This Week @ City - December 5th
Good Monday morning,
I am back on campus after over two weeks away. I had a great vacation seeing (and spending) at the Christmas markets in Europe. It was magical! It is good to be back on campus with all of the end of the semester happenings. We are in the last week of classes; final exams are next week. It is the end of the semester and it seems to have happened so fast. In a few weeks we will be enjoying our winter break.
