revised ed week schedule

Denise and I got our room assignment-3203 Merrill Hall. Why are we always on the 3rd floor? But Merrill Hall is the closest to the cafeteria.

I've made several changes from my previous picks...even of classes that I originally really wanted to go to. I hope I can get in to the classes I want.

Will I be able to sneak out for a bit on Friday and buy some peaches? The 14 jars we canned won't last long.

Ed Week insanity
