You've spoken, and I've listened. Using this page to keep up with information from class just isn't working out like it should, so I'll be posting to my teacher blog instead at http://misterconaway.blogspot.com - check there for class notes, assignments, etc. Feel free to continue to message me through this account or by emailing [email protected] - Mr. Conaway
