For Thursday!

Hey everyone,

I know it says on the syllabus to post your 6-word memoirs on the blog before Thursday, but don’t.

Instead, bring them to class on that notecard that Mary handed out in class and make sure they are also recorded in a notebook somewhere.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion!
