Daniel- Learned how to enact a polymerase chain reaction, and use the ensuing data to determine the origins of the DNA used in the reaction.
Daniel- Learned when a girl says; "I do not want anything for my birthday.", what she means is; "I want you to try and guess what I want for my birthday till you get it right when I eventually take pity on you and tell you.".

Jenn- Having it all does not mean living up to someone else's expectations of what having it all means.
Jenn- Stress zits are just as ugly as puberty zits.

Benjamin- Has his first job that does not involve the cooking, prepping , or serving of food in 13 years and it feels fantastic.


We all hope you have a wonderful 2013!!
