End of semester...are we still going to try this?

So obviously the semester has been difficult on all of us, I haven't even looked at this thing since probably February. Are we going to try this over the summer, or consider it a failed attempt?

Titles

As you can see, I've taken some from Haley's post as well as a couple of Pam's suggestions and listed them on the left. Please comment if there's anything anyone feels strongly about. Myself, I feel strongly that I really don't want to read "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" this semester. ;-)
