Have a Nice Summer

I know that it was a bit difficult to take summer courses.  Some of our friends were at the beach while we sat in the classroom taking classes.  I tried to make the class entertaining and a bit different.  I hope that I accomplished the expectations that you had of the course.  I would like to thank you all for your time and dedication to your class.  I hope that you all have a wonderful vacation.
