Oh my god.... Great minds think alike i must say how weird!!.. haha okay well i find this very helpful i like to know what you are expecting from us for the rest of the year. Now in between drafts i can start doing future work so i can hand things in on time and be up to date and not behind anything. The editorial hand outs were also very helpful.. as weird as this sounds i am sort of excited to do all this work because i feel like i can be successful in it and im ready for the responsibility.

Shazia Rahaman said...
