JOURNAL TOPIC:
Much of Montag's frustration seems to stem from the fact that he is so focused on his past and his future that he can't get a grip on his present.  Does this apply in your life?  When you think about your future, does it motivate/inspire you and make you happy that you're doing what you're doing, or does it worry you?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Your college education begins today: USCB representatives will join us to present on the application process, preparation, and financial aid/scholarships (*Note: if you're not planning on attending UCSB or even college in general, this will still be valuable in helping you "package" yourself for work, entrepreneurship, the military, or {?}.)

HW:
1. UCSB buys you a day, but you can't put it off forever-- by now you should have finished Fahrenheit 451.  During the UCSB presentation I will be reviewing the notes on your course blog.  Tonight you should think of any questions you want answered or ideas you want to discuss in class tomorrow, when we'll review.  Friday will be an in-class exam on the novel, and there will be an essay this weekend.
