I'm a software computer engineering student at UF. When I'm not 8 hours behind on web lectures, I play football, racquetball and my trusty 360, among other things. As of this writing, almost everything I've posted has been old essays from highschool. I give any student full permission to copy and paste any of my writings for a school assignment. You don't even have to cite me. As long as you aren't making money from it, I don't care. Just leave a comment so I know I helped you out.
