hey guys, last minute words... sw33t deal with the blog. WE'RE ALMOST DONE OUR FIRST SEMESTER YOU GUYS!! I'm stoked, so I don't know about you guys. It's been a great class [seriously, it's the only one I haven't skipped all semester], and I've really enjoyed sharing discussions with you guys. It's too bad we can't have a swap session and read everyone else's papers.. I feel like our discussions will go on with no sense of closure.. :\ anyway, good luck on finals you guys! and have a great holidays!! :)
