Finals Week: Some Notes

* I have found several cool podcasts this week and have been loving them
1) "12 Byzantine Rulers: A History of the Byzantine Empire" has been a good listen. I really enjoy and remember a lot about the Byzantine Museum in Athens and it has been good to relearn a lot of this stuff.
2) "Plato's Republic" will be good to just have. I need to burn it onto a disk so that I can listen to it in the car.
3) "Ancient and Medieval History" has been good. I am preparing to listen to a lecture on Charlemagne.

* Finals week is here. I have already taken one at 8:00 a.m. this morning. This semester was good enough to me to allow me to take the only geography class that Mark Elrod will ever teach. While Asia and Africa are not really my forte, but it has been an enjoyable semester in class. I have learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing it.

* I always have the same questions at the end of the semester: should I sell this book or keep it? On one hand I could totally use the cash, but on the other, for the most part I have really enjoyed this book. Should I add this to my small personal library because I might need to look back on it, or should I just dump it? These are always issues for me, especially since I am getting further and further into my majors classes and am getting more and more books that I want to keep. It is tough. Anyone else have this trouble?

* I am thinking about selling a lot of my useless books on Amazon. That'll be nice to make some room.
