So I had a very interesting day. Well at least to me it was interesting. I woke up sad, but don't worry my mood improved throughout the day.
I napped in the afternoon, but also got a lot of work done. We had a guest speaker in criminology, that was fun because he was actually interesting. Although whenever he thought he was losing his audience he would raise his voice to yelling point, which became slightly unnerving.
I also took a risk today in Criminology, it's a long (uninteresting) story but basically my friend and I have been in a fight for the past little. I think I made the first move to forgiveness today (not sure actually), and I dunno things seemed to shift more back to normal. Except I've thought this fight was over before, and then it wasn't. Anyway, today I feel good because I took a risk that required courage (etc.) and it did not come back to bite me in the ass.
I also got a lot of studying done after class, which made me feel oh so productive. I also messed around on facebook for a long period of time. I was hoping to discover some long lost friend, but did not, basically I just added people whom (Shashi is 'whom' the right word to use there?) I see on a daily basis.
Most important event of today: Today was my Mom's first day back at work! I called her, she said she had a good time. Yay Mom!!!
Good night all

I'm not Shashi but I think you use whom when you don't know the people (like, to WHOM it may concern)...so then WHO when you do know the WHO you are talking about...
I think you use "who" when the pronoun serves as the subject, and "whom" when it's the object, so you'd be correct in this case, cause you're seeing the people, hence they're the object.
I'm not Shashi or Heather, but I think you use whom when you want to sound pretentious (Just Imagine the Queen talking about an object. Or her subjects. It doesn't really matter. "To WHOM does this potato belong?"). And who when you don't.
And yes, I'm smirking my ass off right here.
I'm going to have to agree with the third interpretation of the use of WHOM. I think I may have learned that one in a LING class at some point, though with less of the Queen example.
