Happy Midterm!?!

Day #100

Thought of the Day:

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this.  For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching forward.
- Henry Ford

Bad Joke of the Day:

What bow can't be tied?
