Hello, again. Its tough to read and type in this position, but I love my classes so much I've learned to work anywhere. For anyone who really cares, I have included a smattering of my papers, assignments, and other class-related materials below. I have had a great deal of fun learning and growing in my times of toil and midnight oil.

As a universal disclaimer, please understand that I am offering access to my works some of which are unedited, unfinished, and unpolished. Therefore read them only if you agree to absolve me and hold me harmless from any condition that you may experience after pressing that little mouse on the blue links. Chalk up any permanent injury, bodily harm, or mental incapacitation that you may experience as a result of an act of god.
