Week 33

NOTE THAT WE HAVE THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEK LEFT OF FORMAL SCHOOL. THAT IS ALL. WEEK 36 IS AN OPEN/MAKEUP WEEK. 

If you need longer to finish all your work for the year, that's fine, but your absolute deadline is May 30. After that, Mom is off the clock, and the year is over. It would be great to have it over even sooner so that we can celebrate. This is my exhortation to anyone who needs to put it into overdrive a little, especially once all Abbey work is finished, to do so. Let's get 'er done.
