kachitta, how are things in the US? A bit rough but manageable. Right now (it's Tuesday) I need to write up a practice speech to give in class today, to give the real thing either later this week or start of the next one. I did what I did for the last 2 speeches I wrote this way - couldn't get inspired all day Monday and ended up working on half of it Monday night (a terrible procrastination habit, I know). It's half done (I think I only have 2 sub-points now as opposed to the usual 3), so I'll finish it up today, writing in the 2nd point and then cleaning it up. It should go well, I hope.
Ah, and I dropped you a response to your PM as well. I hope you like it.
