Change to test date

Because it looks like that I will out again on Friday taking care of my sick son, I have decided to move next week's test on the Enlightenment and the American Revolution back one class day. Instead of being on Wednesday, Sept. 5, it will be on Friday, Sept. 7. This will give us time on Wednesday to go over a few more things before the test.
