I attended our last (weekly) TIGR meeting of the year. I attended our last book club lunch for the year. I did the minutes of my last TCW meeting, ever. My term on the board is over at the end of December, so I won’t do the January minutes.
I stopped at Sam’s on the way home to check out the portable DVD players. They had a decent one for $279, or was it $299? I bought some food while I was there.
I checked my grades to see if my ENG 518 grade had been posted. “A” Yippee. That project notebook must have been acceptable. What a bitch that project was.
