I have been away from campus this week because of a family emergency in Tennessee.

I cannot believe how supportive my professors have been to me. I communicated with all of them via email about my situation, and I made sure to take all of my assignments with me. I had access to the internet, so I was able to email papers and participate in discussions on blackboard.

Just an FYI: my professors are P. Smith, J. Kunz, M. Demidenko, and D. Gioia, and they have all been so willing to work with me during my time of absence.

I fly back to Baltimore tomorrow.

Until I write again, I would appreciate your prayers for my family.

Thanks…
