The majority of you will be pleased to know that I received a vote from our absent class member via email.  We will begin to study the Odyssey next.  Please have your text and workbook for Tuesday.  If you only have one of the books bring it and order the other on line as soon as you read this.  A.K. please finish the Aeneid as soon as you can.  You must have a report card to prove you earned high school credit for this quarter.  I will get that to you when you finish the workbook so your parents will have it when they apply for credit for you.
