Michael, you do realize the final project is due tomorrow and you’ve had over a week to work on it right? E-mailing me the night before it is due might be cutting it kind of close. I thought you were working on the class dictionary, is that correct? I would look back over the list of topics to choose from.
Hey mr. beck what papers do i need for that camp next week? Just the registration one and do i need another emergency card?
Yes both the registration and the emergency card.
See you next week.
