A couple notes:

• Your books should be the first thing on your desk when you sit down. Don't even open your computer until you have a book out.
• Once you finish a book, start a new one.
• No, I haven't graded your essays yet. You will get an email when I assess it. You will not get a "score" yet because it's not about the score. First, you must focus on your areas of strength and weakness.
