From chair-dancing to 3 a.m. chats in the Pit, from copy-pen wars to agonizing over the length of headlines, it really has been fun. This has been a great experience, although the lack of sleep has definitely taken several years off my life! To Em, my partner in crime from the beginning: we made it! Even though it has been trying at times, I?ve had some of the best times with you, and I never would have had been part of this if it hadn?t been for your encouragement and support.

I wouldn?t have made it through that summer without your friendship. To Dave S.: Keep Jersey pride strong at CT! Good luck with your multitude of future plans. To Thomas: You are a funny little man, I?ve enjoyed getting to know you. To Todd: I?m so proud of the freshman Em and I found!

To Cecilia: I know Security Update will never be the same without me, but maybe you?ll finally find a writer who can remember when it?s Wednesday!
