    We really are off to a rockin' start!  Just a few quick reminders:
          -- homework due on Thursday
          -- sign up for a conference; please make sure to show up for your appointment!
          -- did you turn in your yellow survey sheet?  if not, bring it Thursday!!
          -- you should have received an email with the following information:
                 
                      In class on Thursday, if it is not raining, we plan to spend a part of the class outdoors.  We're not going far,
                      but we will be walking on grassy areas on campus. 
                      Assuming the snow isn't completely melted by then, that means your feet may get somewhat wet or muddy. 
                      Please wear appropriate shoes for that activity!

                If you did not receive that email, please let us know.
