Oh yeah. . .

Image result for have a wonderful spring break

It was really, really great to get to know all of you over the last month (or two or three). I love the diversity of this classroom – in cultural background, language, life experience, career knowledge (great presentations!), future ambitions. . . You’re all wonderful, talented, intelligent, kind and interesting people. I hope you have a lovely spring break. If you’ll be at CWC in the Spring term, I’ll see you then! 🙂 If you’re finishing your time here, best wishes! Goodbye!
