I'm also using google docs again (this time an excel document). What a convenient tool that I've often forgotten about in the past.

Even tomorrow's looking bright as I have plans to work again with a classmate from our class. I'm on board with collaboration, it's a wonderful thing. It's the creativity that's got me stumped. Until I spiral the other way....
