Attention all parents and students!
There is a change in the class detention policy: If a student receives detention, he or she must serve that detention before returning to class the next day. If a student misses detention, he or she is responsible for serving that detention the following morning before class begins. Otherwise he or she will not be able to attend class. Any assignments missed because of this will be late and/or marked with a zero.

1. VPP13 stuff, again.
2. Greek hero essay. Final draft due Tuesday.
3. Ascetic journal. Pick the thing you will be giving up and write your first entry this evening. Write another one tomorrow evening. We will check the first two on Friday. Also, start reading chapter 2 of Siddhartha. If you want to get ahead on the chapter 2 questions, here they are:
