Okay King Tim, Thursday sounds good.  I didn't realize we had three hours
on Thursday.  Actually, I didn't realize we only have 1 hour tomorrow!
Doh!  I should have gone to the physics lecture today prior to thermo.

Good point.  Maybe we should have voiced our desire of proposals back over
working lab stations!

Oh, and let's not forget our electives!  I'm rather behind on my readings.
So, which one did you end up choosing Tim?

Yes, how are you guys going to keep your table of contents?  Sometimes I
just scribble ideas down and thus by subject would see stupid.  By date?

Since we are keeping all the receipts, I propose that we write down who
paid for the purchase at the back (including how much if the cost was
shared) and do a run down of the cost at the end.  One person could keep
all the receipts (which would be more organized - I prefer this) or we
could just gather all the receipts at the end.

By the way, were we supposed to do a rough estimate of costs for our
proposal?  Oops.
