Hey everybody! First off, for those who are due an email from me,
sorry...I'm not too good at keeping on top of that lately (ever?).
In any event, I graduated from Michigan last year, spent 6 months working, and
realized that I couldn't stay away from school. So, I'm now in my first year
of law school and applying to begin a program in political science next year.
That way, I won't have to miss school again for a long time.
Please find me if you are out in northern California!
