Archangel Michael, 16th c.
TIP of the MORNING: Multi-tasking does not work! To improve your speed, to improve how well you can concentrate, to improve how much you get out of reading, attending class, and watching lectures you MUST remove distractions and focus your attention. Background music, messaging, cell phones, and so forth are all bad for full concentration. Do one thing, fully and intensively, for a set period of time, then take a break and let your mind process. Then repeat.
PATRONAL FEAST OF HERONSHAW: Saint Michael, named "Who is like GOD?" protector of humanity, patron of House Heronshaw; pray for us. Saint Michael's feast day, Michaelmas, is celebrated on September 29, 2024.
REMEDIAL DAY: Monday, Oct. 6, 2025 is a "remedial day"--a day to catch up quizzes or work, fix outstanding problems, and set things in order BEFORE we begin the holiday.
