Nov 17, 2002 I am a 2001 graduate and Valedictorian (and also made a 5, the highest, on my AP English Senior National Exam...yeah...just trying to show the credentials here) in search of a little extra money to help me out. I considered majoring in English/Journalism but decided on computer art because I love my iMac so much. I also love Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Interpol... Also of note, though these papers are of A+ caliber, they are also written in a believable format that should ring genuine to most professors and teachers as opposed to other papers of PhD. and meticulous scientific research quality which may be viewed as false/"too good" (at least in my book as a student)....thanks! :)
