Olivers Favs

While on our walk today we got to discussing the social classes brought up today during class.We all weren't really able to place ourselves in a social class, and we came to an agreement that there definitely should be more than just 9 social classes. We also went on to talk about how Heffner and how he was somewhat an hypocrite about marriage because he was married 3 separate times. We all talked about this and majority of us had agreed that we are not exactly to the point where we want to be married ourselves, but thats because there are some common fears among normal adults our age.

Thank you,
Jay Mashburn
