As promised, I am dedicating this entry to the first Day At Kellogg weekend coming up February 10th-14th. But before I do that, I would like to take a moment and tell you about some new friends that I made since the beginning of the winter quarter. In my class, the class of 2012, 33%… Continue reading
Finally Finished Fall Quarter
Just a few weeks ago, the fall term ended with final exams in our first quarter classes. But getting here wasn’t necessarily a piece of cake.
