Keep Pressing Save
I was behind and that is all that consumed my mind. We have all been there where our to do list is like five pages and are head is spinning because we do not even know where to begin.

Farewell Address: Part 2
My farewell address blog from last semester ended with looking forward to the arrival of “Act 2”, the second semester. As I write these words, today is officially the last day of classes.
