“Present, sir”

My university has just published on the Internet class lists of students who are enrolled in the same subjects as me in 2009. I was delighted to find that each class list contains the names of 6-8 individuals I’ve met and befriended during previous years of my course …. which is just fine with me because it means I’ll have lots of people I can confer with when the time rolls around to submit written tasks for assessment during semester.
