Thankful
Thanksgiving Break is just a few days away! I know that most everyone on campus is glad that the break and the holiday are coming. It will be good to have a little time away from classes.

From this point forward . . .
No matter who you voted for yesterday, no matter how you feel about the outcome of the presidential election, please remember to be kind to those who do not agree with you.

Irritations
