The 10-Day Forecast

I am leaving town on Wednesday, so today (Tuesday) is the last day you will see me for an entire week. Those of you who experience withdrawal symptoms are welcome to call my answering machine just to hear the sound of my lovely voice. Those of you requiring therapy will just have to check with your parents' insurance. There is only so much I can do to help you cope with my absence.

Anyway, here's the plan for the next few days:

• Tuesday 2/12
  
• Quiz
• Discuss pages 96-105 (Centaurs, Asclepius, Muses & Orpheus)

• Mrs. Jorgensen is the sub. You will treat her enormous respect and do all she says without arguing or bargaining, right? (This is where I should hear a resounding "Yes, ma'am.")

• No pop quiz, but your in-class study sheet is your quiz grade.
• You may not work in groups or with a buddy when you fill out the study sheet. The room should be quiet.
