Beam me up. Good week for a week 1 with final to write and grade.

Really hoping for Olympics this summer for sure! Nice breezy Week 1, which gives me plenty of time to attempt to be constructive this weekend!

Then they wouldn't be week 1s...the beauty of Matt's progression is that dopes like me can get week 1s.

Beam me up. It only took less than half an hour and there were already 80 ahead of me on the board.

Home please Mr Scott
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Week 1 does not require a very strong beam, but up I go.
Tell Ross I was looking for Easter eggs but couldn't find any.
