New Year

Hey! So obviously I haven't been very good about blogging. But now I'm going to do a quick review of the last 2 months!

November went really fast and was mostly uneventful. December went really fast too but was super eventful. I finished my senior History paper, and just to give you an idea about how long it was, just my bibliography was 601 words. I got an A- on the paper overall (YAY) and my professor suggested submitting it the Phi Alpha Theta (History Honors Society) contest next year (also YAY). The rest of my classes went well. In my class on the Greeks and Romans I got an A (better than I hoped for) and in my recent U.S. History class I got an A as well (which I expected but I got an A- on my final project that was a little, shall we say, mushy), so YAY! I haven't gotten my grade for my Civitas/Honors project, which is my History paper plus a reflection on my paper plus a presentation, because I haven't done the presentation. But, if I do well on the presentation/do it this will probably have been my best semester (including my A in German). So, overall, YAY!

I got to go home on the first day of finals because I took my one actual test early. However, before I left, I went to the midnight showing of The Hobbit for a friend's birthday. It was super fun and a super great movie.

My first week of break was relaxing, but after the 23rd, things got crazy. First, Christmas, Merry Christmas by the way, was great. Then, on the same day, I turned 21 and had a wedding rehearsal/pre-wedding stuffs for my best friend's wedding. The next day, obviously, was the wedding.

If all this excitement was not enough, on the 30th, we went to NYC for a few days. On New Years Eve we went to Central Park and watched fireworks, after going out to dinner. We mostly walked around and looked at stuff (pictures quite possibly to follow soonish). My favorite was seeing the building where the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire happened. Yeah, I'm a history major, I know. NYC was cool, but I have mixed feelings on the city.

And now, I have a couple days before the start of my last J-Term. Hopefully, I will be better at blogging in the new year and maybe I'll actually have something to blog about!
