Please be aware that we are in the "calm before the storm" right now. It seems pretty light, but December will be here before we know it and there is A LOT going on in December. Plan ahead and be ready for everything! I know how easy it is to wait until the last minute to complete and turn in assignments, but if you can do it early and save yourself the stress, please do so!
