BTW There will be NO presentations on Monday

Group one and two will give their presentations on Thursday 12/03. Group #3 will give their presentation on Monday 12/7. Test #9 over mostly chapter 24 will still be given on Thursday 12/10.

Mondays test will have at least 70 questions. I think there will be 5-6 about the kidney stuff mentioned below. The rest will be from mostly chapters 13 and 19. There will be fewer questions from chapter 41. ( I think around 15-17 questions)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

lolcats later on this afternoon when I finish changing the oil and washing and waxing my car. :)
