    B. Psychological conditioning after you were "decanted" (Write about at least one interest/hobby and at least one thing you dislike doing/something you’re not interested in.)

  • Reading schedule calendar was handed out. Chapters assigned on one day are expected to be finished the following class day. If you are absent, there is no excuse for not reading.
