For the first time in a long time...

Hey guys,

Congratulations. It's over; by or around now Erin is handing in the final copy of our paper. I know this is the first post in awhile, but it's the first time in awhile I've felt prepared enough to post something.

What I've seen you guys do over the past few days has been incredible. We only got that draft back on Sunday, and with three days to polish, correct, and, in a few cases, create we managed to pull together in an incredible way. I know I've probably bored you all enough by now with my psycho-babble about synergy, but today I saw us pull together in a way I'd never seen us pull together before; we've really managed to do as a group what none of us could do alone. Today I saw groups identify problems, decide together the course of action, and turn two hours worth of work into ten minutes of easy revisions. I don't know if some special ingredient got added (maybe the pressure), or if we're just growing as a group (which would be a shame since this is our last endeavor together), but great job guys. Sorry, I know I can get overly sentimental sometimes, but congratulations guys. We did it.

Faithfully yours,
Sam.

Spring Broken (but not our project!)

Hey guys, hope your breaks went well.

I just finished my time sheet, and WOW is it barren over the latter part of my break (beautiful). I expect yours to be just as empty, or you'll make me look like a lazy jerk (remind you of someone from Writing?)

Anyway, we had our crazy Tuesday meeting (silly co-op meeting) and now tomorrow is our weekly Thursday meeting. The Editing team will be returning the big draft doozy to us for our continued input and revision based upon their guidance. We're reaching the home stretch folks, so don't lose heart yet! Meeting tomorrow (Thursday) in Room 56 from 3:30-4:30, see you there.

Your faithful Team Blogger,
Sam.
