REMEDIAL DAY NEXT MONDAY: Next week we enjoy Thanksgiving Break. Just as with Fall Break, the first day of next week is designated as a "remedial" day. On this day you should catch up quizzes, organize and study, work ahead on COMPs, and generally put things in order before you rest. Don't forget: with our concentrated schedule, breaks must be used wisely!
