New Hex

New Hex starts on Monday, March 9, 2009. Some guidelines for Ag Hex (we will go over this on Monday) - Always bring writing utensil and paper, no cell phones ever, no musical devices ever, no swearing ever and try to minimize restroom and drink breaks. We are the first class of the day so I expect that the need for drinks or restroom to be non-existent unless you are sick.
