Central Asia Class
In more graduate school news, I ended up with an "A" on my presentation. I've been neglegent about the news now so I must get back onto looking through all of it. I am starting the coding for the data this weekend, and with a few hundred projects I'm hoping to be able to finish it this month if I'm dilligent.
