Well I'm sorry for my inactivity, I know the colleges are done with their exams but mine are still looming over me and I need to study for them. I'm sorry about not being there for you guys, and the quality of my reports, or lack thereof.

Anyways, I've got some stuff to announce for the House and plenty of things to say...
