Salve and welcome. This is your nexus to the schoolwork I have posted on the internet. Please, if you're going to use my work as a source, please cite me. I worked very hard on these documents and I would like to have credit for them.  Be forewarned that a lot of things are cross-listed as they fall under multiple categories.  Maybe eventually, when I get around to it, I'll pull out my fun little pocket guide to documenting and actually tell you how to cite me in several different formats, including MLA, APA, Chicago, and more.

More will be coming soon, when I get the patience to upload my work from the 2002-2003 school year.  If there is a paper listed, but no link, please contact me and I'll see what I can do to give you a hand.

While you're here, you can also take a look at the news.  Why don't you?
