Hello, Randy said John. How has your day been
going? Not so great, I lost my planner and ripped my
homework folder. It sounds to me like you will have to
make a trip to the bookstore tomorrow morning. How
do you keep your papers so organized and your folder
so neat said Randy. Well, I clean out my homework
folder at least once a week. Don’t worry, you’ll get the
hang of it. I certainly hope so. Thanks for the great
advice said Randy.
