    VC and Elizabeth, I sent the contact list out to your emails. If you can't see it, check your spam folder. Also if you have any troubles opening it, just let me know and I can

    It's quick and painless, no worries. I'm sure they pad the deadlines so they get our info way in advance of when they really need it. It's been quiet on here. I catch myself jumping on Campus Cruiser...

    thanks vc, antichick and student for the watch and parking info. Walking from the TR campus doesn't seem too bad but I don't care to be treking my books in the 100+ degree weather from overflow...

    That's great that you guys are able to get your CPR done early and get to do it together. How fun! Have any of you found a watch? I'm becoming more of a germaphobe and really want a separate one just...
