oh man, what have you gotten yourself into. Just kidding. Have fun and good luck, and don't get too frustrated on 1b and 4a and b. Those are the really tough ones. Happy trails.
Don't hesitate to cry out on the forum in pain, frustration, joy, triumph, or whatever other emotions might be applicable. We have all been there (and still are, generally, with every new assignment).
Welcome, cowpoke! You've chosen a great time to join the drive. There's lots of action, and plenty of people to commiserate with! Watch for your name in the assignment log thread on this forum. If you post your attempts on each assignment, we can keep track of where you are on the trail!
