nostalgia
I had to save my S/PDI reflection to an old disk here at the house, and ended up finding a bunch of old documents from my senior year of high school. One of them was a survey that Jennifer sent and I evidently put off a physics project to do it instead. It made me laugh, and I'm putting it here for posterity. Oh, what a naive girl I was...
okay. since jennifer has decided to dog me for being anti-survey, and then she sends me THIS booger and my options are 1)toothpick testing for the bridge, 2)calculus homework [ha... jennifer, we *always* do our calculus homework!] or 3)read king lear.
so. i'm going to do the survey. argh... here goes.
love, sarah
