Thank You for a Great Semester

There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. 

But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.

Grades are now in. If they're not up all ready, they should be up in a day or so.

I very much enjoyed this semester's classes. I hope you had a good time, too. Luckily, I get to see many of you back in the spring.

Have a safe trip home and a relaxing holiday. Please keep in touch.
