Groundhog Day!!!!!

So, will we Floridians have six more weeks of non-Winter, or six weeks of early Spring? So hard to tell!

Quick announcement: If you are at all interesetd in the Ireland trip next spring break (or, for seniors only, the Paris trip in the fall) I encourage you to sign up as soon as you feel you can commit. We have limited spaces. (Also, I do have thre open seats on this spring break's Germany trip for anyone who has an extra pile of money lying around. Yeah, it's last-minute, and it's a small, cozy group, but you'll be able to say that you saw Neuschwanstein Castle with Tony R. David B., Danielle M., and other cool kids!)

On to academia:

Gifted English II: Review Othello vocabulary for Act I; quiz tomorrow. Reading: Othello. Reminder: We will start with Strunk and White's The Elemens of Style on Friday in class.

APees: Before we launch into John Keats, I want to spend a couplef of days with William Blake. Totally worth it. However, I am going to give you the Keats stuff today for advance reading if you have time. Also, we will be going over some introductory elements of Jane Eyre today.
