I've Made a Terrible Mistake
Our college, which I will, out of good will toward the new Prez, not refer to as StupidCollege for a time (although much of the stupid remains), is piloting a January Term -- 3 weeks of intensive something -- and this is the 3rd year it has run ( Read more... ) -
The Usual. Nothing to See Here
