Writer's block and resume building

greybetaI've run into a major case of writer's block on the ethics essay, so I'm going to wait for my muse to sing to me on that one (though she has to sing me the whole song by December 3rd...or else).
In the meantime, I've been working on the ever large Truman application. Here's the resume-building part of the application, if you ever wanted to know random details about me.
It looks a little funny cause I'm too lazy to look up the coding for putting things into tables and such. Sorry about that.
I know number four is a bit of a stretch, but I feel awkward leaving a blank on the application.
