg&description=A%20University%20of%20Advancing%20Technology%20student%20writes%20about%20starting%20a%20glee%20club%20on%20campus%20and%20playing%20new%20video%20games.) - [** ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester&text=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester) - [** ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester&title=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester&summary=A%20University%20of%20Advancing%20Technology%20student%20writes%20about%20starting%20a%20glee%20club%20on%20campus%20and%20playing%20new%20video%20games.) - [** ](mailto:?subject=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester&body=Back%20from%20Break:%20Adventures%20in%20the%20New%20Semester%20https://blog.uat.edu/academics/back-break-adventures-new-semester) ### Comment ## Related Articles [Digital Video](https://blog.uat.edu/tag/digital-video) ### [Camera Angles Tell a Story](https://blog.uat.edu/camera-angles-tell-a-story) The camera angles in any movie are extremely important, it’s what makes or breaks a film.
