Answer “T” or “A” or #1 here (seriously). _____________________________________________________________________________________________ PARTING  IS  SUCH  SWEET  SORROW Just so we don’t get overly mushy when we break up, I’ll tell you here how much I’ve appreciated having you people in my class. Y’all are a bright, downright pleasant bunch o’ folk, whom I’ll miss tremendously (speaking collectively, of course, not necessarily individually). I wish you all the best with your academic careers. Please accept my apologies if I’ve ever embarrassed or offended you, or overstepped my bounds in any manner. In return, I’ll forgive your yawns, naps, fits of boredom, e-mailing, web-surfing/shopping, and doing homework for other classes while I lectured (yes, I noticed). I hope you at least pass those courses. :o/ _____________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ WAIT! A PARTING GIFT!
