Paper Progress

I turned my paper in for teacher edits. I think I gave it to the teacher that would edit it the harshest, so I'm hoping I don't go too crazy with trying to fix all of the edits and make it perfect. I got an e-mail back from the children's museum, I'm going to e-mail her back in a minute here. Right now I'm just feeling really sick.

Also, I have to look into the professor guy....
