On May 12 last year, I'd written "Great job, Romina!", because she'd creted this page herself.

There are many inaccuracies in this table. Some don't's seem to belong to the other column... and many ideas need to be reconsidered... Also, there are a couple of language mistakes... Class 2006 never got to producing a drafted version of this poster. Let's see how far Class 2007 can go!
