Where does time go?

The first full round of exams for all of my classes concluded this week. So far, I have only received my not-so-exciting government exam grade I mentioned in a previous post and my Nutrition exam grade. Still waiting for my Latino Politics and History class exam results.

Registration

Got up early today to go to freshmen advising for the spring semester. My advisor’s appointment times were way early in the morning, my scheduled appointment was from 8:30 – 9:00. I arrived exactly on the minute, but I ended up leaving at 8:36. Luckily I had planned out all the classes I wanted to take back at the dorm.
