Hip-Hip Hooray Today for these fine folks: Emily U for our jigsaw puzzling super skills, her musty dorm room, and our defiance in the face of really boring text books Elizabeth for laughing with me at the manaquin whose clothes caught on fire when the manaquin stopped dropped and rolled in our chem lab safety … Continue reading →
