All of your problem sets have been graded -- you should come by my office (6-413) some time in the next two weeks and pick them up, if you want to.
Finally, let me say that it has been an absolute pleasure being your TA. You were truly a great class - thanks for a wonderful semester, and the best of luck with everything else that lies in your future lightcone.
Best,
Nabil
