Hello World!
I really sympathise with all those Trek celebrities who sit signing autographs for hours on end at conventions. An hour into my exam today, I couldn't feel my right hand, and by the end, I was fearful that it might suddenly drop off if I made any sudden movements.
Fortunately, that was my only big writing exam, as I've opted to write a 3,000 word essay instead for Roman History, and my other two subjects are languages. They still offer pain though - not the physical pain of writing too much - but the mental anguish of not being able to remember what those words staring at you actually mean. Ah well, in less than 2 weeks, it'll all be over.

Trek Two Years Ago
This was the major news headline on November 14, 1999:
- New Trek Episode Details
A Creation convention at Las Vegas revealed further details about forthcoming Voyager episodes:The first is entitled 'Memorium' and involves the Voyager crew recalling memories of being in a past war, one which they themselves have never been in. I'm guessing this is either one of those "memory wipe" episodes or perhaps something similar to Next Gen's "Inner Light" where the experiences of a society are experienced by outsiders telepathically.
The other episode talked about was a sequel to 'Fair Haven,' which later gained the title 'Spirit Folk.'
