A year-end activity

In today's 316 class, I gave back to the students the New Year's Resolutions they wrote down on Dec. 29 last year so that they could check if they've achieved them.

I asked them to check the one(s) they kept and put a cross before the one(s) they didn't. The students were surprised that I still keep the papers. (A perfect mess!) Since they seemed to be curious about what they had written, I was sure they've forgotten the resolutions, not to mention achieved them. Then I asked them to write down their resolutions for the coming year. I haven't read them, but I'm sure they must have put down "Go to a good college" on the list. Well, I wish them all dream come true.

2007, bye-bye.
