Group Nu

Our group decided to write a bill to lower the drinking age limit to 18 years. We did our research by looking at several statistics and articles that involved the topic of our bill. After intense researching on our topic, we decided to start writing our bill. Since the bill project is a lot of work, we thought it would be wise to split up the work. Each of us took an even share of the workload and... yeah, now we're working hard on it. :]

*cough* Yeah.

-Cecilia, Vanessa, Eileen, David

You guys do know that you don't have to keep posting about your bill. He only wanted us to blog on the first day in the library to understand what we're going to be doing in general o.o. Well... since everyone seems to have posted what they did today I will to. Our group started filling out and answering the worksheet, that is, the "outline" for our real bill. We are still uncertain to what we are going to do, but we'll figure it out... If all else fails... I say, "wing it!" -Viet Nam Vu
