"Hello" from Kirk

Great to meet you! Shouldn’t you be on BlackBoard? Just kidding, I’m not on it either, so we’re good. If you’re a professor reading this, my computer broke and it will be fixed in three days. I’m just kidding again. I always get my homework done first before I do anything else. Don’t you? I’m […]
