Hello again!

Hello all! Welcome back!

My break was fantastic – I wrote poems, visited family, and held a blue sea urchin – but I am nevertheless ecstatic, truly ecsatic, to be here.

As always, there is plenty of art on campus; below, you’ll find a tidy list of great events.

I know – we’re all terribly, terribly busy, not to mention tired. I, for one, just lugged a mountain of new books across campus. (Ouch.) However, I really urge you to drop in on a few of these events – art, as we all know, is refreshing, inspiring, and life-giving. And who knows – maybe you’ll get an idea for that paper!

Cheers, and see you around! Also, feel free to recommend an event!
