Summary Our group has made a great improvement since the last two weeks. DJ has been the glue that keeps us together for the entire project. I was trying to guide Matt and Akshay through this project since the time it started and they seem to have a better understanding of how to take responsibility to this project. We have finally got this group from bad times to good times. Brandon

Reflection I thought the book was decent, i wouldn't recommend it, it was to hard to work with and the story line sucked. The theme was a band of vampires attacking a town in Alaska, making a mess of things and almost exposing themselves.
