Update for 9 to 11/4/08

In class, we finished doing the CNS and have finally moved onto to visual perception.

I won't be able to upload the notes that were on the lappy until Ms Chasen sends them. Though she said she has some stuff to add. So that might not be for a while.

ALSO:
MS CHASEN IS HERE! So Ms Chasen is finally a member of blogger. I will frequently check the QUESTIONS FOR MS CHASEN section, and let you know if there are any new posts from her or other students.

Have a good weekend,
God Bless,
