Time flies

Seriously. Time flies. I knew that the semester was coming to an end, but I didn't quite realize how soon that would be. Next week is Dead Week. The week after that is Finals. Oh my. It seemed further down the road even though it was already the end of November. I cannot believe how fast this semester seems to be going by. Next semester is creeping up on me too. I got an e-mail before Thanksgiving that was from one of my Spring professors giving us our booklist ahead of time so that we could find the best deals on the books we need. I need EIGHT books for that one class. I hope my other classes don't need near as many books each, but time will tell. I ordered seven of the books online at barnesandnoble.com and saved $20 by shopping there instead of Amazon, and I saved who knows how much by getting the books online than if I had gotten them at the SupeStore.

Thanksgiving was a great break, one that I needed for sure. I caught up on my sleep, spent time with the parents, spent a while on the beach messing around with my digital camera and my new memory card, and did some outlet mall shopping. Unfortunately, I also did History homework. It never ends. I have a test in Western Civ tomorrow which I'm feeling pretty good about - especially when probably a third of the test I have studied more in depth in other classes I've taken at the University. The only hard part about that will having to make sure I don't go off on tangents on my essay and get all the relevant parts that I need to in there. :) I corrected my Study Guide too - because Cortes did not conquer the Aztecs in 1518, but 1521. In fact, Cortes (as far as I know) wasn't near Mexico in 1518, he didn't land in Vera Cruz until 1519 when he established Vera Cruz... I could keep on going too. And could go more in depth also - that's just the surface of the Conquest. Yes, I'm a nerd.
