Hi, this is one of the web pages my prof hooked our class up to as part of an assignment to make webpages. I am curious so I thought I would check it out. The list of the 20 things to do before the inaug. was sent to me before and though I laughed, I also have to cry to think that we may be loosing a lot of our freedoms. How the American people could vote this man back into office is a crime. I’m glad you have the courage to be out there. More power to you!! From Cathy who is over 50 :blush:
hi cathy,
thanks so much for your kind words. if there’s anything i can do to help you with your assignment, please let me know–i used to be a teacher, and so that statement comes as a reflex.
this reminds me of a story. when i was in eighth grade art class, my teacher didn’t pay any attention to me, mainly because i had no easily discernable artistic talent. but one day, he looked at what i was doing and asked if he could use my work as an example for the class. i said yes, and was so excited as he stood up in front of the class with my piece.
until he started speaking, and i realized that he was using my work as an example of how not to do the assignment.
if this is the case with your class, please let me know, as i will be most amused and very psyched that my life has looped back in such a marvelous way.
