Posted on November 28, 2011 by aevallegalicia

Here it is, the end of yet another semester.  As with the semesters prior to this one, this is the time that I start planning the upcoming tours for the next season.  This semester’s wasn’t as well attended as I’d hoped–a big part of that is thanks to the ongoing technical issues we’re having on campus with the firewall–but if [...] Continue reading → Continue reading →
