The con was as much as I'd hoped it would be. I didn't get to spend a lot of money on a game because nobody had it, but I did play more Diplomacy than I have in a long time. It was nice to see you and ca_snowflake!

A thought on the class-related journal -- you could create a free LJ specifically for the project, then use something like http://www.ljbook.com/ to bundle it up nice and neat for your professor. No worries about your professor reading anything they shouldn't, low maintenance all around.
