The Original Test 2: Posted January 13, 2007 and Winner!

Please see test posted on January 13, 2007 for test questions (although at this point class, I don't see the interest that I'd hoped to see.)

Ahh, well, it is your education. But keep in mind, I'd make a pretty good reference on that resume in your future. And class, my memory is pretty sharp on some things. I shan't forget this anytime soon; I can promise you that!

While I'm deeply saddened by these results as a whole, once again, it is my STAR Pupil who has gladdened my heart. Hence the rainbow of color.

Oh, it is truly, we girls, once again, GUYS; GIRLS RULE, BOYS DROOL.

AND WE GIRLS ARE CATS AND YOU BOYS ARE DOGS, AND WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER IN ONE HAPPY WORLD!

mmmHHMM.

THE WINNER IS ... drum roll, please!

Thanks, Teach, for such a good grade. I really enjoyed this test. If I still have a choice on a book, I would like the Corpsman book.(I already have a signed copy of Operation Homecoming, I was lucky enough to get the first of Teach's special complimentary copies)
Thank all of you again for such a wonderful blog!
