Miscellaneous
--Aim to read at least 10 pages of your free reading book each day over break. If you achieve this goal, you will have read 60-70 pages! (I know that I, personally, am quite looking forward to reading John Green's new book, Turtles All the Way Down!) ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS. You have up until early-December to finish your book (see the "Free Reading--Course Component Fulfillment Options for Marking Periods 1 and 2" sheet).
--Enjoy the break! May the effects of tryptophan spare you from having to hear conversations about the effects of tryptophan.
