READY FOR FINALS ANYONE?

Today, in the hectic class of Smith period 2, we started to work on the Monstrous outline for our dreaded final.  We spent a lot of the class deciding on how to write out the thesis and the rest of the paper. Discussing the thesis was a work that frustrated us. Then we decided we were good and moved to the body paragraphs. We got through the body paragraphs well and moved to explain the conclusion. Then a hectic end to a hectic day in the world of Smith. HOMEWORK IS AT THE BOTTOM!
