--finishing my smp (and yes, bethany, you will get a copy. i had one for you and well, lost it, but that's not part of the accomplishment and if i don't bring a copy with me the first I visit St. Mary's this fall, I give you permission to pond me)and not killing Robin in the before, during or after.
--earning an A in Fiction Writing and gaining the respect of Dr. CB in the process (anyone in the class can you what a bumpy ride that was)
--Making English Club more visible on campus while trying to lead Take One! and graduate/Shakespeare Festival
--Getting on stage for my first Take One! show (and my second and my third ....)
