determine that its aluminum or zinc, or eliminate them from the options entirely, I

applying classroom knowledge to real situations.

Jimi Hendrix on, but if I really have to read, a quiet place like the library is where Ill be.
You can try the music and engineering libraries too; I could be browsing there to fuel
my ambitions.
If you join me, perhaps you can learn to love some of the things I do. Of course, therell
have to be balance; Im open to your passions too.
