well its almost time for this project to be done, and its a relief to not have to have this hanging over our heads any longer. Im also very thrilled to get a progress report later in the semester or early next about how it was received...im sure that it will be met with nothing but kind words, we worked very hard on this project and as this semester comes to an end it will be nice to get some "rest" for a while. With our holiday just having ended Im sure some of us got a small taste of what "rest" is like and are more than ready to get some for once. it will be a nice, much needed change of pace from work, school, and whatever else we have going on.

Through our project and getting small glimpses into other groups I have become much more aware of what our men and women in the forces go through when they are away and a better understanding of everything they miss. I am eternally greatful of everyone that does what you all are doing. It takes more courage than I could ever muster up.
