#12... You don't dress like Ward Churchill! You are so much more vogue

Hey, Ross, good to hear from you. What are you up to this semester?
Oh boy, I am so busy. The classes that I needed to take to graduate ALL
came through so the good news is that I am graduating in May, but on the
other hand I have way too much to do this semester. By the way, I haven't
forgotten the disc you wanted me to make with my final project on it. It
is on my list of things that need to get done soon. So...um...I will get
it to you soon! I love to hop on to this site once in a while and check in
on Lilly. She cracks me up! (just the facts, please.) I will get in touch
with you soon.
