Oh yeah - Presidents' Day Eve addendum

(and by the way, is it Presidents' Day or President's Day? I figure it belongs to at least George and Abe, even if other ex-executives may not always be deemed deserving of a national holiday, so I'm going with the plural version.)

P.S. I was going to address Jason's query about my prospective membership in the class of 2012. I'm turning 19 in July and, as many 19-year-old Mormon males choose to do, I'm taking two years off from school to serve as a missionary. I'll spend this time doing service and spreading the gospel, as well as possibly learning a new language. I don't know where I'm going it, but it could be almost anywhere in the world other than a warzone or a Middle Eastern/North African nation (countries where missionaries are either not safe or not permitted into). Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about it all. I plan to turn in my paperwork in May; this should allow me to find out where I'm going towards the end of July, perhaps, and leave around the beginning of September.

The two years of missionary work are going to push my graduation date back to 2012, hence my comment on Henrik's post. I think the toughest thing about my missionary service is going to be parting from my freshman class - they'll all be seniors when I return. But being a missionary is definitely going to be worth it.
