LECTURE NOTES

no notes, sorry

summary: George Washington was good guy, everybody likes him.

I wasn't able to make it to class this day, so I can't post any notes. However if someone would like to email me their notes so I can post them, you can do so, by emailing: [i made it so you can't select it so I don't get spam]

If you don't want me to post your notes, and you just want to email them to me to help me study, I'd appreciate that too, thanks.

Thanks a lot.
