We are still waiting for Council meeting for our T32. However, my student's F31 (she was in her first year) was cancelled yesterday.

I came to US thirty five years ago leaving Soviet Union and looking for a freedom. At a time US was truly a shining city upon the hill. It is so sad to see that all being destroyed. US is starting to look scarily similar to Soviet Union.
