Sat Oct 22th is our trip to the Met Museum. I have sent out all the info in regards to details about time/travel/costs. I can have no more than 40 people. You should bring a pen/paper and a camera to document. Your midterm will be next week. It will cover everything include Greek (what we learned today). I will send out a midterm review. Plan to be in class for about 2 hours next week. Thanks
