Welcome back folks. I hope you had a refreshing and restful break. As we head into Q4, let's just acknowledge that it gets increasingly difficult with the spring weather and summer approaching to stay focused. The good news is that the quarter will fly by and before you know it, another year will have passed. We will move into trig next. The early going is generally straightforward, but it tends to get confusing fast. So stay on top of things.
Your exploration is also due at the end of the quarter. While that may feel like a lot of time, it's really not, given other things on your plate. Stay up with the intermediate deadlines and you'll be fine. See you in class.
Mr. Alei
